Experiencing the loss of a loved one is one of the most traumatic times in a person’s life. Our job is to help you with the practicalities and guide you through the funeral arrangements. We are here to follow your personal instructions to make the funeral as individual as the person to which it serves.
You can either call into one of our offices either in Longford or Bedworth, or, if you prefer, someone can call to your home to discuss the arrangements with you.
Funeral service
Funerals are usually based on family traditions or religious beliefs. Alternatively, you may choose a more unique or individual funeral service. If instructions have not been left in a funeral plan or a will, the family will have to decide whether to have a cremation or burial service.
The funeral service could take place at the deceased’s church, temple or other place of worship. and the committal of the funeral would take place at a crematorium or graveside. Alternatively you may wish to hold the whole service at the crematorium or cemetery.
If you would like to engage a minister of the church or religious leader, we will contact them on your behalf. Most ceremonies include some kind of spoken word, which may take the form of a religious service with prayers, a tribute, eulogy, to the deceased’s life, and some poetry and/or hymns. If any member of the family wants to be involved in the service, that can be arranged with the minister or religious leader or celebrant.
When preparing the content of a funeral service you may like to consider some readings and/or music. Readings, they may be Biblical or from other religious books, they may be spiritual or entirely secular.
Music can take the form of hymns or songs that the congregation will sing together during the service there may be some recorded music perhaps favorites of the family that can be played as we enter and leave the service and could also be played during the service as a time of reflection.
