When it comes time to arranging a funeral, Far Northern Funerals understands that it's not just about making the formal arrangement but that traditions, cultures and personal choices MUST play an important part.
To give you an idea of some of the questions that you will be asked and the decisions you will need make when arranging a funeral:
* The day, time and venue of the service
* Type of service: eg: Church, Graveside, Chapel * Choice of burial or cremation
* Choosing a member of the clergy or a celebrant to conduct the service
* If a viewing is wanted? If so, what clothes, personal affects would be provided?
* Would a memorial book be needed?
* Choosing the right casket or coffin
* Choosing pallbearers. Who will carry the casket?
* What kind of music would you like to be played?
* Preparing a eulogy?
* What Flower Arrangements would be appropriate or Special requests such as balloons, butterflies etc
* Would you like to arrange for people to be able to make donations to a particular charity in honour of the person?
* Would you like to place a notice in a paper? Which paper?
* What special things can be done to personalise the ceremony?
* Should there be a wake after the funeral? Will I need assistance with catering?
* What budget is available?
We will guide you through this process assisting you with your decision making and making it as easy as possible for you.
