🌿 Every Life Deserves a Personal Goodbye 🌿

At Arlington Funerals, we believe that no two lives are the same — and neither should any two funerals be. We don’t offer “off-the-shelf” services like some of the national chains; instead, we create meaningful, personal farewells that truly reflect the individual.

Whether it’s a favourite song, a special route for the final journey, or a unique choice of transport — from traditional hearses to something a little different — we’re here to help you honour your loved one in the way that feels right for you.

Every detail matters, and we take the time to listen, understand, and create something beautiful and memorable. 💜

📍 Based here in Smallthorne, we’re proud to serve our local community with compassion, care and respect.

If you’d like to talk about planning a personal farewell, we’re always here for you — day or night.

At Arlington Funeral Service, we believe every life is unique – and every farewell should be too.

As a local family-run business, we take the time to listen, understand, and create truly bespoke funerals that reflect your loved one’s story. You won’t find this level of personal care and flexibility with the larger national chains.

From choosing the right transport – whether a classic hearse, horse-drawn carriage, or something more individual – to arranging special locations, beautiful flowers, thoughtful catering, and every detail in between, we’re here to make sure the day feels right for you.

With us, nothing is “off the shelf.” Every service is built around your family, with warmth, compassion, and genuine support. 💙

💐 How to Estimate the Number of People Who May Attend a Funeral 💐

Planning a funeral often involves preparing for how many guests may attend. While every service is unique, here are some gentle guidelines to help you estimate:

🔹 Immediate Family & Close Friends – These are the people who will almost always attend, regardless of distance or circumstances.
🔹 Extended Family – Think about relatives who may travel from out of town, especially if the deceased had strong family ties.
🔹 Community & Social Circles – Neighbours, colleagues, members of clubs, church, or community groups may wish to pay their respects.
🔹 Life Stage & Circumstances – A younger person or someone very active in the community may draw larger numbers. An older person with fewer surviving peers may have a more intimate gathering.
🔹 Location & Timing – A weekday morning service may be smaller than a weekend or evening service.

At Arlington Funerals, we can help you plan for gatherings of any size with care and compassion. Whether the service is small and intimate or a larger celebration of life, we’re here to support you every step of the way. 💙
