For some the traditional style of funeral, with or without religion, in the church or crematorium, is the right one. It can be comforting in its familiarity, quietly dignified for someone who liked tradition, held formal religious belief, or who would not have wanted a fuss made over them. However it can be made into a grand occasion with the black horses and carriage, beautiful flowers, high church service.
The hallmarks of a traditional funeral are the black hearse and limousine, wooden coffin, black clad funeral staff and bearers, familiar liturgy, a hymn or other well-known song. Small touches can make a traditional funeral more personal through family involvement, a heartfelt eulogy by a family member, a picture of the person who has died on the coffin, a personal reading or piece of music.
