Where to have a funeral

Whilst most people choose to hold a funeral at a crematorium or burial ground, there are other alternatives you might like to think about.

  • A direct cremation, followed by a ceremony to scatter or bury the ashes

  • A funeral service at an outside venue or an alternative building

You could also consider:

  • Pre-planning your service alongside the practical aspects of your funeral

  • A ‘Living ceremony of life’. When someone is facing death and is still well enough, this

    occasion allows you to have a time with friends and family, sharing stories and memories to

    celebrate your life
