Making memories since 1979
We have helped many Ipswich families celebrate the life and loss of their loved ones. For nearly half a century our funeral services have continued to remain compassionate, professional, and understanding.
Making memories since 1979
The decision on the type of funeral service to choose is often influenced by family traditions and preferences, as well as the wishes of the deceased. You may opt for a service at a church followed by a cortege to the cemetery or crematorium for the final committal. Alternatively, you may prefer to hold the entire service at the church, crematorium chapel, or graveside. A private committal for family members only at the cemetery or crematorium is also an option you can consider.
There is no set formula for a funeral service, and Len Russell Funerals provides a modern funeral chapel that can seat up to 80-100 people for your convenience. The chapel is suitable for burial, cremation, or memorial services, and you have the flexibility to hold the entire service in the chapel or choose to have a committal service at the cemetery or crematorium after the chapel service.
professional floral arrangements
Flowers can play a significant role in funerals, reflecting the unique personality of the deceased. Len Russell Funerals offers professional floral arrangement services and can assist you in selecting flowers for the funeral. You may choose to place flower arrangements on the coffin at the church, crematorium, or graveside as a final tribute, or scatter flower petals into the grave.
balloon & butterfly release
Releasing a balloon or butterfly can be a meaningful tribute during a funeral service. It can represent letting go of a loved one's earthly life and sending them on their journey. This can be particularly comforting for children. At Len Russell Funerals, we can assist you in arranging this tribute if it is something you wish to include in the service.

Although this isn't an exhaustive list, families often like to add extra personal touches to the funeral ceremony. If you have something else in mind please let us know. Each of these optional extras can be added to a funeral service to create a more personalised and meaningful tribute to the deceased.
01
To help personalise a funeral service you may choose to add a favourite piece of music to be played. Perhaps a singer for the funeral service may help also.
02
As an additional help to making a memorable funeral, you may choose to have a Memorial Book for the funeral. This book contains all the details of the funeral and the names of who attended.
03
This symbolic gesture involves releasing a graceful white dove into the sky, symbolising the peaceful transition of the departed soul.
04
We have a number personalised funeral services for coffins and urns to add that extra unique touch. For example, we can print a design onto the coffin such as a rainforest, flowers, or ocean waves.
05
If you pick a memorial service in our chapel we can also organise catering for you. This is provided by a 3rd party supplier who will provide catering refreshments for all of your guests.
06
As a complimentary service, we publish an online obituary on social media with details about the funeral and the deceased. We encourage you to share it with family and friends to make sure that it reaches the appropriate people.
