Can I visit my loved one at rest?

Arranging a funeral

flowers-by-a-coffin

Yes, you can visit your loved one at rest if this is something you feel would bring comfort. Many families find it helps them say goodbye and spend some final quiet moments together, but the decision is entirely personal.

Everyone experiences grief differently, and there is no right or wrong choice. Some people take comfort in visiting their loved one, while others prefer to remember them as they were. There will never be any pressure from us to make a visit.

We offer private remembrance rooms, sometimes known as a Chapel of Rest, where family and friends can spend time with their loved one in a peaceful and dignified setting. You may also choose to display photographs or personal items that reflect their life, interests and memories.

In some circumstances, you may prefer to have your loved one rest at home before the funeral. Our team can discuss the available options and help make arrangements that feel right for you and your family.

We are always happy to personalise arrangements to create a meaningful and proper farewell. For more information, please contact our 24-hour team on (0151) 228 3900.
