Funeral directors offer more than just planning when a loved one passes. You can also lean on them for support. One of the great benefits of using our funeral directors in Newport is that they offer compassion and guidance through the grieving period. We deal with matters sensitively and help you to make the difficult decisions.
It goes without saying that you might have some questions about the process. At Arthur Peakes Funeral Directors, we encourage questions and communication so that you can celebrate the life of your loved one exactly as you wish. If you’re not sure which questions you should be asking, take a look at our short guide. We’ve put together a list of the most common questions that we hear, and why you also might want to ask them.
What Is The Schedule?
Its important to understand and plan the expected time frame with your funeral director. Usually there will be a very organised process. This can be tailored to your preferences. For example, most funerals include:
- Care of the body before the ceremony
- An opportunity to visit them and pay final respects
- Transportation of the deceased before and after the ceremony
- The ceremony
- The wake, or other event after the funeral
To ensure the day is as stress-free as possible, make sure you know the time and order of each part of the funeral. This means that you won’t have any unexpected surprises on the day.
What Can The Funeral Director Do for You?
Don’t be afraid to ask your funeral director what services they can offer you. At Arthur Peake, we pride ourselves on a compassionate service that goes above and beyond, to help you in your time of need. A good funeral director will have no reasonable request that cannot be accommodated.
Make sure to ask your funeral director anything and everything that is on your mind. We’re here so that you don’t have to go through this alone. Our team are here to help, so no matter what your request is, we’ll do our very best to fulfil it. If your loved one had a slightly unusual (but reasonable) request for their funeral, don’t shy away from asking for it. It’s in everyone’s best interests to ensure that the departed gets the send off that they want.
How Much Will The Funeral Cost?
If there wasn’t a pre-paid funeral plan before the time of passing, it’s important that your funeral director understands your budget and makes sure there are no unexpected bills.
