Traditional Funerals

Traditional funerals

There is comfort and structure in a traditional funeral.  The rituals that have stood the test of time for hundreds of years provide a welcome familiarity for family and friends when it comes to mourning the deceased.  We specialise in traditional funerals at David C Rivett Family Funeral Directors in Yeovil and we can arrange a funeral that helps to provide the comfort and closure that you and your family require.  To speak to our family, contact us today.

How is the funeral organised?

The traditional funeral has an established makeup where family and friends have all the time they need to pay their respects.  It begins with a viewing period, after which the minister will lead the procession and begin the actual service.  The service itself can take place at a parish church of your own choosing and incorporates readings and prayers that you can also select.  After the service is over, the deceased will be conducted to either the crematorium or cemetery.  It is also possible to hold the service at the chapel where the burial or cremation will take place.  Although the funeral is traditional in nature, the actual details can be personalised in a number of ways to make it more in keeping with the deceased and the kind of person they were.

Why our funeral directors?

A member of the family will always be present during the service.  We are professional in every aspect that matters but we also take care to provide a personal and caring service through what is a difficult process for all concerned.  David C Rivett Family Funeral Directors is a family-run organisation and it has been for the last 32 years.  As an established funeral home with all family members, you can always trust us to provide the kind of service that you and your family require.
