Traditional Funeral
Funeral services usually take place in the parish church of the deceased, and then proceed to the cemetery or crematorium. Alternatively, a funeral service or mass can be organised to take place in a cemetery or crematorium chapel, with a member of the clergy in attendance, or a civil or humanist celebrant for a non-religious service.
What type of funeral is to be arranged:
Evening removal and morning funeral,
The majority of funerals consist of the deceased being removed to the church in the evening for a short prayer service, and a mass or service the following morning, before proceeding to the cemetery or crematorium.
One Day Funerals,
Alternatively, some of our clients prefer not to have an evening removal, choosing to arrive at the church immediately prior to the morning service or mass, and then proceed to the cemetery or crematorium afterwards.
Civil / non-denominational,
Another option is to have a funeral without references to religion, or a non-denominational service which can include some religious aspects. This type of service is usually conducted by a civil celebrant, and often takes place in a cemetery or crematorium chapel, followed by burial or cremation immediately following the service.
