Once a decision about which cemetery to use has been made, your Simplicity funeral director will ask you if you want any of the following:
Viewings
A viewing is where your loved one is dressed and presented for family and friends to privately pay their respects and say their final goodbyes before the funeral service takes place.
Viewings are normal in many cultures and can be very helpful in coping with grief.
Funeral Services
Funeral services have evolved to include more options for honouring and celebrating lives. Simplicity Funerals has led this trend and we respect and honour all reasonable requests.
Funeral services can be secular or religious, modern or traditional, and also in keeping with a cultural background.
It is not uncommon for our funeral directors to receive special requests. Some are simple, like including a favourite hymn or scripture into the service, but they can also be more personal, like having a horse drawn hearse or a set of golf clubs set up beside the casket or coffin.
Whatever personal touches you request, Simplicity will honour and respect every reasonable wish.
Graveside services
This is a service held at the graveside. It can be after the funeral service, or used as the venue for the funeral service.
Family gatherings
After a funeral service it is common for a family gathering or ‘wake’ to be held. It can be simple, or you might prefer something more special.
Simplicity Funerals can help take away some of the stress of organising a family gathering that meets expectations yet remains affordable. Many of our funeral homes have after-funeral catering available which make perfect venues for this kind of gathering.
