Funeral Arrangements

Funeral arrangements in Swansea

Funeral arrangements are normally made after the death has been registered, but it is possible to do this prior to registration, although it must be noted that the day and time of the funeral could not be confirmed at this point.

All the arrangements for the funeral 

Funeral arrangements are normally made during office hours. It is your choice as to whether you would prefer to conduct the arrangements at your home or make them at the funeral home. You can rely on the professional staff at St. James Funeral Home to guide you through all aspects of the arrangements but it would be advisable to have decided prior to the meeting whether the funeral will be a burial or cremation. If you have any questions, give us a call

burial

Some of the questions you will be asked:

 

  • Is the funeral to be a burial or cremation?
  • Would there be a service in the church, the family home or chapel of rest?
  • Minister to officiate at the service? What religion was the deceased, or would you require a non-religious service?
  • Is there a particular type of coffin you may favour.
  • How many limousines would you require (up to 7 people per limousine)? Do you have family or friends to act as bearers?
  • If you are having hymns would you require hymn sheets to be printed, if you do the funeral director will discuss the content and design before ordering them for you?
  • Would you like for the service to be made available remotely via live streaming.

Obituary notices

Obituary notices for local and or national newspapers can be prepared and worded together at this time. We are also able to provide online notices  for the Evening Post and Facebook.


If the funeral is to be a cremation we will discuss the options available to you regarding the final resting place of the cremated remains of the deceased.


If the funeral is to be a burial and the interment is to take place in a new grave we will discuss the option of having a temporary grave marker. We will also inform you of the general rules regarding new memorials. If it is a family grave with a memorial on it we will arrange to have this removed, this has to be done to allow the opening of the grave, and inform you of the procedure regarding the re-fixing of the memorial. After completing the arrangements or as soon after as possible we will give you a fully itemised estimate of the funeral costs.
