Choosing the correct funeral for your loved one
Here at Bowley & Sons Funeral Directors we understand that a funeral should reflect the life and wishes of your deceased loved one and their family. We can organise all manner of funerals including traditional services right through to green ceremonies. Whatever your culture or belief, we will ensure that the day is memorable and special. If you are unsure as to which type of funeral may be best suited to your wishes, we have provided further information below:
Cremations
Whether you would prefer for the whole service to take place at the crematorium or would like to utilise a different venue first, we can accommodate. We are also happy to explain the cremation process and the time restrictions that this will involve - please give us a call to discuss.
Burials
Many people want to make use of a family grave, while some would prefer to look for a new one. Either way, we are able to offer expert and helpful advice regarding what is available. We can also help choose a location and a coffin that is appropriate for this.
Religious Services
If your loved one had religious or cultural beliefs, we can tailor their funeral service to accommodate these. The service can be carried out by a minister of any religion if preferred. We also arrange funerals for people with no religious beliefs where a celebrant or a member of your family will lead the service.
personalised according to your wishes
Whatever you desire for your loved one's funeral, we will make it happen. You may wish to personalise your service with tributes, poems, songs, photos, or anything else. Many people also choose to reflect the life of the deceased through the choice of coffin, flowers, vehicle and much more.
If needed, we can organise and arrange almost all aspects of the funeral service including coffins, vehicles horse drawn carriages, newspaper announcements and orders of service. However, we will also understand if you would prefer to take the lead when it comes to the arrangements - simply let us know how we can help, and this is what we will do.
We understand that planning a funeral is a reflection of an extremely difficult time, so we offer a 24/7 service to our clients, who we like to think of as our friends. We can also offer advice and support regarding what to do when someone dies - call us at any time on 07704 080036.
