Arlington Funeral Services
Types of Funeral
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.
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, and caring for the ashes — scatter, bury, or keep in a meaningful place.
Additional Options
We also offer additional options, including a fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines available in-house, traditional or bespoke floral tributes, and the option to use personal clothing, 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, and woodland or natural burial grounds.
Additional Options for Burial
We also offer additional options for burial, including a fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, or a horse-drawn hearse on request, classic wreaths to personalised floral displays, and ensuring your loved one is dressed with dignity and care.
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 officiant and non-biodegradable materials. We can provide biodegradable coffins, support with choosing a natural burial ground, guidance on sustainable floral tributes, and clothing made from natural fibres.
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, and no procession or service on the day.
Your Wishes, Our Care
At Arlington, every decision is guided by your wishes. Our role is to listen, explain, and support — not to rush or influence. Whether you choose a simple farewell or a full traditional funeral, every detail is managed with professionalism and respect. We listen. We guide. We take care — one step at a time.
