Funeral Ceremony Packages

Honoring Lives with Grace, Warmth, and Personal Significance

Every life deserves to be remembered in a way that beautifully reflects its story, spirit, and importance. At Sarah’s Personal Ceremonies, I offer three thoughtfully designed funeral packages that provide support to families during moments of reflection, tribute, and connection.

Whether you're planning a formal funeral, an intimate farewell, or a celebration of life, I will partner closely with you to create a ceremony that brings comfort and honors your loved one with authenticity and compassion.

Types of Funeral in the UK

Helping You Choose the Right Farewell

Every life is unique — and so is every goodbye. In the UK, families have a wide range of funeral options to reflect personal beliefs, values, and wishes. Whether traditional or alternative, religious or secular, each type of funeral offers a meaningful way to honour a loved one.



Here’s a guide to the most common types of funerals available:

Traditional Cremation Funeral

A service held at a crematorium, followed by cremation. 

Includes readings, music, and tributes 

Ashes may be kept, scattered, or buried 

Can be tailored to any faith or belief system 

 

 
 

Natural or Woodland Burial

An eco-conscious option using biodegradable materials. 

Held at a natural burial site

Often includes a simple ceremony in nature 

Ideal for those seeking a sustainable farewell 

Humanist or Non-Religious Funeral

A celebration of life without religious content. 

Led by a celebrant 

Focuses on the person’s story, values, and relationships 

Can be held at any venue — crematorium, hall, home, or outdoors
