A Guide to our Services and Costs

We personally look after all the Funeral arrangements, offering our help and guidance to you during your time of bereavement, leading up to, including and after the Funeral itself.
We realise that every family we are privileged to look after are different, so therefore, their funeral service must reflect the life that they lived. We will work with you during the arrangement to tailor your loved ones Funeral Service to any specific requirement, no matter how simple or elaborate your request's may be, we can help to make the final goodbye, a special one. 
We have private arranging rooms at both our Funeral Homes, but we are equally happy to come to your home if that suits you better. It may take several meetings to finalise all the details, so, therefore you do not need to feel pressured into making all the decisions at the first meeting.
Our funeral costings are made up of two elements, our funeral director charges and the third party fee's known as the disbursements, such as Crematoria / Church fees, Burial fees, officiant fee, flowers, newspaper notices and printed order of service sheets. 
From alternative vehicles to bespoke coffins we are happy to assist you in making the final farewell of your loved one to be a special and unique tribute to them.
If you choose a Burial, we can advise on the different options available including churchyard, cemeteries, natural and woodland burial grounds.
One of the first things to consider before you arrange the funeral service, is whether the funeral is going to be a Cremation or Burial.
