Each
funeral is unique and personal and can be a celebration of life as well
as a farewell to a loved one. Often there has been little or no indication
from the deceased as to their choice of content for their Funeral Service.
In cases such as this we encourage family to participate and contribute
to the Service in the knowledge that these choices will be appropriate
to the deceased. The following suggestions are not intended to exclude
other choices but you might find them helpful as an aid in the choice
of music, hymns and verses etc.
