The traditional funeral service will be included in a simple funeral, but in general, they are defined by uncomplicated arrangements, less elaborate coffins and fewer ancillary services.

Costs will be lower if the funeral is at the start or the end of a working day.

Funerals are evolving, and people are more willing to express their wishes about what they want from their own funeral by leaving instructions to their families. Simple funerals are often requested by the deceased to decrease the stress and cost on their families.
