The funeral Arrangements

Most people prefer to ask a funeral director to make the arrangements on their behalf. Funeral directors will provide the coffin, funeral cars and staff for the service. They may also help with other items such as flowers and refreshments, if you wish.

Arranging the funeral

Cremation services are usually arranged between 9.00am and 4.00pm, Monday to Friday and last up to 30 minutes. We can arrange a longer service and we can also book services later in the day, or at the weekend, if required. There is seating for about 80 people.

The service may have any religious character, or be non-secular, or informal, or be omitted. Your funeral director will be able to help you decide the type of service, and may help with arrangements.

Recorded music may be played if advance notice is given. Use of the organ in the chapels is strongly recommended if hymns are to be sung. An organist should be booked in advance with your funeral director.
