Service Types

Single Funeral Service

A single service ceremony offers the flexibility to take place at a church, chapel, graveside, or any other appropriate location. It combines the main service and final committal into one cohesive event and does not involve a formal procession. This type of service can be personalised to reflect the unique life of your loved one and accommodate the number of mourners attending. Opting for a single service can simplify the day and ensure accessibility for all, making it a popular choice for many families.

Dual Funeral Service

A dual service encompasses both a service and a procession to the final resting place. The service can be held at a chapel, church, or another suitable location, followed by a procession that concludes with the final committal ceremony at the graveside or crematorium. This traditional approach is widely chosen for funerals as it allows mourners to reflect and pay their respects during the service, while also acknowledging the significance of the final resting place. A dual service provides a meaningful way to honour the departed and offers a sense of closure for family and friends.

Memorial Funeral Service

A memorial service is a heartfelt gathering held to honour and remember a loved one, typically when the deceased's body is not present. It can take place at a church, chapel, or another special location. During a memorial service, family and friends come together to celebrate the life and cherished memories of the departed, sharing stories and paying tribute to their unique journey. These services offer flexibility in timing and customisation, allowing for a personalised and meaningful experience that reflects the individual's beliefs and values.
