Where Will the Service Be?

Where the funeral service is held is an important aspect of funeral planning. You may choose to use our chapel, or if the person who has died was a member of a religious denomination, often the service is held in their local church.

A funeral service can also be held in the family home or any other setting that has significance for the person who has died and their family.

When arranging a large funeral, families sometimes choose another venue appropriate to the large number of people likely to attend.

A catering lounge for a ‘cup of tea’ is also seen as an important feature when selecting a venue. A funeral director will be happy to discuss suitable options for you to consider.
