Our Services

The Funeral Service

Whether you require a Church of England, Methodist or Catholic service we will contact the minister of your chosen church/chapel to make arrangements for their minister to meet with you to discuss the type of service you would like.

You may chose to have a service in a church or chapel followed by a short committal service at the crematorium or you may wish

to have all the service at the crematorium.

Sometimes families prefer to have the committal service at the crematorium first followed by a Memorial Service in Church/Chapel.

If you would prefer a non-religious ceremony we can organise a Civil Celebrant to officiate at the crematorium.

In the case of a burial service, if a cemetery burial plot has already been purchased, you should have received

a burial deed issued by the cemetery clerk.

We can purchase new plots on your behalf if they have not already been purchased.

Most burial grounds locally are cemeteries, but there are some churchyards in use.

Direct (unattended) Funerals

We also offer direct (unattended) funerals.

This is where the deceased is taken to the crematorium/graveside by us but there is no funeral service or attending mourners.

Please note with this service there is also no viewing of the deceased.

See our Standardised Price List.

Music, Poems and Readings

You may chose hymns, a favourite piece of music or a mixture of both and include a poem or reading if you wish.  

Order of Service

We print Order of Service sheets in house and you can choose to have a photograph of your loved

one on the cover or a cross instead.We are more than happy to discuss your own ideas.

We also print attendance cards which are given out at the service

for mourners to write their names and a message to the family if they wish.

Flowers And  Donations

Many people choose to have floral tributes from close family only and ask for donations to a chosen charity instead.

We forward on the donations to the charity on your behalf around two weeks after the service.

You will then receive a letter of acknowledgement/thanks from them.

Some families prefer just floral tributes and no donations.

We will always advise you what time we need the flowers delivered to our Chapel of Rest so you can tell the florist

when you arrange them.You may wish to take your flowers away after the crematorium service.

Coffins

Whether you chose a traditional oak coffin, willow or one printed with a favourite scene we can arrange it.

Transport to the Service

You can either travel to the service in your own vehicle or we can arrange a limousine car to collect you.

A hearse is what the majority of families choose for transporting their loved one to the service but  there are many other modes of transport we can arrange including a horse drawn  hearse or motorcycle hearse.

Newspaper notices 

We can arrange for an announcement to be placed in your local newspapers or in the national press

to notify people the details of the service.

Chapel of Rest Visits

Our private, modern, purpose built Chapel of Rest provides a peaceful place for your last goodbyes to a loved one.

Visits to the Chapel of Rest are by appointment.

We realise that it is often difficult for family members to arrange time off  from work, even at times of a bereavement so, as we live just opposite the Chapel of Rest, we can sometimes offer appointments in the early evening or a Saturday morning for you

to visit if work commitments prevent you from visiting in normal working hours.

There is no extra charge for this.

We have ample off street parking and you are welcome to take as long as you need.
