As independent Business Owners, Funeral Directors, and Undertakers, we ensure that one of us, will always be there during any initial and appointed, face to face meetings. Unlike some other firms, where you might not get to meet the owners, we are completely hands-on. And as such, we remain completely involved with your funeral arrangements. If you ask to meet us, then we will be there.
Unlike some funeral firms we use qualified staff for embalming and funeral directing. Our Funeral Directors are licensed by the British Institute of Funeral Directors, and embalmers are members of the British Institute of Embalming .Our premises are inspected by IFSO and National Association of Funeral Directors, The national trade bodies who ensure we keep to a high standard.
By upholding traditional religious and non-religious services, or more modern services, we provide everyone that comes to us with a respectful, bespoke service. We believe that for every life is unique, so is every funeral, and we are proud to offer a range of more unique options such as eco-funerals, a horse drawn hearse, or even a bugle player for a military funeral, so you can personalise your loved one’s service.
We understand that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all funeral; every funeral we arrange is as unique and individual as the life it commemorates. We strive to provide clients with a respectful, bespoke service where compassion and attention to detail is key.
Our experienced team is practiced in arranging services for families of all religious denominations and beliefs. We can take responsibility for every last detail of the funeral from helping guide you through the initial stages such as registering a death and deciding what sort of funeral service to choose right through to arranging cars, coffins, floristry, a memorial stone and all the other associated practical elements. This personalised approach means that you can be sure of receiving a quality of service that is second to none.
Our telephone line is manned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by a family member who will be able to provide assistance and guidance when you need it most.
Our team strives to be professional and understanding, and you can be as involved in the process as you need, whether you would like us to take care of everything or whether you want to oversee the personal touches yourself. We can take care of everything for you, from the coffin to the smaller details, such as the flowers, newspaper announcements and service sheets.
