When arranging a burial, there are a few costs to keep in mind. These can include purchasing a new grave, opening or reopening an existing grave, and the removal or replacement of memorial stones.

Fees differ between cemeteries, so it’s important to know what applies in your area. Your selected funeral director will be able to assist you with this information in more detail.

Having funeral cover can help manage these expenses and ensure that the arrangements are taken care of when the time comes.

Some days don’t go as planned, and that’s okay. We can’t change what life brings, but we can choose how we face it, with calm, hope, and a little grace.

Here are some of the things you need to consider when it comes to planning a cremation for your loved one:

🕊️ Wall of Remembrance
Many churches have a Wall of Remembrance. You may wish to hold the memorial service after the cremation, so that the interment of ashes can take place straight afterwards.

🕊️ Service Before Cremation
You can choose to have your loved one’s casket present at a church, chapel, or another venue before the cremation. This gives family and friends a chance to say goodbye.

🕊️ Final Farewell
After the service, it is common for family and friends to gather outside for a brief committal before the hearse departs. This moment often provides a quiet sense of closure.

🕊️ Private Cremation
Cremations are usually carried out privately and are not attended by family members.

🕊️Medical Devices
Be sure to let your Funeral Planner know if your loved one had any implanted medical devices, such as a pacemaker. These devices may pose a risk to those who handle the cremation.

🕊️ Personal Touches
You may wish to write messages on the casket. This small gesture can bring comfort to those attending and make the service more personal.

Whatever you decide, your Funeral Planner can help ensure all arrangements are handled with care and respect.

Can I use an existing grave for a loved one?

Yes, you can. Using an existing grave is often chosen if a family member has already been buried there or if your loved one wished to be laid to rest alongside someone else.

To do this, we will need the grave’s title deed or grave number, along with the cemetery details. If you don’t have these, we can help locate them. We also check that there is space for another burial, and a family member will need to sign a document at the cemetery office granting permission to reopen the grave.

Using an existing grave can be a meaningful way to keep your loved ones close.
