It is an honour to support Bahá’í families with funeral services that respectfully reflect the teachings and traditions of the Bahá’í Faith, including prayer, simplicity, and meaningful customs that uphold the dignity of the departed and provide comfort to loved ones.

Orthodox Funeral Specialists

At A Gentle Touch Funerals, we understand the deep spiritual and cultural significance of Orthodox funeral traditions, and we are committed to helping families honour their loved one with dignity, respect, and compassion. Our experienced team can assist with every aspect of arranging a traditional Orthodox funeral, including coordinating with the family’s priest and church, organising prayer services and viewings, and ensuring important customs are carefully observed throughout the service.

We understand the importance of traditions such as the Trisagion prayer service, the use of incense and candles, the offering of koliva as a symbol of resurrection and eternal life, and burial practices that reflect the Orthodox faith. Our role is to provide caring guidance and support during this difficult time, while helping families create a meaningful farewell that respects their faith, heritage, and personal wishes.
