Buddhist Funeral
Harrison Funeral Home provides you with an expert and experienced team for a Buddhist funeral.
With years of experience under our belt, we are dedicated to helping family members commemorate the life of their loved one by sending the deceased on their final journey this lifetime with dignity, to help ease transition into the next.
We understand that for many families, bereavement is one of the most traumatic events one can face. Our experienced funeral arrangers assist you professionally throughout the planning of the funeral, in line with Buddhist customs and cultural traditions, helping you each step of the way. Since there are a number of Buddhist movements, we will work with you to establish your exact requirements, for example, some families may want a monk present at the time of encoffining whilst others may not. Also, you may wish to honour a specific waiting period between death and cremation to enable the deceased’s soul to transition. We will work with you to understand exactly what is needed and wanted.
Each of our funeral options (noted below) can be customised for Buddhist funeral traditions. In our experience, it is most common for Buddhists to opt for the direct cremation option and add to it where necessary (if at all).
Please contact us by telephone 24 hours a day, for expert help with Buddhist funeral arrangements.
“Enlightenment for a wave is the moment the wave realises it is water. At that moment, all fear of death disappears.”

Not enough stars to say about Harrison’s service to me and my family. Put my wife to rest in style and [with] compassion.
Thanks to all involved.

The team at Harrison gave my beloved husband such a fantastic send-off. They were respectful, professional, patient, and kind and it means so very much to his family that he was in such caring and safe hands.

There are many choices to be made when preparing your loved one’s funeral and we are here to help guide you every step of the way.
The first step is to decide between a cremation or burial. The next step is determining whether the funeral will be discrete, lavish, or somewhere between the two – we have options available for every budget. These choices can sometimes be difficult and our job is to help you with advice and share all of the available funeral options so that we deliver your loved one a final farewell that perfectly represents them.
