Personalising your child’s funeral allows you to create a meaningful and unique farewell that celebrates their brief but impactful life. At Victoria Funeral Home, we offer a variety of ways to personalise the service, including choosing specific themes, colours, or symbols that hold special significance. Families can incorporate personal items, such as a favourite toy, blanket, or special clothing, into the service or casket. Customised music playlists can be created to reflect the emotions you wish to convey, and bespoke floral arrangements can be designed with your preferred flowers or colours. We also provide options for creating memory boards, video tributes, and personalised keepsakes for attendees. Additionally, you can choose to include readings, poems, or songs that hold personal meaning. Our team will work closely with you to ensure that every detail is tailored to your wishes, creating a heartfelt tribute to your child.

Victoria Funeral Home is committed to providing compassionate support to families not just during the planning and service, but also in the weeks and months that follow. We understand the profound grief associated with the loss of a child and offer access to a variety of resources to help you through this challenging time. Our team can connect you with local counselling services, support groups, and online communities dedicated to bereaved parents. We offer follow-up care that includes checking in with families, providing grief literature, and guiding you toward long-term support options. For those who wish, we can assist in organising memorial events, such as anniversaries or special remembrance services. Additionally, our staff is always available to listen, offer guidance, and provide emotional support, ensuring you never feel alone. Our goal is to help you navigate your grief journey with the utmost care and compassion.

Planning an infant funeral in Aberdeen is an intensely personal process, and there are several considerations to ensure the service is meaningful. Begin by deciding between burial or cremation; both options are available and can be tailored to your preferences. You’ll need to select a venue, which could be a chapel, outdoor space, or a location with special significance to your family. Choosing elements such as music, readings, and symbols can help create a service that reflects your child’s spirit. Families often incorporate personal touches like customised caskets, urns, or keepsakes that represent their child’s unique personality. Consider the guest list carefully; some families prefer intimate gatherings, while others find comfort in a larger community presence. Additionally, it’s important to plan for ongoing remembrance, such as planting a tree or establishing a charitable donation in your child’s name. Our team is here to guide you through each decision with empathy and care.

Yes, Victoria Funeral Home offers the option of non-religious or secular ceremonies for families who prefer a service without religious overtones.

You can include elements such as poetry, stories, or memories shared by loved ones. Our experienced celebrants are skilled in crafting meaningful and heartfelt ceremonies that honour your child in a way that aligns with your values. We also provide guidance on creating a calming and supportive atmosphere, whether in our chapel, at a graveside, or a location of your choice, ensuring the service feels personal and deeply respectful.
