We have countless years of experience with traditional funerals, becoming reputable in St. Agnes, Truro, and the surrounding locations for our dedication and compassion. If you opt for a traditional funeral, it does not mean you cannot make special requests. We will listen to all of your desires and strive to make them happen, so your day is as seamless as possible. Malcolm can arrange transport with our funeral cars which include hearses, limousines and horse-drawn hearses. We can also arrange all the meaningful elements such as floral tributes and music. We take great pride in our dedicated and sensitive approach. Our location is based in St Agnes’ Heritage Coast, so, whether you live in Mount Hawke, Blackwater, Chacewater, Porthtowan, Falmouth, Playing Place, Devoran, Redruth, Stithians or surrounding areas choose us for our comprehensive services.
We can arrange for you, your family and friends to be transported in our vehicles comfortably and in a timely manner. Malcolm will meet you with the hearse at a family property if this is your wish and escort you to the service. We can provide bearers who will respectfully carry your loved one from the hearse to the service venue. The ceremony will then take place, where you will have a chance to say your goodbyes with the attendees before going to the place of burial. Afterwards, you may wish to hold a wake or a funeral reception to celebrate the life of your loved one. This can be arranged for you in advance.
Commonly, the hearse will travel to the funeral venue, followed by limousines transporting the next of kin. On the day of the funeral, we can collect the family from a designated home address. After bearers have moved the coffin from the hearse to the ceremony venue, family and friends may play music, read poems, eulogies, religious hymns or pay other tributes. At the time of burial, loved ones will gather at the side of the grave to bid their last goodbyes. Generally, traditional funeral services follow the process below:
Collection and care of your loved one
The chance to say farewell to your loved one in the chapel of rest
A religious or non-religious funeral ceremony at the cemetery, church or crematorium
A wake, where the deceased’s family and friends gather to commemorate them
Malcolm will take care of everything for you, from the transport through to the service and reception. We have a wealth of experience planning successful and sentimental funerals. Whether you would like the funeral to be completely traditional in style or have a modern touch, we can ensure your preferences are met.
So, choose our respectful directors who will ensure that your day goes the way you envisaged.
