ARRANGING THE FUNERAL

Arranging a funeral is not something any of us would want to do, especially in the case of a close relative. This together with the distress and emotional upset leaves the bereaved unsure of what to do next. It is exactly this situation that we understand and cope with. We endeavour under any and every circumstance to provide the bereaved with full and fair information about all the services we can provide. The arrangements themselves can be made at our office or at your home and at a time convenient to yourselves.

On initial contact we will ask for preliminary details whereupon we may advise you as to the removal of the deceased to our Chapels of Rest as soon as possible. We would then arrange a suitable time to meet and make the final arrangements.

Note: We are able to arrange all types of religious & non religious services.
