FAQs
What does a funeral consultant do?
A funeral consultant will not only assist you in the planning of a special celebration of life for your loved one, but support you and your family as much as they can in coping with your grief. They are not grief counsellors, but can help you with advice and if necessary point you in the direction of a counsel or if required.
Do I have to be invited to a funeral or can anyone attend?
Anyone can go to a funeral if it is advertised, if it is not advertised and the family hasn't contacted you directly, this means it's normally private and out of respect for the family, you should not attend.
Should children go to a funeral?
Children should be given a choice as to whether they attend a funeral or not. Sometimes toddlers or babies can be disruptive, but if they are of the immediate family it can sometimes be a welcome relief to have them present.
How can I help?
Depending on the circumstances, help can vary from cooking a meal, doing some shopping or just being a good listener; never stop them from expressing their feelings.
What is the purpose of a funeral?
Every civilisation recorded in history has practiced some form of ceremony in relation to the death of someone. We acknowledge every occasion in life including birthdays, christenings, graduations, weddings. One of the biggest hurdles we face is the loss of a loved one & the care & support from our family & friends is vitally important. It's not just the coming together to support the bereaved, but the acknowledgement & celebration of a very special individual who has had an impact on our lives.
Should I wear black clothes?
No, people no longer wear black to a funeral and it is no longer inappropriate for people to be dressed in colourful clothing. In fact, some people request guests attending to be dressed in colours.
Is there a cost to meet with a consultant to a pre-arrange a funeral?
No, we are more than happy to spend time with anyone who wishes to make a pre-arrangement.
I would like to say something, but what should I say?
Try not to avoid the grieving; it is important to identify yourself to the family. It is nice to acknowledge their loved one and maybe offer a lovely memory such as "Your mum was a lovely person and will be sadly missed".
Can I make a pre-arrangement before death is imminent?
Yes, at Wattle Range Funerals, one of our consultants is more than happy to help you make a pre-arrangement at any time.
What can I do prior to death occurring?
You can still contact a funeral home prior to death occurring. You can even put most details in place, in regards to selections and what type of service you and your family would like. Of course, the only thing that can't be organised is the date of the funeral.
