Arranging a funeral is something most of us will have to do at some point in our lives, and we know just what a confusing and distressing time it can be. Losing a friend or family member is never easy, and we are here to advise and assist you every step of the way when making arrangements for their funeral. We pride ourselves on offering a passionate, professional and high-quality service that is tailored to suit your needs and requirements. Whether you opt for a traditional funeral, a non-religious ceremony, a celebration of life, an eco-friendly burial or a multi-faith service, we are here to discuss your requirements to provide a funeral that is as unique as the life that was lived. Our support line and ongoing bereavement service are designed to help you through this difficult time. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you wish to visit the departed, we can facilitate as many visits for as long as you require. However, some people find the thought of visiting the deceased too upsetting. We promise to look after your loved one whilst they're in our care, giving them the dignity and compassion they deserve. We're able to offer an out of hours collection if needed, and we can also assist with national or international repatriation if required. We can provide order of service sheets, newspaper notices, and even video cast funerals for friends and family that are unable to attend the service for whatever reason.
