Types of funeral service

We are here to guide you through the different funeral options for all traditions, cultures and beliefs.

Woodland or natural burial

Many people today look for a more environmentally friendly woodland or natural burial to a traditional funeral.

From the type of coffin and burial ground, through to the memorial choices, we have a dedicated range to choose from when arranging your woodland or natural funeral. An alternative to a traditional cemetery or graveyard, woodland or natural burial grounds offer a tranquil place for family and friends to visit and reflect.  The burial grounds are often set in meadows or woodland areas with a focus on preserving the natural beauty of the environment and encouraging native wildlife and flowers. Click here to read more

Burial

The type of funeral chosen is a very personal choice and when deciding on or arranging a burial, there are a number of important considerations including the place, grave type and memorial options. Click here to read more 

Cremation services

A crematorium is the building where a cremation takes place. Your local crematorium will normally have a service chapel for the funeral service but you may prefer to hold the service in another place, and then have a shorter service called a ‘committal’ at the crematorium afterwards.

During the committal, there may be a closing of curtains, or the coffin may move gently from sight. Some people prefer the coffin to be on view until everyone has left. Click here to read more

We are sensitive to the cultural needs of a diverse community and provides multi-faith funerals and funeral services appropriate for a number of faiths or equally for non-religious services also.

Our experienced and knowledgeable team will be happy to talk through any specific cultural or religious requirements. You can choose to do this with us or alternatively, in the comfort of your own home or place or worship. Click here to read more
