Planning for the Future

Many individuals are now choosing to arrange their own funerals for the future at today’s prices.

How long must I wait after a death before a funeral can take place?

There are a lot of forms and certificates that need to be arranged and usually 7 to 10 days is the amount of time it takes to organise a funeral.

Can i come and see my loved one before the funeral?

Yes, we have chapels of rest on our premises which can allow you to say a last farewell before the service takes place. This can be arranged at any point at a quiet time to suit yourself.

How long do i have to wait for the ashes after a cremation?

It usually takes a day or two for the crematorium to prepare the ashes for collection.

What can i do with the ashes?

Everyone is different when it comes to deciding on what to do with a loved ones ashes. You can bury them at a local cemetery, they can be scattered, divided up between family members or even the crematorium can scatter them themselves. There is no right or wrong way and we would be pleased to help you decide.

If I am cremated, can I be buried with my spouse even if he or she was in a casket?

Yes — Depending upon the cemetery’s policy, you may be able to save a grave space by having the cremains buried on top of the casketed remains of your spouse, or utilize the space provided next to him/her. Many cemeteries allow for multiple cremated remains to be interred in a single grave space.

What is a humanist funeral?

A humanist funeral is a non-religious service that is both a dignified farewell and a celebration of a life. It recognises the profound sadness of saying goodbye whilst celebrating the life and legacy of a loved one.
