Choices you will need to consider when arranging a funeral are:

• Is burial or cremation preferred - if burial, does the family already own a grave?
• Venue - church followed by crematorium/cemetery, or single service only?
• Type of service - religious / celebrant.
• Transportation needs - for family and/or friends.
• Will there be a viewing and is embalming required - for presentation and sanitisation.
• Has the deceased left written information - has a pre-paid arrangement been put in place?
• Are there any specific requests left by the deceased - consider music, flowers etc.
• After funeral gathering - home or other venue, catering.
