A funeral service in a Church provides the environment for a denominational or non-denominational service with a minister to celebrate the life of a loved one. Services are relaxing and of course held indoors, and offer sound and audio visual systems to hear and see tributes and recall memories. The entire funeral service can be held in the Church or can then include a cemetery or crematorium committal service.
Most Churches offer the option for light refreshments following the service providing the opportunity to catch up with family and friends. A Cemetery funeral service is held at the graveside and provides for a more compact service held outdoors. Flexibility is available when choosing a clergy or celebrant to conduct the service offering a choice of a denominational or non-denomination style of service.

What to do When Someone Dies
Report
The first decision you will need to make is, will the person who has died be buried or cremated? This determines the certification required from medical practitioners. If your family member has died in hospital your funeral director will liaise with the hospital for necessary certificates for burial or cremation, in addition to organising transfer from the hospital to their mortuary.

The Funeral Service
Report
A funeral is the final opportunity that family and friends have to publicly express their love and respect for the deceased and to give support to each other. The funeral will ensure the proper and legal burial or cremation of the deceased while also helping the bereaved face the reality of death, enabling them to take their first steps towards working through their grief.
