Choosing Clothing
Many families find comfort in choosing the clothes their loved one will wear.
You may choose:
- Their own favourite clothes.
- Smart or formal clothing.
- Casual clothing that reflects their personality.
- Nightwear, if that feels more appropriate.
- A gown supplied by the funeral director.
Please ensure any clothing you provide is clean and freshly laundered. It is also helpful to check pockets for valuables or personal items before bringing the clothing to your funeral director.
Jewellery and Personal Belongings
Many families choose to leave jewellery or special personal items with their loved one.
- Leave a wedding ring on.
- Leave a favourite necklace, bracelet or watch.
- Include a cherished photograph.
- Place a handwritten letter or card in the coffin.
- Include a small keepsake or memento.
- Place a favourite blanket, soft toy or other comforting item with a child.
Other families prefer valuable or sentimental jewellery to be removed and returned to them before the funeral.
