What is an Intimate Funeral?
An Intimate Funeral is a small, simple cremation where a group of family and friends can be present in the chapel to pay their respects. This type of simple cremation costs significantly less than a traditional funeral. You will be welcomed inside the chapel by our funeral director and chapel attendant with music of your choice playing if you wish. You will then have a 30 minute chapel service to say a few words and witness the committal.
