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.
