Many funerals take place within a few days of a passing. However, there is no fixed timeframe – allowing a little extra time can be helpful for both practical arrangements and family travel.
When choosing a date, it’s important to consider venue availability, the schedules of clergy or celebrants, and cemetery or crematorium bookings. Some families prefer to move quickly, while others value a little more time to gather loved ones and plan personal touches. You’ll be guided through the options to find a date that feels right.
You don’t need to have everything decided before your first meeting, but it can help to think about a few key points in advance:
A possible date for the service
Burial or cremation preferences
Location preference – church, chapel, graveside or another venue
Details for the funeral notice, including names to be included
Information required for the death registration – birth, marriage and family details
Clothing or jewellery for your loved one
A recent photograph
Thoughts about payment arrangements
If you’re unsure about any of these, that’s completely understandable – we’re here to help.

Yes – personalising your loved one’s funeral service is encouraged. Every life is different, and a funeral can reflect the personality, interests and values of the person being remembered.
Families often include meaningful elements such as favourite music, sporting memorabilia, treasured photographs, books, flowers or cultural rituals. You might choose a specific venue, invite guests to wear a particular colour, or include a symbolic gesture during the ceremony. These details help create a farewell that feels genuine and memorable.
A viewing is a very personal decision. For some people, spending quiet time with their loved one can bring comfort and a sense of closure. Others may prefer not to attend, and that choice is equally valid.
Private viewing facilities are available if you wish to say goodbye in this way, and you’re welcome to spend as much time with your loved one as you like. You can decide what feels right for you and your family.
Yes. Secure live-streaming is available at our chapel through OneRoom, allowing family and friends who cannot attend in person to participate from wherever they are.
A recording of the service is also available afterwards, so it can be kept or shared with others who were unable to attend.
Funeral costs vary depending on the type of service, venue, coffin or casket selection, flowers and the personal elements you choose to include.
Flexible options are available to suit a range of budgets. A clear, upfront quote is provided with no hidden fees, so you understand the costs before making any decisions. Pricing can also be viewed prior to meeting with a funeral director.
Whether you've recently lost a loved one or you’re planning for the future, our team is always here to help.
