Stevens Family Funeral Directorslocal, independent undertakers offering traditional funerals with dignity and respect

Traditional Funerals in Mill Hill

In the UK, a traditional funeral is typically made up of three stages—the funeral service, the commitment service, and the wake. While the specifics of each of these stages are liable to change, based on the requests of the family and whether it’s going to be a religious or secular occasion, the overall structure remains consistent, allowing for a respectful and meaningful farewell.

Here at Stevens Family Funeral Directors, we can help you put together the perfect traditional funeral for your loved one, working closely with you to ensure that every detail of the day is what they would have wanted.

Funerals, Burials, and Cremations

As your local, independent funeral directors, we offer a full range of services to families across North London and Hertfordshire. These are some of the most solutions we provide:

Funeral Procession

Your loved one will be taken from our funeral home in Mill Hill to each stage of their traditional funeral in a procession of cars.

They, of course, will lead the procession, while family members and other key mourners can follow in our fleet of funeral cars, being a mix of Mercedes vehicles and limousines.

Flowers from the family can be arranged in the hearse on top of the casket as the procession takes a sedate and respectful route towards each stop along the deceased’s final journey.

Funeral Service

The funeral service can be held at a place of worship or in a chapel at the cemetery or crematorium, depending on your preference. It typically involves readings or prayers read by members of the family or close friends, as well as favourite hymns or meaningful pieces of music.

Whoever is leading the service will give a eulogy for the deceased, which is a personal tribute to the passed loved one, and there is often time devoted to silent reflection. Whatever your preferences for the funeral service, we can assist with the arrangements, including flowers for the church or chapel and a printed order of service.

Committal Service

The committal service is an opportunity for mourners to say one final goodbye to the deceased prior to their burial or cremation.

It takes place at the graveside or the crematorium, and either the celebrant or the funeral director will say a few words of comfort for the bereaved. At Stevens Family Funeral Directors, we can arrange the committal service, depending on your wishes.

If you have family members who wish to act as pallbearers, we will tell them what to do, or we can provide suitable pallbearers from our staff. In addition to standard burial and cremation services, we also provide an eco-burial package, which includes a biodegradable coffin for those wishing to offset the carbon footprint of their burial.

Wake

The wake is an informal gathering following the committal service, often at a local pub or social club, where family and friends of the deceased can get together to share fond memories and offer condolences. While this is usually arranged by the family, we are happy to provide advice regarding local venues in case you are not from the area yourself.
