Your unattended funeral wishes

What is an unattended funeral?

An unattended funeral is one where cremation or burial takes place without an attended funeral ceremony.

Your family may still arrange their own gathering or memorial separately.

For an unattended cremation, the crematorium and appointment are arranged by the funeral director rather than selected by the family.

Your personal choices still matter.

You can record your preferences about the coffin, clothing, belongings and what should happen afterwards.

Choose your coffin

Music and remembrance

There is no music as part of an unattended cremation or burial, but you may wish to choose music for your family to remember you by.
