FuneralThere are many different options when it comes to funerals. Some people choose a natural burial, returning to the earth in one of the purest and most natural ways, perhaps wrapped in linen or placed within a wicker coffin. Others prefer a more traditional funeral with a black hearse, a formal service, and those around them gathering to mourn their loss. Direct cremation is also an option, where there is no service or ceremony, and the ashes are simply returned afterwards. Some people choose this for its simplicity, while others do so because of cost.

Choice'sThere are many different additional options available when arranging a funeral. As standard, here at Life Funerals we create an online tribute page in memory of the person who has died. This can also be linked to a particular charity that may have been close to somebody's heart. It provides a place where family and friends can come together to honour a life, share memories, Other optional choices can include flowers, obituary notices, stationery, and professionally printed order of service booklets. Some families also choose small keepsakes for those attending the funeral, such as packets of seeds, sweets, remembrance tokens, or a favourite photograph displayed on top of the coffin.
Page 9Ashes There are many different options when it comes to ashes and what can be done with them afterwards. Ashes can be turned into keepsakes, such as jewellery, photo frames, pieces of artwork, or even candle holders that can be lit on special anniversaries or simply during moments of remembrance.
In SummaryI've always liked things done properly. As a craftsman, I believed in keeping things simple, honest, and made with care, and that is how I would like my funeral to be. I have chosen an attended cremation on the Isle of Wight where family and friends can come together to remember me, share stories, and celebrate my life. I do not want anything overly formal or heavily religious...just something warm, relaxed, and genuine.
