Living in a society that is ever diversifying and adopting different cultures the types of funeral service chosen can vary vast and wide from years gone passed, to best suite individuals and bereaved families coping with a bereavement. When choosing what type of service is best for your family the most common difference is religious services and non-religious services.  Religious services are either conducted by the parish minister from the area where the deceased resided or the religious representative from the congregation which the deceased was a member of. A non-religious service can be conducted by anyone from a family member or friend to a humanist celebrant but wouldn’t contain any religious in-put in the way of scripture, hymns or prayers. Everyone is unique and their believes different so it is important to think about what type of service best suites your family’s believes and the deceased own believes to choose the most comforting and appropriate funeral service.
