There are many options and choices available for locations and styles of funeral services.

Funerals may be held in a family's local church, a cemetery, in a crematorium chapel or an outdoors setting.

Many families are choosing to hold the service at the Williams Funeral Services Serenity Chapel, where a service can be offered ensuring complete privacy in a relaxed peaceful atmosphere.

Families are encouraged to select their own music, poetry or readings while deciding whether a religious or non religious ceremony is more appropriate.

An important aspect of modern funerals is audio visual presentations displayed on a large screen. These personalised tributes are priceless keepsakes for family members and a wonderful addition to the content of the service. In consultation with family members our staff are able to help families construct a presentation that truly reflects a person's life.

When choosing a non-religious ceremony, our staff are able to compose and deliver a personal service where the order, content or style of service can be varied to suit the family's needs to make the service more meaningful.

• The time, location and style of the funeral

• If you wish to provide refreshments afterwards; which location?

• In which newspapers will the death and funeral be advertised?

• A coffin or casket?

• Burial or cremation?

• If you wish to view the deceased before the funeral, where and when will this take place?

Williams Funeral Services have a range of funeral services which can be tailored to suit the individual needs of the family.

To add special meaning to the funeral you can incorporate ideas and special touches that have significance to your family. These may include readings, music and the display of photos and memorabilia that reflect the life of the deceased.

Church or Chapel Service followed by a Burial service or private Cremation.
Beginning with a church or chapel service this style of funeral is followed by a procession to the cemetery. This is where a formal committal ceremony is conducted.

If such a service is to be followed by a cremation the service is conducted in it's entirety at the church or funeral chapel and the committal ceremony is included in the service. Family members may be present at the Crematorium and these details should be discussed with your funeral consultant.
