What are funeral disbursements?
What are funeral disbursements? Disbursements are costs that are out of the control of the Funeral Director and have to be paid to a third party.

- Grave fee -the fee for the purchase of a grave.
- Grave opening fee- this is the fee for the opening of a grave purchased or a grave already purchased.
- New grave fee.
- Minister / Church fee – a fee for the minister to take a funeral service.
- Newspaper notice – announcement to be published in the newspaper.
- Floral Tributes
Traditional or informal?
Funeral services can be as formal or informal as you would like – and it’s entirely up to you as to how religious the service is depending on your beliefs and the wishes of your loved one.
Hopcraft Funeral Directors will organise the funeral and a burial at your chosen cemetery, graveyard or burial ground and purchase a grave on your behalf where necessary. Most burial grounds have a chapel or room where the service can take place, but you may decide you want the service to take place in a particular church or other venue that has meaning for you.
If you already have a family burial plot we will be able to arrange for it to be reopened before the burial. If you would like burial plots which are next to each other, you’ll need to talk to the local authority about the possibility of purchasing or reserving multiple plots and again, we can help you with this.
What happens at a burial?
On the day of the funeral, depending on your preference, mourners may assemble outside the burial ground awaiting the arrival of the cortege with hearse, or may take a seat in the chapel before the coffin is brought in. Alternatively, the coffin can be taken to the venue prior to the mourners arriving.
A funeral service usually lasts around 20 to 60 minutes and can include a number of hymns or non-religious songs that mean something to you, eulogies and readings.
Following the funeral service (should you choose to have one) the committal service usually takes place at the graveside with the minister, clergy or other non-religious officiant conducting the service. This can be tailored to your requests with readings, songs and prayers.
Hopcraft Funeral Directors will assist you in every step of the funeral and burial arrangements so please don’t hesitate to ask us about any aspects or queries you may have.
What Happens During a Graveside Burial?
A graveside service is a short scripted ceremony held at the gravesite. It usually follows a longer and larger church service and funeral procession to the cemetery. Sometimes families forego the church service, hearse or walking procession, however, and simply hold the funeral at the gravesite.
You might also consider a graveside service because you would rather celebrate your loved one’s life outdoors. Maybe you or your loved one isn’t religious or you wouldn’t want to go to a place of worship or a chapel, and a natural setting may be more of a fit.
