Funerals with Evergrove
For many, the funeral or celebration of life serves as the primary moment of formal farewell - a time for family, friends, and loved ones to come together, share memories, and honour a life lived.
Evergrove’s sanctuaries provide a beautiful, serene setting ideal for holding funerals and celebrations of life. They are designed to hold space for both sorrow and celebration, supporting families with compassion through every step. We’re here to ensure that every moment is carried out with the utmost care, respect, and dedication to your wishes.
Sanctuary Ceremonies: Our sanctuaries are peaceful, welcoming spaces thoughtfully designed for end-of-life gatherings, including funeral ceremonies and celebrations of life. They can accommodate a range of group sizes, formats and needs.
External Venues: For those who prefer a place of worship or another special location, we fully support off-site arrangements, offering guidance to ensure your wishes are honoured with respect, grace, and dignity.
Faith-Based Integrations: We are exploring ways to incorporate faith-based spaces within our sanctuaries to meet diverse cultural and spiritual needs.
Funeral Support & Venue Options
In addition to a traditional funeral or celebration of life, Evergrove offers a Resting Ceremony. This ceremony provides a gentle, intimate farewell before the terramation process begins, similar to the sentiment of saying goodbye at a crematorium.
Personal and Private: The Resting Ceremony allows for a quiet moment of closure. Family members may be present with their loved one within the terramation vessel, lay flowers, and share in a peaceful, meaningful moment.
Personalised Ceremony: Choose a setting that feels right, whether in a covered or open arrangement, similar to a traditional closed or open casket ceremony. Select from an intimate gathering or a structured ritual to create a ceremony that beautifully reflects your unique values and traditions.
Integrated with Funeral: If the funeral is held within our sanctuary, the Resting Ceremony can be seamlessly integrated into the service.
We encourage consideration of this gentle farewell, even if the primary funeral is held elsewhere, as it can provide valuable closure within the grieving process. For those not holding a formal funeral, the Resting Ceremony offers a way to say goodbye, supporting the transition from loss to remembrance.
