The death of a loved one is a traumatic experience.
For those who have not had to sort out funeral arrangements before,
the question arises ; What do I have to do ?
The simple answer is : get in touch with a Funeral Director. There
are several well-established firms in Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket and
Haverhill - some of whom advertise in The
Wickhambrook Scene.

|
The Funeral Director will ‘undertake’
all the arrangements, giving you advice on such matters as
Do you wish for a Burial or a Cremation?
Would
you like a Service in one of our local Churches ? (They are all willing
to provide this - the Minister or Vicar would come to see you)
Would
you like a burial in our local cemetery or elsewhere ? (This includes
the interment of cremated remains) |
The Funeral Director will make arrangements for the burial with the
Parish Council, who are responsible for the Cemetery.
(Burials in Churchyards are controlled by the Churches). - see below
on how to contact the Clerk to the Parish Council.
