Honouring Farewells Through Tradition and Choice
Saying goodbye is one of life’s most profound moments — a time when families gather to remember, reflect, and celebrate a life lived with meaning. At Black Tulip Funerals, we believe that farewells should bring peace, not pressure. Families shouldn’t have to choose between the familiarity of tradition and the simplicity of modern care. That’s why our viewing plus cremation service offers the best of both — preserving the grace of traditional cremation while ensuring every step is handled with warmth, dignity, and understanding.
Why Families Choose Viewing Plus Cremation
A traditional cremation with a viewing gives families a moment of pause — a time to be together, to see their loved one resting peacefully, and to say a personal goodbye before the final act of cremation. This gentle moment of farewell helps bring emotional closure and allows reflection in a calm, comforting space.
Many families find solace in the ritual of the viewing. Surrounded by flowers, candles, and familiar faces, it becomes a heartfelt opportunity to express love, share memories, and find strength in one another. Whether through prayers, readings, or quiet moments of reflection, the viewing honours both faith and family connection.
It is often the simplest gestures — holding a hand, whispering a final message, placing a flower — that help families begin the process of healing.

Maintaining the Spirit of Tradition
Every farewell is unique, and every family brings their own traditions and beliefs. Our role is to honour those customs while offering comfort and flexibility.
Whether it’s including meaningful readings, favourite songs, or a floral arrangement that captures the personality of your loved one, our team ensures that the service reflects who they were — beautifully and authentically.
Some families choose a chapel or crematorium for the viewing; others prefer an intimate home setting. Regardless of location, we handle each arrangement with care and quiet professionalism, ensuring the experience feels personal, peaceful, and true to your family’s values.
Through our traditional cremation service, we preserve the essence of ceremony while allowing families to adapt the details — blending reverence with practicality.
A Comforting and Affordable Farewell
At Black Tulip Funerals, we believe that compassion should never come at a cost of clarity. Our viewing plus cremation option provides an accessible way to say goodbye, allowing families to honour their loved ones in a meaningful yet manageable way.
We know that farewells are not defined by grandeur, but by sincerity. Every service we arrange is crafted with empathy, care, and the deep understanding that love deserves to be honoured, not hurried.
Because at the heart of every goodbye lies the same truth — that love endures. And at Black Tulip Funerals, we’re here to help you honour that love with dignity, grace, and timeless respect.
