As Traditional As You Please

Our most popular package for a stylish farewell.

What Is A Traditional Funeral?

The possibilities around how you can say farewell to your loved one has evolved over the years; however Traditional Funerals are still the most well-known (hence their name) and one of our most popular packages. A Traditional Funeral, as you would expect, includes all the typical services that you would imagine a funeral director to provide. 

Planning A Traditional Funeral

The key elements of a Traditional Funeral are the coffin, the deceased transportation, family transportation and the service. Typically you can expect an oak veneer coffin, a hearse, a limousine and a celebrant led service at the crematorium.

There is a real beauty bound in tradition and it is something we have a lot of respect for, 

but even with traditional, you can still add your own personal touch. 

The most personalised part of the funeral is the service itself, and it can only be as good as the information provided. So make the most of your celebrant and share as much as you can. 

Personal touches can be added with things like floral tributes, musical choices, keepsakes, charitable donations and dress codes. 

You can also exchange or upgrade any of the elements for example you could upgrade the oak veneer coffin for one of our stunning wicker coffins decorated with a floral garland.
