Our Service to You
Your dedicated and expert funeral arranger will support and guide you at every stage to help you create a funeral unique and personal to the life of your loved one.
We will complete the arrangements with you, wherever and whenever you wish. Whether that’s at our premises, your home or over the phone.
We will advise and guide you on all aspects of the funeral, including liaising with the necessary third parties on your behalf.
We will prepare and distribute all the documentation and manage external payments that are required for the funeral to legally proceed at the selected setting.
We will provide a complimentary online Funeral Notice: a personalised webpage that provides all the essential details of the funeral in one convenient place for you to share and keep family and friends informed.
We will remain available for aftercare, advice, guidance, and additional services as required, including access to Dignity Legal Services (except in Scotland, Jersey and Northern Ireland).
