Planning a Burial Service
Working with a compassionate and professional funeral director can ease the burden of planning. We guide you through the process, from selecting a burial plot to organising the service details.
Burial services can vary from traditional funerals to more contemporary celebrations of life. Deciding on the type of service that best honours the deceased is a deeply personal choice that can also reflect their wishes.
Choosing a final resting place is a significant decision. This can be influenced by factors such as family tradition, personal beliefs, or the deceased’s pre-arranged plans.
Key Components of a Burial Service
Viewing or Wake: An opportunity for friends and family to gather, pay their respects, and say their goodbyes in a more intimate setting before the funeral.
Funeral Service: A ceremony that can be religious or secular, taking place at a church, funeral home, or graveside. It includes readings, eulogies, and music that commemorate the life of the deceased.
Committal Service: The final part of the funeral process, where the body is laid to rest. This can be a deeply moving moment, often accompanied by final words, prayers, or rituals.
Personalising a Burial Service
Personal touches can make a burial service a reflective and healing experience. Consider incorporating elements such as favourite music, readings, or a display of photographs. Personalised memorials, like engraved headstones or plaques, can also serve as a lasting tribute.
