How our prices compare with others
You're probably wondering...
Arranging a funeral often brings questions you've never had to ask before. Here are some of the things families ask us most often. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, just give us a call. We're always happy to help.
What should I do when someone dies? The first step is simply to give us a call. Whether the death has occurred at home, in hospital, in a care home or elsewhere, we'll explain exactly what needs to happen next and guide you through each step. You don't need to have all the answers before you pick up the phone. That's what we're here for.
How quickly can you help? We're available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Once you contact us, we'll arrange for your loved one to be brought into our care as soon as possible and begin making the necessary arrangements with you.
Can I visit my loved one before the funeral? Yes, absolutely. We know that spending time with your loved one can be incredibly important, and we never charge for visits. Viewings take place in our private Chapel of Rest on Redwood Drive, and we'll always do our best to arrange a time that suits you and your family.
Do you embalm? No. We believe in allowing nature to take its course and therefore do not routinely embalm those in our care. For many families, particularly those choosing a natural burial, this approach feels more in keeping with their wishes. If you have any questions about what this means, we'll be happy to explain everything in more detail.
What kind of coffin can we choose? Every funeral includes a simple eco-friendly cardboard casket as standard. If you'd prefer something different, we also offer a wide selection of traditional wooden coffins, beautifully handcrafted natural wicker caskets and bespoke options that can be personalised to reflect your loved one's personality or wishes.
