If you wish to have the ashes returned, they will be provided to you in a scatter tube. At Roseberry Funeral Service, we offer a more personalised approach. We do not charge extra or prevent families from visiting their loved one in our chapel of rest, even if they have chosen a direct cremation. This option is ideal for those who prefer to avoid the formality of a traditional funeral or are seeking a more cost-effective alternative. Direct Even with a direct cremation, you can still take time to say goodbye. Our Service Room provides a calm, intimate setting for family and close friends. Choosing a direct cremation doesn’t mean missing the chance to say goodbye. Our intimate Service Room allows close family and friends to come together for a short service or moment of reflection before the cremation.

FAQ's When a death occurs Planning the funeral service The day of the funeral Funeral Costs Myths Frequently asked Questions What do I do if someone passes away at home? When someone passes away at home, or in a nursing home, the first thing to do is to contact the doctor’s surgery that they were registered with. Someone will then come out and will be able to confirm that death has occurred. If death occurs outside of normal surgery hours, then an “on call doctor” will take the place of the regular GP. When the Doctor, or qualified person, has verified the death you will be advised to contact your chosen Funeral Director. Should you wish for us to be your chosen Funeral Director, we will ask a few questions about the person who has passed away and yourself as the caller. Our aim will then be to arrive within one hour to bring them into our care What happens if the coroner in involved? Deaths are referred to the coroner by the GP, emergency services or Medical Examiner if the death is sudden, or the cause of death cannot be readily established by the GP. This can simply be because the person has not been seen by the doctor within the last 14 days, or because the person may have died from something other than that which the doctor was treating. Occasionally the family can prevail on the doctor not to refer to the coroner, or the doctor can speak to the coroner to try to avoid a post-mortem if the cause of death is not really in question. If in doubt, the coroner will always proceed with a post-mortem. What is a post-mortem? A post-mortem is an external and internal examination of the person’s body and is needed to establish the cause of death. If after making all necessary enquiries, and the cause of death is established as natural causes, then the coroner will not request a no post-mortem. In this case, and if the person is to be buried, the family need to register the death in the normal way. In the case of cremation, the coroner will inform the Registrar, which then allows the funeral to proceed; however, in this case, the family will need to visit the registrar to get death certificates What is an inquest? This is called if circumstances surrounding the death require some further investigation – this could be due to concern over nursing or medical care, alcohol or drug use while in care, the death being sudden and unexplained, chance of suspected foul play, or possibly to ‘learn the lessons’ for future such cases. If called, it is immediately adjourned to allow for the facts to be gathered and need not delay the funeral. If this happens, an interim death certificate is produced and act as a normal death certificate until after the inquest is finalised. What do I do if someone passes away at home? When someone passes away at home, or in a nursing home, the first thing to do is to contact the doctor’s surgery that they were registered with. Someone will then come out and will be able to confirm that death has occurred. If death occurs outside of normal surgery hours, then an “on call doctor” will take the place of the regular GP. When the Doctor, or qualified person, has verified the death you will be advised to contact your chosen Funeral Director. Should you wish for us to be your chosen Funeral Director, we will ask a few questions about the person who has passed away and yourself as the caller. Our aim will then be to arrive within one hour to bring them into our care How do I register a death? A death can only be registered once the GP and Medical Examiner are in agreement on the cause of death. The Medical Examiner will then issue the paperwork to the registry office for the death to be registered. You should register the death within 5 days of the Medical Referees conformation. This should be done within the county the death happened. For deaths in James Cook or North Tees Hospital, the bereavement team will contact you to arrange the registration. For deaths on Redcar and Cleveland please call 01642 444440 and Middlesbrough, please call 01642 729004. Who should register the death? A relative should register the death. If a relative cannot register the death, you can do it if you: were there at the time of death are an administrator from the hospital (if the person died in hospital) oversee making funeral arrangements We want to carry the coffin, is that ok? Yes, this can be one person or 6 there are no set rules with us. Your Funeral Director will brief anyone who wishes to carry the coffin when you arrive at the service location. We will always have a full team there to support the people carrying the coffin and explain things so that you carry the coffin in a dignified and safe manner for your loved one. We have people who can't make the service, what can we do? Kirkleatham and Acklam Crematorium both have the facility to have a live webcast.

