Types of Funeral

As peoples opinions and lifestyles have changed over the years so has the variety of funeral services.

In today’s society we always look at what is available to us and how we can make that final funeral ceremony a joyous occasions rather than a sombre one.

Traditional Funerals:

The traditional funeral is still the most requested style of funeral service to be arranged. Such as a motor hearse to transport the coffin and flowers, generally a service that is held at the crematorium where hymns are sung.

Nowadays, at the crematorium you can not just only sing hymns but you can have recorded music played that might have been personal to the deceased.

A Minister of religion would normally conduct the funeral ceremony, saying prayers, reading words of scripture and the eulogy that has been put together by the family.

This type of funeral can be most enchanting and beautiful.


Personal Funerals:

These are funerals that are personal to the deceased, such as for instance, the deceased may have been a keen motorcyclist, in which case available to us now is a motorcycle hearse (pictured). We can arrange for that “final ride”. ' Click here for more details '

The Funeral:

The funeral can be arranged to how you would like it, whether you wanted a Minister of religion or humanist minister or you might like to take the funeral service yourself along with the help of other relatives and friends taking part.

You can have recorded music played or a musician in the form of an organist, guitarist or even a soloist singer.

Most things these days are allowed at crematoria and cemeteries, however we would inform the authorities of the arrangements and providing they approve then there is no reason why you can not have what you might be requesting.
