The decision of the type of clothing you may like to see your loved one placed in can be based on a lot of different ideas. What did they like to wear? Was there something they wore particularly a lot of the time? What were they comfortable in? At Graham Family if the family choose not to provide clothing we will use an appropriate shroud.
The difference is basically one of design. Coffins are tapered at the head and foot and wide at the shoulders. Caskets are rectangular in shape and are usually constructed of better quality timbers and feature higher standards of workmanship. The decision to select a coffin or casket is made by the family according to their personal preference.
A traditional grave is one that may have monumental work and kerbing over the area within the boundaries of the grave site. A lawn grave which cannot be enclosed with kerbing is located within a grassed area with only a headstone made of natural stone placed at the head of the grave.
It may take up to three weeks for the registrar of births, deaths and marriages to process the information and send the death certificate. In some cases such as coronial inquiries, it can take longer. An application for a registered death certificate can be made at Service Tasmania.
It is the family's choice whether jewellery items be removed as a keepsake or left on their loved one. If a cremation is chosen and the choice is made to leave jewellery on your loved one, given its soft compound it will disintegrate in the cremation process.
Usually within a day after cremation, however arrangements can be made for the ashes to be collected on the same day as the cremation if requested.
Graham Family's staff will treat every person in their care with reverence and respect. They are treated as if the family were present at all times. The staffs at Graham Family treat your loved one as part of our family when you entrust a loved one into our care.
At Graham Family the only thing removed from the coffin or casket prior to a cremation is the nameplate. This stays with the remains to ensure correct identification. The coffin and its hardware are cremated entirely and any metals or screws are removed from the ash by use of a magnet after the cremation is concluded.
