Funeral Independent

The majority of people use a funeral director to organise a funeral "package" on their behalf. Although convenient, this increases costs and can reduce the amount of personal input the bereaved have in the funeral. If you have means of transporting the coffin and the body, you can make all the arrangements directly with Bereavement Services. If you cannot provide your own transport, you can use a funeral director to collect the deceased and transport the coffin to the crematorium or cemetery.  We can retain the coffin and the body in the overnight chapel, or a refrigerated unit, for however long you wish.
