Shoobridge Funeral Services | Direct Cremations Exeter
When a relative dies, leaving the express wish to have a no-fuss, Direct or Pure Cremation, it can send families into a spin about what to do.
It might have been mum or dad’s insistence that they went ‘quietly’ but the same is often not said for the children, grandchildren and friends, who want to say goodbye.
Attending a funeral of someone we love is standing in solidarity with other people who feel the same. It is a chance to share memories and reminiscences. Sometimes, people even discover something that they hadn’t known such a charity that their loved one regularly supported or a sporting prowess from younger years. For the duration of the funeral and the wake that almost always follows, this precious person’s life is honoured through the words of those who knew him best.
According to grief counsellors, this is immensely important. When family and friends offer condolences and acknowledge the family’s loss, it helps to validate feelings which, in turn, helps with the grieving process of saying ‘goodbye’.
At Shoobridge Funeral Services, we are in the unique position of being able to honour a person’s wishes at the same time as providing a space for a simple but healing goodbye. White Lace Chapel, our 50-seater private chapel, is used for bespoke traditional funerals but it is also available for informal and more intimate gatherings. This way, you can honour your loved one’s wishes but give yourselves the chance to say goodbye, too.
We also provide free bereavement support from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday to Friday (see top of homepage), where you can talk confidentially to one of our qualified bereavement counsellors.
We’ve created these advice guides to help with any of the questions you may have about funerals. Whether you’re arranging, attending a funeral, or need some support, we are here to help.
