Planning a Funeral

There are many things to consider when planning a funeral. You may want to consider readings for the service, choose music, and arrange funeral transport. Planning a funeral service can be difficult and I am here to help commemorate your loved one in the most fitting way.

My Role in the Funeral

You can contact me directly or ask your funeral director to do so. Following contact, I will then call you to arrange a suitable time to visit and discuss your requirements.

It is really helpful to have any friends and family there when we meet to ensure everything is covered and give you support. It is best to liaise with these people and choose suitable times to suit everyone, however, I will continue to work with the family all the way up to the funeral should anything else wish to be added.

When we meet…

When we meet it will take around 1-2 hours to make sure that I can cover all the background of your loved one. If possible it is great to involve a family member or a friend during the service. I can suggest any readings that could be used.

I will ask all about the person the service is for and any particular memories, interests, funny stories and significant life events. I will also ask if there is any specific music that you would like so it is worth thinking about this before my arrival. I can also help suggest suitable musical options if you are unsure.

Some people choose to have special readings or poems read. If you are unsure I can help make suggestions on different readings that are suitable. These can be read by myself or anyone at the service.

I will also talk through the ceremony and all the different aspects so that you are well-informed on what will happen on the day.

Using your information, I will create a unique tribute and farewell for your loved one.

After the meeting…

I will give you a call the day before the ceremony. We will talk through what is going to happen and the ceremony itself. I will complete a full run through of the service so that you are happy with everything.

On The Day…

On the day of the funeral, I will be there to meet you. I will also lead the service as we will have discussed.

After the Funeral…

Personally, I think it is really important to have a copy of the service that takes place. I, therefore, provide a copy of the service to the family following the funeral.
