Funeral Arrangements

Forde’s Funeral Home will assist you with every aspect of the funeral services you wish for your loved one. This is a time for a family to reflect on the life of the deceased; we will assist, co-ordinate and oversee all aspects of the funeral services you wish to have in place. We have vast experience in religious, civil and humanist funeral services; each funeral is unique to the individual and we strive to achieve the funeral service which is both meaningful and personal to each family.

After you make the initial contact with us, we will endeavour to provide you and the deceased with a dignified and personal service. We will liaise with you throughout the services and will co-ordinate and oversee all of the funeral arrangements.

On your behalf, we will liaise with the following:

Hospital, Nursing Home or Doctor

We will ensure that all legal requirements have been met in order for us to remove deceased from their place of death.

Music

We can arrange soloist, organist, choir, harpist or string quartet. A family member is usually nominated to liaise with musicians once booked – they will discuss your preferences and make suggestions to make the service personal to you.

Clergy

We will arrange times for services as required.

Cemetery / Crematoria

We will arrange times and all the necessary paperwork.

Press

We will assist you in wording for obituary notice.

Flowers

We can arrange fresh flowers or tributes for you. We also carry a wide selection of silk flowers in stock.
