The Attended Funeral 🫶🏼 Here for You, Every Step of the Way

When someone you love passes away, arranging a meaningful farewell can feel overwhelming. Our Attended Funeral is designed to give you the time, space, and support to say goodbye in the way that feels right for you and your family.

Here’s what you can expect:

✨ Personal Support
You’ll be introduced to your dedicated funeral arranger, who will guide you through every detail with care and compassion.
✨ Professional Guidance on the Day
Your funeral director will be there at the service to conduct the funeral and support you throughout.
✨ Choice & Personalisation
We provide a Park Coffin as part of the service, with the option to choose from a wide range of alternative coffins and caskets.
You may select a gown for your loved one or choose their own clothes—whichever feels right.

We’ll follow your wishes regarding hair, makeup, and personal effects.

✨ Ongoing Care
Our support doesn’t end on the day of the funeral. We’re here for you afterwards, whenever you need additional help or guidance.

🌸 Things to Consider When Planning an Attended Funeral, it can be helpful to think about:
• The date, time, and location of the service
• Whether you’d like a personalised procession route
• Readings, music, or favourite songs
• Flowers or charitable donations
• Printed service stationery

If you’d like to learn more about how we can support you in creating a meaningful farewell, we’re here to help whenever you need us.

Grieving the loss of someone close is a private experience which is largely determined by our relationship with them and the circumstances of their death. That close association combined with the lack of knowledge can often be the reasons why there are so many myths about the grieving process.

Choosing what to do with your loved one’s ashes after cremation can be a very personal decision. Scattering ashes can be a wonderful way to pay tribute to someone's life and say goodbye in a unique way.

This guide will explore the role of a funeral celebrant, answering questions such as ‘what is a funeral celebrant?’ and ‘how much does a funeral celebrant cost?’ to make your decisions easier when arranging a funeral.

A funeral celebrant, or funeral officiant is a qualified person, usually from a non-clergy background, who officiates funeral services. Funeral celebrants typically help organise and conduct funerals, supporting the bereaved family every step of the way with the aim of celebrating the life of the person who has died.
