Making Arrangements

Arranging a funeral can be one of the most daunting tasks that anyone has to undertake and, especially for those who have never had to deal with a bereavement before, the thought of it all can be both overwhelming and traumatic.

Our aim was not to create a website with walls of text and reams of information, as sometimes you can\’t see the wood for the trees. We can explain everything you need to know, and what initial steps you need to take after suffering a bereavement, either over the phone, by visiting us in our welcoming premises in Grove Road, or even by home visit.

However, we decided to create this section to include more in depth info on arranging a funeral, which we hope may serve as a reference if needed. There are also some useful and relevant contacts near the bottom of the page.

We have also created a FAQ page which includes some of our most frequently asked questions to serve as not just a snippet of useful information, but also as a small aid to things that you may have not even contemplated which you can find here.



Registering a death

“ Rosedale Funeral Service is handily located just over the road from Eastbourne Town Hall where the Registrars offices are. We also have free client parking beside our premises“

 

Arranging the funeral

“In selecting ourselves as your Funeral Director, we will ensure that each and every detail is discussed with you thoroughly to ensure your wishes and those of the deceased are correctly carried out”

 

Viewing the deceased

“ The custom of viewing the body of the deceased is firmly established in many areas“

On The Day

“We will be in attendance throughout the proceedings, to ensure the smooth running of events”

Cremation

“ Cremation is increasingly becoming the preferred choice….“

Burial

“When a new grave is to be purchased in a public cemetery it is wise to consider how many people are likely to be buried in that grave”

 

Cremated Remains

“At the time of making the funeral arrangements, it is not always easy to make a decision on the final resting place for a loved one’s cremated remains “

 

Memorials

“There are numerous options when considering memorials these days”
