Initial Contact
As soon as one of our pastors has received your information from the funeral directors, the initial contact with you will be a phone call. We aim to make contact on the same day that we receive your details. This way we can have as much time as possible to put together a service that's exactly how you want it.
In our initial phone call, we'll arrange to meet with the family, which can include anyone who you would consider important. This meeting will be at your home, at a time that it's most convenient for you and for the pastor taking your service. The timings will vary, but you shouldn't expect for it to take longer than an hour.
What Goes Into a Service
One of the things that Berkshire Funeral Pastors is really passionate about is giving you the space to create a funeral that is unique to your loved one and their family. You should feel totally free to personalise it. You can do that with things like bible readings, songs that have personal meaning, hymns, extracts from favourite stories, and prayers. You can find some examples that we've put together here, but feel free to use your own.
Behind the Scenes
Your pastor will hopefully leave the meeting with all the information they need to put together your perfect service. They will pass any relevant information on to the funeral directors, and do any extra research that you agree at the initial meeting. You will have their contact details, and they will do their best to make themselves available to you for any questions or concerns you might have between the initial meeting and the day of the funeral.
On the Day
When the day of the funeral service comes, you can expect your pastor to have arrived at least 25 minutes before the service. They will be waiting at the entrance when the hearse arrives, ready to greet everyone and make sure everything is ready to go. They will work together with the funeral directors so that you don't need to worry about anything except saying good bye to your loved one.
