The Funeral
Arranging a funeral can be especially difficult, when a family member or loved one dies. We are here to help, assist and advise you to provide a unique tribute to their life.
We have access to a fleet of vehicles to meet your needs.
There is a range of funeral transport options available. The usual choice of vehicle is the motorised hearse, followed by a number of limousines of your choice to transport close friends and family of the deceased to and from the ceremony.
However, other types of funeral transport are available including:
We will, of course, advise on availability, practicality and costs on a range of available funeral transport options.
Choosing something more unusual can help make a funeral a fitting tribute to your loved one and the list above is not exhaustive of the range of options available.
Please discuss your thoughts and ideas with us and we will do everything we can to help.
The hearse and following vehicles are known as a ‘cortege.’ We will, of course, discuss at length where the cortege will travel to and from and if you would like the cortege to take a particular route.
As the deceased’s final journey, you may wish the cortege to travel a special route to the ceremony in order to pass a point of significance to the deceased (such as a place of work or leisure).

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.
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.
