Services can be conducted by clergy, a civil celebrant or a family member or friend.

The life of a loved one can be celebrated in a variety of ways. Many people are involved in a Church community, and will choose to have the service there. Others may prefer to use a funeral director’s or a crematorium chapel.

People are also choosing to have the service at some other special place, such as the family home, a park or a community hall or other facility. Campfire area, racing track, family wine cellar, beach side, out on a boat etc. A service can be held practically anywhere.

Your funeral director can provided advice and assist with permission for a location if required.

The number of people expected to attend is often an important consideration when choosing a venue for a funeral.
