Funeral arrangements

After losing someone you love, emotions are bound to be running high – making it even harder to organise a funeral.

Before they sadly passed away, your loved one might have taken out a funeral plan or spoken about what type of service they’d like – be it an intimate ceremony for immediate family and friends or a large gathering for everyone to pay their respects.

Our funeral directors near Paulton will talk you through the funeral services and packages we offer and, taking into account their wishes and beliefs, we will assist you in choosing the most fitting option.

• The Brunel Cremation – an all-inclusive cremation service including the conveyancing of your loved one into our funeral home, the preparation of the body for viewings, the provision of a hearse and a short service carried out with dignity and care.

This cremation service is the ideal choice for those who don’t wish to be buried.

• Direct Cremation – a simple yet dignified cremation without the formality of a traditional service and mourners. Instead, your beloved friend or relative will be taken to the crematorium or cemetery with only the funeral director and pallbearers present. You and your family can pay homage to them at a later date, in whatever way you see fit.

A direct cremation is perfect for anyone who wants to be laid to rest peacefully with minimal fuss.

• The Bespoke Service – a traditional funeral package that can be customised by you and the rest of your family to reflect the life and beliefs of the dear departed. You can choose everything from the coffin, hearse and flowers to the readings, hymns and dress code.

This funeral service allows you to give your loved one the send-off you know they would have wanted.

Other services

From booking the date, time and venue of the service to informing the celebrant of your music and reading choices and providing transport on the day, funeral directors in Paulton (or anywhere else) can lessen the burden of arranging a funeral.

At Brunel Funerals, we are more than willing to go above and beyond to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

We can handle the flower arrangements on your behalf – offering beautiful bouquets, colourful sprays, specially shaped tributes and more to decorate the coffin or grave. You’re also welcome to have flowers sent to our funeral home, which is less than a 50-minute drive from Paulton. Here, we’ll care for them until the day of the service and transport them to the venue.

Keepsakes, such as memory teddies, fingerprint jewellery and paperweights are a lovely way to keep a loved one’s memory alive. Be sure to ask our funeral directors about the selection available at our funeral home.

For those after a more permanent symbol of remembrance, we provide a full masonry service – including stone, marble and granite headstones in an array of shapes and sizes. Why not give it a personal touch with their name, birth and death dates and a beautiful inscription in a font of your choice?
