Understanding this option

A simple gathering in one place

A graveside service is held at the cemetery rather than beginning with a separate chapel, church or venue service.

The ceremony can include a eulogy, readings, music, prayers, flowers and a committal. A marquee may be used for shelter when it is available and suitable.

Final Embrace Funerals coordinates the service with the cemetery and helps the family make choices that reflect personal, cultural and religious wishes.

Transparent pricing

An itemised quote for your cemetery

The complete cost depends on the cemetery, interment fees, coffin or casket, location, timing and selected services. The team will confirm the applicable professional fee and third-party charges before the arrangement proceeds.
