On the day of the Full Cremation Funeral Service.
The Hearse Cortege with Family Limousine.
The Funeral Director, Hearse and family limousine will arrive to the loved ones residence to commence the hearse cortege to the Cemetery Chapel. The Coffin will be in the hearse with a casket spray and any personal memorabilia that the family would like to be displayed. This may include a framed photograph, additional flowers and personal items.
The Hearse cortege and family will then depart the residence and make their way to the Cemetery Chapel.
Once inside the cemetery gates, the hearse will cortege will stop. Family and friends attending the funeral service will have already gathered at this location.
Arriving to the Cemetery
At this time your funeral director will lodge the legal documents required for the funeral and the cremation service with officials from the Metropolitan Cemeteries Board office. This will take about 5-10 minutes.
The principal mourners, the family, will take their positions if pallbearing, or be composed as to their wishes. If family or friends are the pallbearers they will be positioned each side of the hearse. Then a short walking procession to the cemetery chapel will begin.
When the hearse and family commences the slow procession to the chapel, the mourners and family and friends will walk behind the hearse and family, until the entrance to the cemetery chapel has been reached.
Entering the Cemetery Chapel
The Mayfair funeral attendants will then open the doors to the Chapel, and then invite the mourners, family and friends into the chapel to be seated. The coffin will be taken from the hearse and placed on a chapel trolley. Candles, floral tributes, photographs and personal items will be placed carefully by the Mayfair funeral attendants to create an elegant display.
The family or friends who will be pallbearing may choose to carry the coffin into the chapel and place the coffin on the catafalque; or they may wish to hold the handles of the coffin and wheel it inside the chapel to the catafalque using the special chapel trolley.
The coffin is then placed on the catafalque and the family will be seated in the front rows of the chapel for the service to commence.
The Funeral Service Will Begin
Your Mayfair funeral director and staff will confirm the placement of the coffin is correct and then bow, as a sign of respect to the loved one. The funeral civil celebrant / speaker will then welcome family and friends to this funeral service. Introduce themselves to attendees and the funeral service will commence.
Every funeral service is unique as it is planned and arranged to acknowledge and honour our loved ones specifically to them. However, here is an example of how you may like the order of service for the funeral service you are arranging to be.
