Dear Pat and Christine,I was very sorry to learn of your father's death just before Christmas. Stanley was my father's boss and they were great friends for many years. He was kind enough to speak at my father's funeral and also to keep in touch with my mother Helen after Dad died in 2005. Mum very much appreciated all his kindness towards her and the lunch outings he took her on. Unfortunately Mum developed dementia and died in November.I hope that you get this message as I have no other way of contacting you.You are all in our thoughts.With warmest best wishes,Stephanie
Attending a funeral FAQs
What should I wear?
We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.
How long does a service last?
Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.
Where should I sit?
Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.
Where should I send flowers?
Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
