It can be an overwhelming experience planning a funeral, and you may not be familiar with the process or know where to start.

Here are some of the key decisions that will need to be considered.
  • Would you like a burial or cremation?
  • Who will be conducting the service? you may like to have a civil celebrant, religious clergy or even a family member or friend.
  • The type of coffin you would like
  • Service location
