The Funeral
Honouring every life, with dignity, compassion, and care.
A funeral is more than a ceremony—it’s a chance to say goodbye. A moment to pause, reflect, and honour a life lived. At Perry & Phillips, we understand just how important that moment is. It cannot be repeated. It must be right.
That’s why every funeral we arrange is unique—shaped by your wishes, guided by your values, and delivered with quiet care and unwavering respect.
The Importance of Saying Goodbye
We know how vital it is to create the right space to say goodbye. It might be a traditional service in a church, crematorium or private venue. It could be something more personal and informal. For some, it’s music, readings, or poems that reflect their loved one. For others, it’s simplicity and silence.
There is no right or wrong way to say goodbye — only your way.
Our role is to gently guide you through the options, supporting you to make the choices that feel most meaningful for you and your family.
Personalised to Reflect the Person
No two people are the same. And no two funerals should be either.
That’s why we take time to listen. Whether you’re arranging something traditional, alternative, or somewhere in between, we help shape a service that reflects the life, character, and values of the person who has died.
You might choose to include:
- A favourite piece of music or hymn
- Poems, readings or a eulogy written by a loved one
- Memory boards or photo slideshows
- Personal touches like clothing, vehicles or floral tributes
- A video recording or live-stream for those who cannot attend
- A symbolic act such as lighting candles, planting flowers, or releasing doves
Whatever matters to you, we will work with care and flexibility to bring it together—ensuring the funeral feels personal, appropriate, and true to the life it honours.
On the Day of the Funeral
On the day itself, you can trust our team to be calm, respectful, and quietly attentive to every detail. We will:
- Coordinate all logistics, vehicles, and people involved
- Liaise with ministers, celebrants or officiants
- Guide you and your family throughout, always with sensitivity
- Ensure the service runs smoothly, exactly as planned
You’ll never be rushed. You’ll never be alone.
We’re not just here to deliver a service—we’re here to walk alongside you on one of the most significant days of your life.
A Farewell That Feels Right
We believe that every goodbye matters. It should feel right for you—and reflect the person you are remembering.
At Perry & Phillips, we’re proud to provide a service where every funeral is individually crafted, handled with professionalism, and delivered with heart.
