The Funeral Planning List

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to planning funerals. As our name suggests, we at Artisan Funerals are all about creating bespoke, unique and memorable services. However, there are certain fundamental questions to answer when pre-planning a funeral. These include the following:


  • When & where should the funeral be held: For example, should it be at a chapel, church, crematorium, graveside, park, club or at home. 
  • What type of service do you desire: Should it be religious or secular? Do you want it facilitated by a celebrant, a member of the clergy or a family member?
  • What kind of coffin or casket is required: Do you want something traditional or modern and colourful?
  • What should the deceased wear: Is there a specific kind of clothing you’d prefer for the viewing?
  • Who should deliver the eulogy: Should it be family, friends, colleagues, etc.?
  • Should the service be open casket: Do you want to allow a viewing?


We will gently walk you through each question step by step. Additionally, we can take you through the options available for a tailor-made funeral service: music, decorations, viewing options, etc

Pre-Paid Funerals & Funeral Bonds

Pre-paid funerals, as the name suggests, are pre-planned, contracted and paid for in advance. By arranging a pre-paid funeral, all your arrangements will be protected from later price rises. Payments are held by an independently managed funeral fund and can only be released to pay for your funeral after you have passed on. You have the option to pay in instalments or as a lump sum.


Funeral bonds are designed to help you pay for the cost of a funeral via managed investment. Payments can also be paid as a lump sum or in installations.
