Types of Funeral
Types of Funeral Services by Sue Gibbons
Cremations
Cremation is a popular choice for many families, and at Sue Gibbons Funeral Services, we offer flexible options to suit your preferences. Whether you prefer a service at the crematorium chapel, a church, or another venue, we are dedicated to honouring your loved one's memory. We can arrange for a suitable officiant, whether religious or non-religious. Guests may gather outside or be seated in the chapel before the coffin arrives. Personal touches such as hymns, songs, eulogies, and readings can be incorporated. After the service, you can choose to close the crematorium curtain or leave it open for final respects. We offer guidance and support in deciding what to do with your loved one's ashes.
Burials
Planning a burial involves emotional considerations, and we provide compassionate support throughout the process. Whether you prefer a cemetery, graveyard, or natural burial ground, with or without a service in a church or chapel, we are here to assist. Our team tailors the funeral to meet your individual preferences, whether formal or informal, religious or non-religious. We address any questions or concerns you may have to make this process as smooth as possible.
Green Funerals
For those interested in eco-friendly options, we offer arrangements for natural burial grounds. These ceremonies can include faith-based elements and feature environmentally friendly coffin and ashes casket choices. A committal ceremony at the graveside allows for a meaningful farewell, where flowers can be placed in tribute.
Unattended Services
Unattended cremations provide a simpler and more affordable option for those on a budget or seeking a private farewell. This involves a direct cremation process without a formal service and is typically unattended. You can still arrange a private memorial service or celebration of life before or after the cremation. We can help you determine if this option is right for you and provide further information.
