Type of Funeral
Cremation
Cremation is a widely chosen option among families, and at Mitchell's Funeral Services, we provide flexible arrangements to suit your preferences. Whether you opt for a service at a crematorium chapel, a church, or another suitable venue, we are committed to honouring your loved one's memory in a meaningful way. Our team can assist in arranging for a suitable officiant, whether religious or non-religious. Guests have the opportunity to gather outside or take their seats in the chapel before the coffin arrives. Personal touches such as hymns, songs, eulogies, and readings can be incorporated as desired. After the service, you can choose to close the crematorium curtain or leave it open for final respects as you exit. We understand that deciding what to do with your loved one's ashes can be deeply personal, and we offer guidance and support to help you consider your options.
Burial
Planning a burial involves emotional considerations, and our goal is to provide compassionate support throughout the process. Whether you prefer a cemetery, graveyard, or natural burial ground, along with a service in a church or chapel, we are here to assist in organizing a service that reflects your wishes and beliefs. Our team is committed to tailoring the funeral to meet your individual preferences, whether you envision a formal or informal ceremony, or a religious or non-religious service. We understand the challenges of the burial process and are available to address any questions or concerns you may have.
Green Funerals
For those interested in eco-friendly options, we offer arrangements at natural burial grounds. These ceremonies can incorporate 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 or burials provide a simpler and more affordable option for those facing budget constraints or seeking a more private farewell. This choice involves a direct cremation or burial process without a formal service and is typically unattended. While there is no formal gathering, you can still arrange a private memorial service or celebration of life before or after the cremation to honour your loved one's memory. We can assist you in determining if an unattended cremation is the right choice and provide further information to help you plan accordingly.
