Funerals will usually begin between mid-morning and early afternoon. This is due to the fact that the professionals involved generally keep normal business hours.
Most crematoria staff, cemetery workers and funeral directors work between 9am and 5pm from Monday to Friday. Funerals can take place outside of these times, by appointment, but they are less common. Funerals can be held at night but this generally needs to be specially requested as arranging all of the necessary staff to work outside of business hours can be difficult. If there are specific reasons a night time funeral needs to take place, a funeral director will certainly be able to help; but most will usually advise against it unless completely necessary.

As all of our funerals are arranged over the telephone, the timescales involved with a Simplicity Cremation can differ slightly in comparison to a traditional funeral.
It will be a minimum of 14 days after payment before the cremation takes place, to allow us to cover the cooling off period in the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Aside from this, the date a Simplicity Cremation takes place is dependent on the availability at the crematoria where the cremation will take place, as with a traditional funeral.
Due to the direct nature of our services, a Simplicity Cremation cannot be held on the weekend or on bank holidays. We provide you will all of the practical and essential elements of a cremation, without the obligation to pay for traditional ceremonial elements you might not want.
There are however a few key differences between our funerals, including the days of which they can take place. A direct cremation takes place without a service and without any mourners present. For this reason, our Unattended Funeral takes place on a time and date of our choosing. Choosing a date for the funeral that suits everyone can be difficult, and with more families and friends living further apart than ever before, it can be difficult for mourners to make arrangements to travel to the place where the funeral is taking place, especially at short notice.
A direct cremation, allows you to hold the funeral without a service, so you can hold a celebration of life or memorial at any time, giving more time for family and friends to make arrangements to attend. Traditional funerals on a weekend are typically more expensive, and something not all crematoria or burial grounds will accommodate.
Holding a memorial service instead of a funeral service on a weekend or on an evening will allow you to avoid such extra expense. Direct cremation is also a good option if you plan on burying the ashes of your loved one or interring them into a columbarium. An Intimate Funeral allows a small group of family and friends to spend a short time in the crematorium chapel, to say goodbye and reflect as they wish. As soon as someone dies, their body starts to decompose.
So, strictly speaking, you can only really delay a formal funeral ceremony for three or four weeks. Another reason you may need to delay a funeral is if the UK enforces a blanket ban on all social gatherings. This has been a concern for many people following the rapid spread of coronavirus across the country. A funeral is a ceremony that takes place alongside a burial or cremation at a funeral home, church, crematorium or cemetery chapel.
A memorial service is the part that often takes place after a funeral, also known as a wake. This can be done by sharing stories, making speeches or simply listening to music that reminds you of the person you lost.
Traditionally, the funeral and memorial service take place on the same day.
