How long does a funeral ceremony last ?

A ceremony in a crematorium is normally around 30 minutes. However, some funeral directors have a small chapel within their building, in this case it can be longer. I have conducted a ceremony in such a building with just 25 close family and friends in attendance. We were not restricted on time and the ceremony was around one hour. Everyone left after around one and a half hours. This was a lovely, intimate, more unstructured gathering and it worked well. You could, alternatively, hire another space for such a ceremony.
