Preserving Heritage Through Meaningful Rituals

Buddhist funerals are rich in tradition, symbolism, and reverence for ancestry. At Newhaven Funerals, we’re experienced in coordinating services that may include:

  • Ancestral altars and memorial offerings
  • Burning of incense and joss paper (spirit money)
  • Traditional dress codes and mourning practices
  • Ceremonial chanting
  • Funeral processions and eulogies
  • Post-funeral observances such as the 49-day mourning period

We work closely with families to ensure every element of the service reflects their wishes and cultural values.

We are deeply honoured to have been entrusted with supporting the care of His Late Holiness, the Venerable Vanna Choum, whose passing in 2025 was felt profoundly throughout the Buddhist community. His life was one of compassion, wisdom, and spiritual guidance, and it has been a privilege for our team to assist his family and community during this important time of remembrance. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the trust placed in us, and respectfully acknowledge the lasting legacy His Late Holiness leaves behind.
