Freezer box services, when your family needs a little time
Sometimes a funeral cannot take place on the first day — a son is flying home, or the family must wait for an auspicious time. A freezer box lets your loved one rest at home, peacefully, while everyone gathers.
What is usually involved
-
Delivery and setup
The freezer box is brought to your home and set up by the team.
-
Viewing
Most freezer boxes have a glass lid so family and visitors can see their loved one.
-
Power
It needs a steady electricity supply. We will tell you what is required and how to plan for power cuts.
-
Collection
The box is collected after the family leaves for the funeral.
Please let us know early
Availability can vary, especially at night or in some areas. The earlier you contact us, the more we can help. If the death is not expected to be certified straight away, keep the medical certificate or hospital papers safe — they will be needed later.
Common questions
How long can a freezer box be used?
Usually for a day or two while the family gathers. For longer periods, a mortuary may be more suitable; we can explain both.
Does it need special electrical wiring?
A normal household socket is usually enough, but the box needs continuous power. We will confirm the requirements for the unit you receive.
