As an internationally recognised lighting designer it was proposed if he may like to go up in lights. He looked amused, a good sign. So this is what we did.
A traditional funeral service offers a formal structure to honour the deceased and provide solace for mourners. Family and friends may gather for a viewing before the ceremony, which is typically led by a religious leader or funeral celebrant. Common elements include readings, eulogies, prayers, and hymns, depending on the deceased’s beliefs. The service might be held in a funeral home, place of worship, or cemetery chapel, with a procession to the burial site following.
Bridging tradition and modernity, a traditional funeral can be personalised with thoughtful details – see our Personnalisation page. A full Victorian-inspired theme can be implemented. Whether a unique coffin or relaxed floral arrangements, inherited traditions can be given a gentle modern touch.
Some find comfort and security in tradition. A proud and elegant horse-drawn procession pays timeless respect, with family and friends following in limousines or private cars. Ceremonies, whether religious or non-religious, can be held in churches or crematoriums. Incorporating personal tributes ensures the service reflects the unique life of the deceased, creating a truly personal farewell.
