Funeral arrangements

Personalised Funeral

A personalised funeral gives your family room to remember someone through the things that mattered to them. Embrace begins with a conversation about their wishes, beliefs and the details you would like to include.

How Embrace can help

A theme with meaning

Build the setting around a favourite interest, a shared memory or another part of your loved one’s life. The team can help with decorations and tributes.

Ceremony and schedule

Discuss how many days to set aside and which religious or cultural customs, if any, to include. Your funeral director oversees the arrangements on the day.

Memories to share

Options include a photo display, a memorial video, a book of memories or a keepsake for family and friends.

What to discuss with your family

  • Think about the customs or personal touches that matter most to your family.
  • Let the team know early if you are considering a custom casket, as it needs advance notice.
  • Discuss your preferences for burial or cremation and what you would like to do with the ashes.

You can talk through your preferences in advance and ask Embrace to record them for your family.
