Organise A Funeral
Newcastle & Gosforth Family Funeral Service take care of all the practical arrangements for you,advising you of the various options to be considered for the funeral and making sure that your exact wishes are carried out at every step of the way.
The main decisions are
- Is cremation or burial prefered?
- Will the funeral be a religious or a non-religious one.
- The day,date and time the funeral will take place on.
- Where will the funeral take place.Church,cremetorium,cemetery chapel or graveside.
- Is the funeral service to be attended by family and friends or is it to be private.
Some families prefer the funeral to be held as soon as practically possible,sometimes within 4 or 5 days of a family members death. Others feel a longer period is required before the funeral takes place due to various situations,mourners having to travel a distance being just one for example.
Other considerations
- Are ''family flowers only''to be stated?
- Donations to a charity of your choice to be requested?
