Funerals and Burials

It can be a traumatic time when a death occurs, and those who are left behind have to decide, amongst other things, what the final arrangements will be for their loved ones.  It can be a daunting experience deciding where the final resting place should be, and how best to commemorate their life through a memorial or tribute of some kind.

When arranging a funeral, it is important to remember to:

• take your time and don't make a hasty decision;
• take advice; and
• discuss the options with family and friends.  It may be that the deceased left instructions regarding the funeral or had previously expressed their wishes.

Welwyn Hatfield Cemetery Services offer a variety of  Burial Options [1MB] which are dependant on the cemetery
