A common question we get asked is:

'Can I plan a church service as well as a service at the crematorium?'

Yes you can, you can plan whatever you want. A service for a loved one can be held in a church followed by a committal at the crematorium.

Many of our families select their favourite hymns to accompany the service. Others have a song that means a lot to them or a piece of music they know they will be remembered by. 🤍
