Can I donate to dharity instead of buying a floral tribute ? If donations to charity are requested in lieu of flowers contact the funeral director who will accept and list the donations on your behalf and forward them to the charity of your choice. Are newspaper announcements important ? Newspaper announcements serve two useful objectives. To make sure that friends and relatives who wish to attend the funeral are aware of the day, time and place. Secondly to enable you to acknowledge floral tributes and messages of sympathy. What happens if I am a non-christian ? We live in an ethnically diverse society, and this diversity needs to be celebrated in funeral ceremonies as well as our everyday lives. Facilities for particular religious communities do vary from region to region. A professional funeral director will have the ability to discuss your funeral requirements and to have knowledge of the different alternatives available to the family regardless of the religion of the deceased or immediate family. Even if you require a 'Traditional Hindu funeral', the funeral director should discuss with you the exact requirements and not make anu assumptions about the family's wishes, as each funeral is a unique event. |
