What to Expect on the Day
On the Day of the Funeral
Throughout the entirety of the funeral process, we stand by your side, offering unwavering support and guidance every step of the way. From the funeral procession to the committal service and wake, our dedicated team is here to ensure that every detail is handled with care and compassion.
Before the day of the funeral
Our team will work closely with you to understand your wishes and preferences. Whether it's selecting a fitting tribute or fulfilling any final requests, we are committed to honouring your loved one's memory in a meaningful way.
On the day of the funeral
Our Funeral Directors take charge of all necessary preparations to ensure a smooth and punctual service. Our fleet of luxury limousines stands ready to transport your family and friends, while your loved one is meticulously prepared according to your specifications before being transferred to one of our top-quality hearses. A limousine will seat 7 people and on occasions by family request, we can carry two family members in the hearse to accompany their loved on the journey. Any floral tributes, flowers, or portraits chosen for the funeral will be carefully placed inside the hearse.
As the funeral procession sets off, typically beginning from the residence of the deceased, our Funeral Directors meticulously oversee all routes and ensure an ample number of pallbearers are available to convey the coffin with utmost respect. Should you have any specific requests regarding the route or stops at significant landmarks, we strive to accommodate them to the best of our ability.
Arrival at the Venue
Upon arrival at the chosen venue, whether it be a church or crematorium, your Funeral Director will have meticulously arranged all aspects of the service, including any requested music and order of service sheets. They will liaise with the service conductor and chapel attendants to guarantee a seamless experience for you and your guests. Guiding you into the venue, our Funeral Director ensures that all attendees are comfortably seated before proceeding with the funeral service. Should you opt for a Committal service at the same or a different location, depending on the choice of burial or cremation, your Funeral Director remains on hand to offer guidance and support.
Collaboration with the family
With collaboration with the family we can organise visual tributes and live streaming of the service at selected Crematorium. The Live Stream also comes with a 7 day on demand service.
Following the service, we can provide you with a list of local venues for a wake or reception, accompanying you to your chosen location if desired.
In the days following the funeral, we extend our support to ensure that everything proceeded smoothly. Whether it's advice on collecting ashes, or arranging for the return or placement of flowers and wreaths, at J Mason & Son Funeral Directors we're here to assist you every step of the way.
