The traditional funeral service has evolved over the centuries, but even today the fundamental components remain unaltered. Adhering to these time-honoured traditions, Sussex Funeral Services is able to offer a traditional funeral service that provides the familiar, comforting ceremonies that follow the funeral etiquette long upheld in our society.
These traditional ceremonies may include a formal hearse procession that accompanies your loved one to their final resting place. They may also include choosing a minister to officiate a traditional religious service, as well as performing the readings and prayers chosen by the loved one’s family.
A traditional service may also be held formally at the loved one’s parish church before the committal is held at the chosen cemetery or crematorium. Alternately, the entire service may be performed at the cemetery or the crematorium itself, in accordance to the wishes of the family. Religious customs may or may not be involved in the funeral arrangements – this is entirely dependent on the family’s desires.
Even within a formal, traditional funeral, there are many choices available to the family arranging the ceremony, and the above represent only a handful of the available options. Sussex Funeral Services is committed to tailoring the funeral ceremony to the family’s wishes, and will help you arrange a traditional funeral to your personal requirements.
Above all, Sussex Funeral Services will give you choice within a caring, compassionate, and professional atmosphere, preserving the utmost respect for the deceased and their family.
