The Evermore Funerals Difference

The loss of a loved one is one of life's most difficult challenges. No matter how much you think you're prepared to face loss, when the time comes it hits very hard. Grief is the result - and that's perfectly normal. However, there are things you can do to help you process the impact of losing someone you care about.

However, sometimes the cremation is delayed - often because the crematorium has experienced an unforeseen operational issue. In such cases the cremation might take place later that day, or the next day. But please be assured, if the cremation is unable to occur at a time very close to the scheduled time, you'll be informed.
