Arranging a Funeral

When arranging a funeral, aspects that may need to be considered include:

• Cremation or burial
• Day, time and venue of service
• Who should lead the service – a celebrant, clergy or a family member or friend
• Choice of casket or coffin
• Do you wish to conduct a viewing?
• Who will be the pallbearers?
• What kind of music will you want?
• Who will deliver and prepare the eulogy?
• Flower arrangements/tributes at the service
• Will a death notice be required and in which paper should it appear?
• Will donations be made in honour of your loved one?
• Any other personalised items that you would like to be part of the service?
