Your Choice Of Funeral
Most people before death have specified whether they would like to be buried or cremated. Influencing factors may be cost, religion, family tradition, the area in which crematoria, churchyard, or cemetery is situated.
The crematoria have a service chapel available, to make your funeral bespoke items such as music, floral tribute order of service booklets would need to be discussed. If a burial is chosen, the service could take place in a church, chapel, or at the graveside.
We also have a small chapel, seating around 12 mourners if required, this can be used prior to committal in the crematorium or interment in the cemetery.
Ways to personalise your loved ones funeral include a choice of coffin, choice of the hearse, motor hearse or horse-drawn carriage, music, photographs, service sheets, and floral tributes. Poems may be read to reflect feelings felt by family or memories of times spent with your loved one. A tribute may be read by a family member, friend, or by the officiant leading the service. The service may be religious or non-religious, including bible readings, psalms, hymns, or as mentioned earlier poems or a song. You may choose to release balloons or doves after the service.
