For people interested in affordable funerals in Cardiff, Ivor Thomas Funerals Ltd have just released a video reviewing the options of Direct Cremation vs Traditional Funeral.
This new video review can be viewed at this link: https://youtu.be/L_m6NYLxWsA.
This video covers the fact that social distancing guidance and government regulations now state that only immediate family should attend a funeral. It also shows that Direct Cremation is an alternative option where no funeral is held and mourners can grieve privately. Direct cremation is also the most affordable option.
A direct cremation is a contemporary choice for people who do not want a funeral service bound in tradition. This means it is free of the elements some people consider unnecessary when saying goodbye, such as a minister, procession, limousines and pallbearers. It does not, however, mean that any corners are cut or the care that one receive is in any way less then the usual high standards that Ivor Thomas Funeral Directors.
Many people choose to hold a separate memorial event or celebration of life to commemorate the life of the person who has sadly passed away.
When choosing a traditional funeral the funeral procession typically begins at the home of the person who has sadly passed away, though you may choose a different location if you wish. Your chosen Funeral Director will arrive in good time, ensuring you can view any flowers and floral tributes before leaving for the service.
Ivor Thomas will provide sufficient pallbearers and ensure they escort the coffin with dignity and respect. The Funeral Director will normally lead you into the church or crematorium, walking either in front or behind the coffin before it is placed upon a wooden platform known as a catafalque.
A traditional funeral ceremony can be held at a religious venue or at a crematorium which provides a chapel for this use.
The order of the funeral ceremony will be completely up to the grieving family (there may be time limits at the venue). The service may include funeral music, funeral hymns, prayers, funeral poems and readings from family.
Owner of Ivor Thomas Funerals Ltd, Mark Thomas says “During this time of uncertainty and distress, we’ve put together a special package just for this period of social distancing. We’ve kept the cost at a low figure as we think that you shouldn’t have to pay for a full funeral if you’re unable to have one””.
