Things to consider for a burial ceremony

Losing a loved one can be a difficult and emotional time, and our goal is to provide you with the information and support you need to create a meaningful and memorable tribute for your loved one. When planning a burial there are a number of things to consider.

01

Lead time

If you have decided on a cremation let your funeral director know as soon as possible so they can contact the local crematorium to arrange the cremation date.

02

Viewing

For many a viewing is important as it provides the opportunity to say last goodbyes to a loved one. This generally takes place at the funeral home prior to the cremation.

03

Service Location

As with a burial you will need to decide on where to hold the service; the funeral home chapel, a church, the crematorium chapel or a place such as a garden or farm that was meaningful to your loved one.

04

Attendees

Will there be a gathering of friends and family following the burial?

05

Streaming

Do you need streaming of the service for relatives and friends who cannot attend in person? We can broadcast the service online, allowing those who can't physically be there to join in virtually and be a part of the memorial experience.

06

Music

Selecting funeral music is a deeply personal choice, often reflecting the individual's unique tastes and experiences. Including favourite tracks or artists can be a meaningful way to celebrate their life and provide comfort to those in attendance, fostering a sense of connection and remembrance.

07

Photo Tributes

Would you like to create a digital photo tribute or slideshow during the service? Including cherished photos and moments can help attendees reminisce and find solace in the memories shared.

08

Leaflets

Considering a keepsake memento leaflet for the funeral service is a thoughtful addition, providing attendees with a tangible token to take home.

Friendly feedback from our visitors

We as a family cannot recommend Darren and his team more highly. They were exceptional, both in the manner in which they assisted us during this devastating time but also in the way they put the service together with St Paul's. Highly recommend.

The team at Len Russell Funerals were incredibly professional and helpful. They worked hard to create a perfect memorial for my wife, and connect us with a video service who helped our distant family members be present.

The unfortunate process of arranging my mother's funeral and cremation was made stress free and simple due to the great services received by staff. We were able to organise everything in one meeting that suited all our needs so we could focus on other aspects, organising family from out of area etc. Highly Recommended by the Brighton Family of Yamanto.

We have been very impressed with the personal and considerate nature of Len Russell Funerals. It's a true testament to their experience and probably why they're still the longest run family owned funeral home in Ipswich. Thankyou!!!
