Types of Funeral Services
Cremations
Cremation is a widely chosen option among families. At J.F. Thompson & Sons, we offer flexible arrangements to suit your preferences. Whether you choose a service at a crematorium chapel, a church, or another suitable venue, we are committed to honouring your loved one's memory in a meaningful way. We can help arrange a suitable officiant, whether religious or non-religious. Personal touches such as hymns, songs, eulogies, and readings can be incorporated as desired. After the service, you can decide whether to close the crematorium curtain or leave it open for final respects. We understand that deciding what to do with your loved one's ashes can be deeply personal, and we offer guidance and support to help you consider your options.
Burials
Planning a burial involves emotional considerations, and our goal is to provide compassionate support throughout the process. Whether you prefer a cemetery, graveyard, or natural burial ground, and whether you choose a service in a church or chapel, we are here to assist in organising a service that reflects your wishes and beliefs. We tailor the funeral to meet your individual preferences, whether you envision a formal or informal ceremony, or a religious or non-religious service. We are available to address any questions or concerns you may have regarding the burial process.
Green Funerals
For those interested in eco-friendly options, we offer arrangements at natural burial grounds. These ceremonies can incorporate faith-based elements and feature
environmentally friendly coffin and ashes casket choices. A committal ceremony at the graveside allows for a meaningful farewell, where flowers can be placed in tribute.
Unattended Services
Unattended cremations provide a simpler and more affordable option for those facing budget constraints or seeking a more private farewell. This choice involves a direct cremation process without a formal service and is typically unattended. While there is no formal gathering, you can still arrange a private memorial service or celebration of life before or after the cremation to honour your loved one's memory. We can assist you in
determining if an unattended cremation is the right choice and provide further information to help you plan accordingly.
Our commitment is to put you first in everything we do. Serving Wythenshawe and Northern Moor families.
