The Funeral

Talking about death and funerals isn’t easy. And yet there are several very good reasons why having a funeral plan in place makes perfect sense – from an emotional, practical and financial point of view.

The funeral service is a way of saying goodbye to someone who has died. We are here to take you through the decisions you need to make to ensure you can arrange the funeral you want for your loved one.

We offer a variety of coffins and urns, choose from the traditional wooden coffins to more unusual wicker or cardboard coffins.

We are able to give advice on all aspects of music for the funeral service and make the necessary arrangements.

A friend or relative may wish to say a few words during a service about the person who has died. This is called a eulogy.

Should you wish we will be able to assist you with the compilation and insertion of death announcements and acknowledgements in your local and/or national newspapers.

We have access to a fleet of vehicles to meet your needs. There is a range of funeral transport options available.

Some people find it comforting to see the person who has died and likes to bring a small gift or photograph to put in the coffin. Others find it upsetting to see someone they loved who is now dead.

Should you wish, this can be friends or relatives of the deceased, or we, of course, will be able to provide bearers to carry your loved one’s coffin.

We can help you with the ordering of funeral flowers and can also record or collect the card messages for you.

You may wish to produce booklets or leaflets detailing the order of service. We can print personalised orders of service on your behalf and can advise on layout and design.