Expenses Payment from the Government: You (or your partner) must be getting one or more of the following: Income Support Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance Income-related Employment and Support Allowance Pension Credit Housing Benefit the disability or severe disability element of Working Tax Credit Child Tax Credit Universal Credit You can still claim a Funeral Expenses Payment if you’ve applied for these benefits and you’re waiting to hear about your claim. To be eligible for a Funeral Expenses Payment, you must be the partner of the deceased when they died a close relative or close friend of the deceased the parent of a baby stillborn after 24 weeks of pregnancy the parent or person responsible for a deceased child who was under 16 (or under 20 and in approved education or training) What are the benefits of a Funeral Expenses Payment? You might not get a Funeral Expenses Payment if another close relative of the deceased (such as a sibling or parent) is in work. A Funeral Expenses Payment can help to pay for some of the costs of the following: burial fees for a particular plot cremation fees, including the cost of the doctor’s certificate travel to arrange or go to the funeral the cost of moving the body within the UK, if it’s being moved more than 50 miles death certificates or other documents You can also get up to £1000 for any other funeral expenses, such as funeral director’s fees, flowers, or the coffin. The payment will not usually cover all the costs of the funeral. How much you get depends on your circumstances. This includes any other money that’s available to cover the costs, for example from an insurance policy or the deceased person’s estate. https://www.gov.uk/funeral-payments Should I choose burial or cremation? This is something only you can decide. If you haven’t already discussed this, then it can be a difficult decision to make. On average 75% of funerals in the UK are cremation. The cost of a burial varies depending on if you own a plot or need to purchase one at the time. Costs also change, depending on if you are a resident of the area the cemetery is located. Nevertheless, the choice between cremation and burial is a personal decision to be made by you and your family. Should you be making the decision on your loved one’s behalf, you should take their beliefs into account. What is embalming? This is the process where the body is preserved using preservatives to slow the effects of natural deterioration. The process helps by making the deceased appear restful and can even help with the effects of disease or other causes of death. The embalming process helps to achieve a natural and comforting lasting image of your loved one. Can I put personal items in the coffin? You can put personal items into the coffin, or we can on your behalf. This can include letters, photographs, jewellery (watches will need batteries removing), religious tokens, teddies and toys and flowers. There is a list of items that are not allowed to be cremated, but the key two are alcohol and anything with a battery. If you are worried, please talk to us and we can advise you. How can I personalise the funeral service? There are many ways that you can personalise a funeral, from small to the big details that make the service so special. Location – having the service in Church, the crematorium chapel, or somewhere special to you. We have conducted many funerals at more unique places as well as traditional. Music, readings, and poems – we hear many times “It's their favourite song but we can’t have that at a funeral”. Our response – why not? Your minister or celebrant will help you with readings and poems but if you have one that is special to you, this should be included. Coffin – there are so many choices with a coffin that can really help to reflect a person’s life and personality. From a special engraving to the colour and style all of these can varied to each person. Vehicle – there are many ways to transport both your loved one and family members to a funeral. You can choose anything from a traditional hearse through to limousines, motorbikes and sidecars, coloured hearses, tandem bikes, vintage cars, and horse-drawn carriages. If your loved one was passionate about a particular type of vehicle, then incorporating it into the funeral procession could create a meaningful moment. Flowers – Personalised funeral flowers are a popular choice and provide an opportunity to celebrate a loved one’s hobbies or passions. For example, you could include the instrument of a musician within the floral display or choose funeral flowers in the colours of a person’s favourite sports team. For keen gardeners, you could include their favourite plants and flowers within the floral display or even use flowers from their garden. Some people do not like flowers, so why not have something else that is important to them. Attire – incorporating a special colour can be the perfect way to add some touches to a funeral service. Although wearing black or dark colours is traditional funeral attire, this may not reflect a person’s character. Incorporating a dress code could work well for someone who was known for their style. If a loved one had a favourite colour, then you could request for guests to wear a pop of that colour to the funeral. Alternatively, you could ask guests to avoid wearing black or dark colours altogether. Perhaps your loved one was a big fan of hats or a specific type of clothing, in which case encouraging guests to wear that type of clothing in tribute could work very well. Do the coffins get re-used? No. The coffin and the person inside are cremated/buried together Is everyone just cremated at the end of the day No, each cremation is carried out separately.
