What type of funeral service can I consider?
A Church/Chapel Service, followed by a burial or cremation service. This style of funeral begins with a service at a church or funeral chapel (or another place), followed by a procession to the cemetery or crematorium, where there is a final committal ceremony.
A Single Service Funeral
A single service funeral can take place at a funeral home chapel, church, crematorium chapel, at the graveside or at a special place, such as a park or community hall. This service incorporates a final committal process, and there is no procession to the cemetery or crematorium.
A Memorial Service
A memorial service takes place after a private burial or cremation at any of the places referred to above at a time determined by the family.
Civil Celebrants
Families who do not have an affiliation with a church, often choose a civil celebrant to conduct the service. A civil celebrant consults with the family to develop a personalised structure for the service, which he or she leads on the day.
