Bespoke Funeral Service
In recent years we are seeing a change in the way funeral services are being conducted, but more so there is a real shift in the way we ‘feel’ about funerals. Historically, and in the early days since Lodge Brothers was founded in 1780, the ‘traditional’ funeral was a sombre affair with the local priest in attendance, the deceased kept at home until the burial, and mourners wearing black. Now in the 21st century, the more modern funeral approach is to celebrate the life of the deceased rather than mourn it.
Lodge Brothers are led by what is best for each individual client and can help facilitate a modern funeral in a unique and compelling way.
Once always a religious affair, more non-religious modern funerals take place today. We offer our own modern celebrant service that guarantees quality and a holistic approach to the whole modern funeral experience. This can involve memorial services taking place on a beach or in a sports club. Increasingly, in more modern funerals, humour is often injected into the eulogy to encourage friends and family to remember and laugh at fond memories and stories.
When creating your modern funeral with Lodge Brothers the opportunity for choice is vast. The options available to us now enable us to orchestrate every part of the funeral service allowing families to ensure the funeral is personalised. This can be achieved by choosing a colour scheme or theme for the day. A bespoke coffin design can be created using photographs or a favourite football team’s colours. All sorts of alternative funeral vehicles can be used like double decker buses, motorcycles, VW Camper Vans. There is also a switch from the traditional funeral hymns to more contemporary pop music to lift the spirits of the service.
It is this concept that is the basis for Lodge Brothers’ funeral director services. We offer a comprehensive range of products and services to give you the options you need to create a modern, respectable and dignified funeral service that truly represents the wishes and personality of the person who has passed away.
