Arranging a Funeral
Arranging a Funeral with Hilton’s Funeral Directors
Arranging a funeral is a deeply personal journey, often undertaken during an emotional and overwhelming time. At Hilton’s, our dedicated team is here to guide you with empathy, clarity, and professionalism—ensuring that every detail is handled with care and respect.
Step 1
Choosing the Right Type of Funeral
The first decision involves selecting the type of funeral that best reflects your loved one’s wishes, values, or beliefs. Whether you opt for a traditional burial, cremation, or a green funeral at a natural burial ground, we are here to help you understand your options and make a choice that feels right. We also assist in deciding whether the service will be religious or non-religious, formal or informal, tailoring every element to your preferences.
Step 2
Planning the Service
The service itself is a meaningful opportunity to honour a unique life. We’ll work closely with you to shape a ceremony that includes personal touches—such as music, readings, poems, or heartfelt tributes.
We can arrange for a minister, celebrant, or humanist officiant, and coordinate the location of the service—whether at a church, crematorium chapel, graveside, or another meaningful venue.
Practical matters are also carefully managed, including:
- Choosing a coffin or casket
- Setting the date and time of the service
- Organising funeral transport from our distinguished fleet
- Completing all necessary legal and registration paperwork
- Incorporating personal memorabilia or keepsakes, if desired
Our role is to ensure everything is arranged with dignity and sensitivity, giving you peace of mind.
Step 3
Informing Family and Friends
We help you communicate the funeral arrangements to family and friends in a way that suits your needs. This may include:
- Placing newspaper or online notices
- Sharing details through social media or memorial websites
- Providing advice on collecting and sharing messages of condolence or memories
Creating a supportive space for reflection and remembrance is a vital part of the healing process, and we’re here to guide you.
Step 4
Taking Care of Yourself
We know how emotionally demanding planning a funeral can be. It’s important to take care of yourself and lean on the support of others—whether that’s friends, family, or professional counselling services.
At Hilton’s, we’re here not only to arrange the funeral but to offer comfort and reassurance. There is no right or wrong way to grieve—take the time you need.
Clear Guidance and Honest Costs
We believe in complete transparency when it comes to funeral costs. From cremation or burial fees to floral arrangements and printed materials, everything is clearly explained. We offer flexible payment options and can help you explore financial support if required.
