You may choose to carry the coffin yourselves instead of using pallbearers. However, our pallbearers are accustomed to lifting, carrying and manoeuvring coffins and if you would like to carry the coffin yourselves, you could consider including one or two pallbearers as well.
If this is something that you’d like to do, please get in touch as soon as possible so that we can offer you some guidance and help ensure the day runs smoothly.
'As a family who has not experienced personal bereavement or loss of a close loved one, we appreciated the step-by-step guidance and attention you offered us. Your opinions, advice, and expertise helped make this a little easier to bear.'
'Thank you for taking care of Dad and helping the family through a very difficult time. From our first call through to the funeral nothing was too much trouble and Bernadette & Martin were always there when we needed them.'
'The home was welcoming and we were put at ease knowing that everything would be taken care of. Tracy immediately understood our concerns and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.'
'During this difficult time we were provided with great care and thoughtfulness throughout. From the first meeting with Michael, we felt well supported and that Dad’s funeral was in good hands.'
'The day of the funeral could not have gone more smoothly with a team who were thoughtful and caring. The care and attention to detail was second to none. We would highly recommend Harold White.'
'Tracy understood our needs, she was sensitive and caring and helped us through the steps of planning and organising. Nothing was ever too much trouble or stressful. I cannot recommend Harold White highly enough.'
