Understanding this option

A familiar and lasting farewell

A traditional burial brings family and friends together for a funeral service before travelling to the cemetery for the burial.

The service can reflect cultural, religious and personal traditions, with choices such as music, readings, flowers, a celebrant or clergy and a viewing discussed during the arrangement.

Final Embrace Funerals can assist with the coffin or casket, service planning, cemetery coordination, paperwork and the journey to the place of burial.
