Independent Funerals

It is often wrongly assumed that funerals can only be carried out with the use of a funeral director, however some people prefer to organise funerals themselves.  This is possible for both burials and cremations, such funerals are referred to as Independent.

There are varying reasons why people prefer not to use a funeral director.  They may feel that passing the body of a loved one to strangers is wrong.  Some feel that personally organising a funeral is their final tribute to the deceased person.  Others may simply wish to save money by doing everything themselves or may have used a funeral director on a previous occasion and found the experience unsatisfactory.  Some may feel that funerals arranged with a funeral director are routine and processed, and some may desire an innovative and different approach.  It is your right to make the decision without a reason.
