Family arranged funerals

At Peterborough Crematorium we are occasionally asked to offer advice and information on how people can arrange a funeral without the assistance of a funeral director.   

As members of the Charter for the Bereaved, we recognise the right of any individual to organise a funeral without the use of a funeral director and in response to this right we have set out procedures and requirements to help arrange such a funeral.
