Pallbearers

Honouring Your Loved One with Care and Respect

At Regency Funeral Directors, we understand the profound importance of every detail during a funeral service. One of the most significant roles is that of the pallbearer, who is entrusted with carrying the coffin and ensuring a dignified farewell for your loved one.


Pallbearers are individuals chosen to carry the coffin or casket during a funeral ceremony. Traditionally, they are close family members or friends of the deceased, selected to honour their loved one by accompanying them on their final journey. Pallbearers can either carry the casket on their shoulders or use a wheeled bier, depending on the type of service and personal preferences.

To ensure that this important responsibility is carried out with the utmost respect and professionalism, Regency always provides experienced pallbearers for every service. Our team of pallbearers is trained to handle this delicate task with care, compassion, and attention to detail, ensuring that everything proceeds smoothly and safely. We believe it’s important to remove any potential stress from your family during this time, allowing you to focus on honouring your loved one.


Number of Pallbearers Needed


Typically, a traditional casket requires four to six pallbearers. This number may vary depending on the size and weight of the casket and the specifics of the ceremony. At Regency Funeral Directors, we can assist you in determining the appropriate number of pallbearers based on your needs and the arrangements you've chosen.
