What Our Clients Say About Us
We’re very honoured that our clients choose to give us feedback about the service they received. We receive many thank you cards, which we proudly display in our funeral home. You can also read the online reviews our clients have written about us on Google.
Guiding You Through Every Decision
Over the coming days and weeks, there will be many decisions that will need to be made to create a funeral that is unique and personal to your loved one. We start by deciding on what type of funeral your loved one would prefer.
A Bespoke Funeral
If you would prefer a traditional cremation or burial funeral with a service or even a more modern celebration of life service, our Bespoke Funeral provides you with the greatest range of options for personalising the funeral.
Private Cremation
For family’s that want a quiet and simple farewell, an attended direct cremation allows for a small number of people to attend the crematorium for a short time, to witness the committal.
A Direct Cremation
This is a cremation that takes place without a service or mourners present. It provides a basic coffin, and the ashes are returned to you afterwards. We also offer you the choice to use one of our Chapels of Rest for a small attended service before the Direct Cremation to say goodbye. Some families choose to arrange their own service at a later date for the scattering or interment of the ashes.
