Thompson Family Funerals
Our family caring for your family
In cases where a doctor is unable to determine the cause of death, it is necessary for the coroner to be notified – the police do this. The police prepare a report for the coroner who then seeks to determine the cause of death by contacting the doctor of the deceased or requesting a pathologist to inspect the body and carry out an autopsy.
There are a few services that you will need that are as sensitive or as personal as that of a funeral director. Our mix of people and international experience gives us expertise few can match. We don’t claim to be grief experts, but we do know that the death of a family member or friend is very distressing.
Few people realize the extent of a funeral director’s service. It begins when we are first called, and ends only when we are satisfied that the ceremony is as perfect and complete as we can make it, and the wishes of the family are fully met. Approximately forty hours of time is taken in order to professionally arrange and conduct every funeral. The following is a general list of services we are able to provide each family:
By planning ahead you can ensure peace of mind for you and your family. Pre-arranging and pre-paying your funeral means that you are able to select the service you would like and relieve your family of the emotional and financial burden of making these arrangements themselves.
