Held on the day of the cremation or burial with the ceremony held at the crematorium or graveside.
Some families prefer to have a ceremony away from the Crematorium or Burial Ground. These can be held anywhere and are much more of a full memorial but can have the coffin in place if wanted.
After this ceremony the coffin can be taken for either a direct cremation with no one in attendance or a much smaller, private ceremony at the crematorium or graveside.
Memorials can be held on a later date with the ashes in place if wanted. These can be a longer and fuller ceremony and an opportunity to have a larger amount of people come together in a more personal space without time pressures. These can be held in any venue and followed by refreshments.
At a later date families may want a short ceremony when ashes are either scattered or buried. These are held at the final resting place of their loved one.
