Visiting the deceased

The decision of whether to visit the deceased is obviously yours and yours alone.

This is one aspect of the funeral where we can’t really advise you. But, over the years, we’ve found that many people take genuine comfort from seeing the deceased at rest and having some final time together.

Everyone is unique, so there will be no pressure from us to visit – this is your decision and we have a private remembrance rooms (sometimes called ”Chapel of Rest”) available in our Craven facilities  – or you can have your loved one at home, if you prefer. We’re always happy to fit in with your arrangements.

If you choose to use our remembrance room, why not display a photograph or a small selection of things that reflect the life of your loved one? This is just another way that you can help personalise your funeral with us.
