After the Service

After the funeral families may wish to:

• Consider options for a headstone or plaque by contacting our Funeral Director.
• Reply to sympathy cards and floral tribute cards.  Todd Gower Funeral Services can supply you with personalised "thank you" cards - please ask us for a quote.
• Consider placing a ‘thank you’ notice in the newspaper.
• Arrange for the ashes internment (that is, where to store or scatter the ashes). 

If you wish to be buried in a cemetery “outside” your rateable area, you will probably be charged an “out of district fee”.
 
Each cemetery in our region regulates what can occur by providing “bylaws” which are the rules under which Funeral Directors must operate.  If you request something outside the bylaws, you will be asked to negotiate with the sexton directly.

Cemetery Fees cover:  purchase of the plot, maintenance fees, interment fees, green matting, a grave marker and extra depth to allow for a second interment at a later date.
