What Is A Traditional Funeral?

As your local family funeral director, we understand the importance of a dignified and meaningful farewell. A traditional funeral is a well-established way to honour a loved one, providing family and friends the opportunity to come together in remembrance and support.

A traditional funeral typically takes place at a religious venue or a crematorium chapel. They often follow a structured format, incorporating elements such as hymns, readings, eulogies and music to reflect the life of the person who has passed.

What Makes A Traditional Funeral Different?

The key distinctions between a traditional funeral and a simple funeral include:

  • Preparation, dressing and viewing of the deceased – Families have the option to see their loved one in our chapel of rest before the funeral.
  • A higher quality coffin – Suitable for viewing a loved one in, which bears six gold effect premium handles.
  • Family travel arrangements – Close family members may travel in a funeral limousine following the hearse.

Personalising A Traditional Funeral

Many families choose to add personal touches to reflect their loved one’s life and personality.

These may include:

  • A bespoke hearse – Such as a horse-drawn carriage, vintage hearse or a themed vehicle.
  • Additional floral tributes – Custom flower arrangements for the funeral service.
  • A photo slideshow or video tribute – A visual celebration of special memories.
  • Themed funeral elements – Incorporating colours, music or decorations that were significant to the deceased.
