Can't believe I'm not going to see you again old pal.I don't think I'll be able to go into Boots again, your "weel kent face" is going to be such a miss.You were so brave, every time I phoned and asked how you were you'd say "I'm fine" and you even managed to sound fine and were more concerned about what I was doing.I wish you had been able to use that passport.Remember when you were drawing the back end of a horse in Rob Brown's artclass ?He said " what are you doing Janette?" and you said "just arsing about!"I hope you still are!x

Attending a funeral FAQs

View all FAQs >

What should I wear?

We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.

How long does a service last?

Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.

Where should I sit?

Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.

Where should I send flowers?

Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
