Do We Need a Funeral? | Understanding Your Options

The funeral serves a number of purposes,
i) The need to deal with our physical dead
ii) The funeral provides time and space to honour and commemorate a life. A funeral gives you the space to grieve, to come together with friends and family providing each other with strength and comfort. At Thereafter we believe a ‘good’ funeral provides a healthy step in the process of grief as you begin to adjust to living with loss.
iii) Grief caused by a death is a raw and confusing emotional space. On a very practical level, the process of arranging a funeral can be helpful in giving you structure and purpose when you’re emotionally overloaded.

There are no rules the funeral should take

The funeral can take a number of forms. It does not have to take place in a cemetery or crematorium, you do have choices. A Private Goodbye provides a simple, cost effective solution.
If you prefer to give yourself time, explore your options to see if a Last Supper or Memorial Gathering is more fitting for you.

If you wish to discuss your options please contact one of our team who will talk and guide you through to find the best solution for you.
