Making The Arrangements
We at Traditional Funerals are on call 24 hours a day. When death occurs we suggest you contact us immediately and we will begin to take care of all the details involved. This can give you a sense of relief that our services have begun and allows you the time to mourn your loss.
We will:
- Obtain the necessary certificated ensuring the funeral may proceed with minimum delay.
- Attend to even the smallest of details to ensure that your wishes are carried out. i.e. selection of flowers, wording of newspaper notice (if required) etc.
- Contact clergy or celebrant regarding the time, venue and type of service.
If the wishes of the deceased are known beforehand, arrangements are carried out accordingly.. Traditional Funerals owns and operates its own crematorium, Moreton Bay Regional Crematorium at Burpengary.
With the crematorium at this site, should you desire to be cremated (as so many Australians are choosing to do) you can be confident in the knowledge that our service is both comprehensive and all inclusive. Naturally, should families wish, we can arrange for cremation services to be held at any public crematorium.
For those families who wish to choose burial, Traditional Funerals can provide guidance with a wide range of cemetery options. This means that Traditional Funerals is the only party with whom you have to plan and organise your service.
Viewing Of The Deceased
If a viewing is requested, we will arrange a time suitable to you, your relatives and friends to visit the deceased, together or in private. Our facilities provide for small or large groups wishing to pay their last respects to the deceased.
Families sometimes request the deceased be dressed in some personal clothing and that some mementos be placed with them. We will see that those wishes are carried out as requested.
