Thoughtfully Tailored — From Simple Farewells to Traditional Funerals
Every life is unique, and at Arlington Funeral Services, every farewell is treated with care and dignity. Whether you are arranging a quiet unattended cremation, a traditional funeral, or something more personal, we will guide you gently — one step at a time.
Our team takes time to explain every option clearly and ensure your wishes are at the heart of every decision.
Cremation Services
A cremation can be entirely personal — religious or non-religious, formal or informal. The service may be held at a crematorium, church, chapel or chosen venue. Readings, music, photographs and tributes can be included to reflect your loved one’s life and values.
We can help with:
-
Choosing an officiant or celebrant
-
Music and readings
-
Order of Service and stationery
-
Planning how the service concludes
-
Caring for the ashes — scatter, bury, or keep in a meaningful place
Additional Options
-
Fleet: Mercedes hearse and limousines available in-house.
-
Floral Tributes: Traditional tributes or bespoke designs available.
-
Personal Clothing: Any specific outfit or item can be used, handled with the utmost respect.
Burial Services
Burial remains a timeless and traditional choice. Services can be held at a church, chapel, graveside, or alternative venue — formal or informal, religious or secular. Our team will help manage all documentation and cemetery guidance.
We can support burials in:
-
Local cemeteries
-
Churchyards
-
Woodland or natural burial grounds
Additional Options
-
Fleet: Mercedes hearses and limousines, or horse-drawn hearse on request
-
Floral Tributes: From classic wreaths to personalised displays

Green & Natural Funerals
For those wishing to choose an environmentally-conscious funeral, we offer natural and woodland burials. These take place in peaceful settings and typically avoid embalming and non-biodegradable materials.
We can provide:
-
Biodegradable coffins (wicker, bamboo, cardboard)
-
Support with choosing a natural burial ground
-
Guidance on sustainable floral tributes
-
Clothing made from natural fibres (optional)
Unattended Cremations (Direct Cremation)
A Direct Cremation is a dignified cremation with no service and no attendees on the day. It is private, respectful and often chosen when families prefer simplicity or wish to arrange a separate memorial later. Included:
-
Care of your loved one
-
Cremation at a local crematorium
-
Ashes returned to you in a simple container
-
No procession or service on the day
