Funeral Matters Guide

Funerals Matter

Introduction

The death of a loved one is a difficult and emotional time for every family. People are left at their most vulnerable and so trying to fathom what needs to be done to arrange the funeral, the range of choices and cost involved can be

The Consumer Council has produced this guide to clarify the choices available to Islanders. We have worked closely with the three Funeral Homes on the Island and have ascertained the key areas that you will need to consider. We found that the Funeral Homes can help to tailor a funeral around anyone’s requirements. A memorable funeral doesn’t necessarily have to be an expensive funeral and our booklet plan has been put in place to help guide you through a difficult process.
