Types Of Funerals

When a bereaved family is in the process of planning a loved one’s funeral, it’s important that the unique, religious, cultural and personal requirements are taken into consideration and discussed between the deceased’s family members before any final funeral arrangements are made. It is also important that burial or cremation is not the only option that comes to mind when a family is asked what type of funeral they are wanting to arrange for their loved one, because although burial or cremation is a part of the funeral, burial or cremation is not the type of funeral, it is the type of committal service.

There are many different types of religions and cultures around the world that have specific traditions and customs for funerals, burials and cremations, and those traditions and customs must always be followed and carefully implemented by funeral directors if and where possible, and we are familiar with Catholic, Hindu, Orthodox and Sikh funerals, as well as Anglican, Christian and many other types of funerals, and if for any reason we are not familiar with the type of religious or cultural funeral that a family requires us to arrange, we will then ensure that we clearly understand all of the traditions and customs before the funeral takes place.

We also have a thorough understanding of the different types of funeral traditions and customs that have a major significance to many ethnic communities, and grieving families often forget about those traditions and customs, which is why our client families rely on us to help them choose the options that will be the most suitable and practical for their needs.

Our client families also rely on us to ensure that everything is done correctly so that they are not disappointed with any aspect of their loved one’s funeral, which is the main reason why we require a certain amount of time from having a funeral signed over to us, to the day of the actual service. There is also a significant amount of critical daily schedule planning that takes place for all types of funerals, which ensures that all persons and resources required are available at the appropriate times.
