Service Options
Funerals are made up of a number of components, the purpose of which is to enhance your plans and develop a more meaningful funeral experience unique to the individual.
Candle Lighting
Candles and other types of lights have been used for thousands of years and have been associated with funerals for almost as long. Almost every culture, race and religion has used candlelight to connect with the divine and to help the departed leave this world for the next.
The word “funeral” was derived from the Latin word “funus” which means “torch”. Early Romans believed that lights were needed at funerals to guide the departed through the darkness to the eternal light that was waiting for them.
These days, the lighting of candles during a service is more symbolic than practical, but still serves as a powerful and moving tribute to the person who’s passed. Some families choose to light a single candle to represent the person whose life they are celebrating, while others choose to light multiple candles in a beautiful display of light and remembrance.
Traditional Funerals can work with you to arrange a personalised candle tribute to allow you to express yourself in a way that will last in the memory of everyone who attends.
