The Chapel Service

At a glance: The Chapel Service
- We will bring your loved one into our care, using specialist vehicles and equipment, where they will then rest in a climate-controlled mortuary
- We will dress your loved one in a suitable basic gown and follow any instructions regarding hair and makeup
- Your funeral arranger will guide you through the planning process, step by step, offering support every step of the way
- They will also liaise with all necessary third parties and manage all documentation and external payments on your behalf
- We will create a complimentary online Funeral Notice, celebrating the life of your loved one and providing details of the service
- Your loved one will be transported to the crematorium with dignity and respect in a specialised funeral vehicle
- For an additional cost, you can choose from our wide range of urns and caskets for your loved one’s ashes
Some Important Things to Consider:
- There will be no embalming service offered
- You will not be able to visit your loved one before the cremation
- We will only be able to host the service at our chosen chapel
- There will be limited flexibility on the date and time of the service; the service will take place at our chapel as soon as possible
- The cremation will be unattended and will take place at one of our selected local crematoriums at a later date
