Subsequently, families are empowered to choose how to handle the ashes, aligning with the wishes of the deceased.
The funeral service itself can be held either at a conventional crematorium or at a venue selected by the family, which might deviate from traditional norms.
Conversely, opting for a direct cremation provides a more straightforward approach, bypassing formal services or attendance altogether.
Each crematorium features a chapel, serving as a venue for both religious and non-religious ceremonies. Inside, you’ll find a raised platform called a catafalque for the coffin and rows of seating. A lectern is placed at the front for speakers or officiants.
The duration of the service varies based on the crematorium’s policies, ranging from 20 to 40 minutes. If needed, you can extend the service by booking a double slot for an extra fee.
After the service, attendees often gather on the flower terrace to view floral tributes for about 10 to 15 minutes before heading to the funeral reception.
We offer four distinct types of cremation services, each tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of our clients.
