What is the procedure at the crematorium on the day of the funeral?
The coffin is usually brought into the chapel and placed on to the catafalque before the mourners enter for the service. At the appropriate time, during the service, floral tributes can be placed on to the coffin and the coffin is either removed from view, by being lowered or by the closure of curtains. At the conclusion of the service, mourners are invited through to the lounge for refreshments.
