Funeral Service Options

Compassionate Support for Every Step of the Journey

Choosing how to honour a loved one is a deeply personal decision. At Mount Pleasant Group, we offer a range of funeral service options designed to reflect individual values, cultural traditions and personal wishes. Whether you're planning a quiet farewell or a vibrant celebration, our experienced team is here to guide you with care, empathy and professionalism.

Visitation

A visitation offers a meaningful opportunity for friends and family to gather, share memories and support one another. Held before the funeral service, it provides a quiet space for reflection and connection. Visitation may include an open or closed casket, or an urn, and is typically hosted in a welcoming room designed for comfort and privacy.

Service

A funeral service is a formal event that honours the life of the deceased. Led by an officiant, spiritual leader or family member, services can be customized to include music, readings, tributes and cultural or religious rituals. Whether held in a gathering hall, community space or graveside, our team will help you create a meaningful experience that reflects your loved one’s life and legacy.

Ritualistic elements related to religion and culture, including specific floral arrangements, clothing and other adornments, are often part of a service. These options, as well as other special requests, need to be relayed to the funeral representative as part of the planning.

Reception

Following the service, a reception offers a relaxed setting for guests to connect, share stories and offer support. Receptions often include food and beverages, music and personal touches that reflect the life of the deceased. We offer flexible spaces and catering options to suit your needs and preferences.

Celebration of Life

A Celebration of Life focuses on joy, remembrance and storytelling. Often less formal than a traditional funeral, these gatherings highlight the unique personality, passions and impact of the person being honoured. They may include photos, music, video tributes and personal anecdotes – all tailored to reflect the spirit of your loved one. Our team can help you plan a celebration that feels authentic, uplifting and deeply personal.
