COMMON FUNERAL MISCONCEPTIONS
At Remembrance Funerals, we’re often surprised by some of the misconceptions that people have about funerals and how to arrange them.
Our team are always here to discuss any queries that you may have about any of the services we provide.
Here are some common misconceptions:
1) Funerals cost a fortune – This is very common indeed. Our advice is to speak with us and discuss your wishes. We are always able to offer a service that reflects the budget, or suggest ways that can still incorporate key aspects but perhaps without the cost of doing it another way.
2) Family have to view the deceased – This is not the case and is a personal choice. Some people find great comfort and closure from viewing their loved one. For others, the thought of seeing their loved one laying in a coffin is too traumatic.
3) Embalming is compulsory – While there is definitely a benefit in terms of keeping the deceased stable in our care, embalming is not compulsory. We advise families on a case by case basis depending on the individual circumstances.
4) Are those the right ashes? – The cremation takes place in a single cremator, which is cleared after each cremation. This ensures that the cremated remains that we collect from the crematorium are definitely those of your loved one. Crematoriums are happy to talk through this in more detail and even show you around on request to put your mind at ease.
For any advice please contact us.
