Traditional Funeral Services in Bridgwater
At Bridgwater Funerals, we understand that planning a funeral is a deeply personal and emotional experience. A traditional funeral provides an opportunity to say a heartfelt goodbye to your loved one, honouring their life in a way that reflects their wishes and your family's preferences.
What Is a Traditional Funeral?
A traditional funeral typically includes a service held at a church or crematorium, followed by a burial or cremation. Depending on your wishes, the service can feature a minister or civil celebrant of your choice. For non-religious ceremonies, Corrinne can conduct a personal service on your behalf, offering a meaningful way to celebrate your loved one's life.
These services often focus on tributes, poems, and music that hold significance for the family, but hymns and prayers can be included if desired. Whatever the format, a traditional funeral is a significant occasion to pay respects and share cherished memories.

Key Decisions to Make
When arranging a funeral, some early decisions include:

Once these decisions are made, we will liaise with all necessary parties to coordinate the day, date, and time of the service to meet your needs.
