Burials & Cremations

Losing a loved one is an inherently challenging experience, marked by profound grief and numerous practical considerations. During such a sensitive time, the burden of arranging a final farewell can feel overwhelming. At Ridgeway Funeral Service, we understand the delicate nature of this period and are dedicated to providing compassionate, professional, and comprehensive burial and cremation services throughout Oxfordshire.

Burials in Oxfordshire

When it comes to burials, Ridgeway Funeral Services can coordinate with the cemetery, graveyard, or burial site of your choice to ensure that the funeral and burial arrangements are seamless. Most cemeteries offer a chapel or chamber where the service can be held, but you may have a specific church or other location with special significance where you would prefer the ceremony. We can work with various venues to accommodate your preference and make sure everything runs smoothly.

If your family already has an existing burial site, we can assist in making arrangements to reopen it for the upcoming burial. Our experienced team will liaise with the relevant authorities and manage the necessary preparations. We understand the importance of preserving family traditions and ensuring that your loved one is laid to rest in a meaningful and dignified manner.
