Small Family Farewells
'No funeral' options to help farewell your person.
For many families, there is a need to acknowledge the passing of their loved one, but sometimes budget and/or large gatherings at funerals may be causing concern.
With a Small Family Farewell, (n.b. this is not a 'funeral service') you can still pay your respects – by gathering your immediate family together in our viewing room, to:
-
spend time with your deceased family member,
-
place sentimental items in the coffin,
-
reflect on a life lived with music and stories, and
-
provide a dignified send off for your loved one.
Following this, you and your family may choose to follow our hearse to Bunurong or Springvale Crematorium or cemetery of your choice*, where we will stop in the gardens of the cemetery grounds for you to say final farewells.
We recently lost our loving husband and father.
We entrusted the arrangements to Mornington Peninsula Funerals and how pleased we were with the farewell we were able to have.
