The formal ceremony is of little value or comfort if you are left with the feeling that something, no matter what, has been left out.

Whilst this may seem unlikely at this time with all the different things that seemingly need to be done, remember there is no need to hurry anything, a hasty decision now may lead to regrets for a long time to come.

When in a quiet moment you have time to reflect on the arrangements that you have made, keep a pencil and paper close at hand, because there are bound to be questions which will need an answer, points which may have been overlooked, such as the special meaning shared between you as to the use of a particular road or view, which could easily be worked into the journey to the Cemetery, Crematorium or Church. You may have a special memento or treasured item of special meaning that you would like placed in the coffin, perhaps even clothing of special significance which only you know about.

No matter what the question or query make sure you ask, don't be afraid, you won't be considered foolish, it is after all a very important occasion and all needs to be right.

The arrangements made cannot be altered after the service has taken place. They can though be changed in any way you like before that time. So no matter whether you want to add to the service to be provided or amend or reduce the commitment in any way, please just ask. The service available to you knows no bounds, it is available throughout the day or night and over weekends as well so there can be no excuse for thinking in time to come "I wish", or, "if only I had asked or arranged". Anything and everything is possible and you shouldn't be left with such thoughts.

In the days, weeks, months and years ahead, the prospect of which at present may appear bleak, you may find you have need for friendship or advice. Remember you always have a friend in us and certainly we can help with the advice and put you in touch with all those who can help and support us and others such as you in these difficult times.

JEWELLERY - PERSONAL EFFECTS
It is important that any instructions left by the deceased with regard to personal effects (e.g. Wedding Ring) are strictly observed. The family too may have specific wishes in this respect. If such items are to be removed the Funeral Director should be instructed and the jewellery and/or clothing collected prior to the funeral taking place.

It should be borne in mind that other members of the family may have different views with regard to these items, and in some cases it is advisable for the jewellery to remain on the deceased.
