Traditional Funeral

Our traditional funeral offers the fullest range of options, giving you the greatest flexibility when arranging a farewell that reflects your loved one's life.

The ceremony can be led by an experienced celebrant, minister, or faith representative at a place of worship, cemetery and/or crematorium of your choice. Whether you wish for a traditional memorial service followed by a crematorium, or a graveside burial, our Funeral Arrangers will guide you in creating a personal and meaningful tribute.

While arrangements are being made, your loved one will be cared for in one of our Chapels of Rest, where you can visit at a time that suits you.

On the day of the funeral, we will be by your side every step of the way. If you wish, we can provide transport for you and your family to the ceremony, with your loved one travelling in one of our hearses. You may also choose a special route, such as passing their home or visiting a place that held special meaning.
