Options for Taking the Coffin into the Crematorium Chapel

When planning a cremation service, one of the many important decisions to make is how the coffin will be taken into the crematorium chapel. At Quantock Funeral Directors, we offer several options to ensure this moment is handled with the utmost respect and personalisation to suit your family's needs and wishes.

Traditional Pallbearer Carrying

One of the most traditional and dignified methods for bringing the coffin into the chapel is to have it carried by pallbearers. Quantock Funeral Directors provide professional and experienced staff who can respectfully carry the coffin. This option allows for a formal and graceful entry, ensuring that the coffin is handled with the highest level of care.

Family Participation

For those who wish for a more personal touch, family members are welcome to act as pallbearers. Carrying the coffin can be a deeply meaningful act, allowing close relatives to honour their loved one in a significant way. Our team will provide guidance and support to ensure that family members are comfortable and confident in this role.

Wheeled Bier

Another option available is to use a wheeled bier, which allows the coffin to be moved with ease. Family members can place their hands on the bier as it is guided into the chapel, symbolically participating in the journey without the physical strain of carrying the coffin. This option combines practicality with a touching gesture of togetherness and support.

Coffin Pre-placed in the Chapel

For those who prefer a simpler approach, the coffin can be placed in the chapel before the service begins. This allows the family to enter the chapel and find their seats without the procession of the coffin. This method can be particularly comforting for those who wish for a more serene and composed start to the service.

Seated Family, Coffin Procession

Alternatively, the family can choose to be seated in the chapel before the coffin is brought in. This option allows the immediate family and other attendees to settle in and prepare for the service. The coffin is then brought in by the funeral directors or family members, providing a moment of quiet reflection as it enters the chapel.

Following the Coffin

Another meaningful option is for the immediate family to follow the coffin into the chapel. This can be a powerful and poignant way to accompany their loved one on their final journey, offering a sense of closeness and support. The procession can be led by our professional staff, ensuring a respectful and orderly entry.
