Planning a funeral is a new experience for most and it can be difficult to know what the steps of planning and holding a memorial service are. Here’s a checklist of the steps to planning a funeral for a loved one or yourself.
Depending on family traditions, religions, or personal preferences, there are a range of funeral services available. Memorial services are becoming more personalised and we strive to cater to the wishes of those who have sadly passed.
As a funeral is a personal and extremely emotive experience, it’s important to find a suitable funeral director that understands and is able to follow your wishes. Through this difficult time, our funeral directors here at Kenna and Turner will value your preferences, while helping you select the most suitable arrangements for your loved one.
Our directors are professional, compassionate, and experienced in ensuring that every memorial is unique and special, while offering a supportive shoulder at this difficult time.
Both venue and date will be a personal preference. Some of our previous clients prefer a smaller, intimate memorial services, while others favour a religious funeral at a chapel. No matter your preference, we aim to set a convenient date, while providing enough time to make all funeral arrangements.
Funeral services can be held by a number of different people. The most common selections include: religious ministers, funeral directors, a loved one or a non-religious minister. Arrangements can be made for either of these options, to work with your selected venue.
Funerals are a personal and intimate time. They are a moment for loved ones or close friends to grieve and remember. Individualistic touches can offer a celebratory outlook of funeral services and can ease this difficult bereavement stage.
Elements which can customise a funeral service can be as follows:
As funerals are a time for loved ones and close friends to come together and celebrate life, it is important that funeral arrangements can be accessed. By creating an online funeral notice or obituary, you’ll have the ability to share the venue and funeral date, along with details on donations or flowers, across the likes of social media.
If you’re hoping to further celebrate the life of a loved one, a reception is a great way to bring family members and funeral attendees together. We highly recommend selecting a relaxed environment, close to your chosen service venue.
