How a Funeral Director can Assist You

From the very first call, our staff is here to help with all aspects of arranging a funeral. If the wishes of the deceased are known, some of the decision making for the family is easier. Your funeral director will guide, advise and assist you in formulating the funeral service you feel is most appropriate.

Some of the major decisions that need to be made include:

• Choice of burial or cremation
• The day, time and venue of the service
• Who is to lead the service - a member of the clergy or a celebrant, or a family member or friend?
• Is a viewing appropriate?
• What sort of casket?
• Who will carry the casket?
• What kind of music will we have?
• Who will prepare a eulogy?
• What flowers, if any would be most appropriate?
• Would you like to place a notice in a paper? Which paper?
• Would you like to arrange for people to be able to make donations to a particular charity in honor of the person?
• What special things can be done to personalise the ceremony?
