Sometimes, a family may choose not to have a service at a church or the Crematorium. If this happens, the body of your loved one will be brought to the Crematorium in a coffin and will be looked after with care by the staff who work there.
After a death, your family may decide to have time together with friends to tell stories and share memories to celebrate the life of your loved one, this is called a wake.
After 2 days, your family can collect the ashes of your loved one. They will then decide where to put the ashes, whether that is in the memorial garden at the Crematorium, keep them at home in an urn or scatter them at a place special to your family.
