It’s perfectly normal to be unsure of what you need to do following the death of a loved one. This guide and checklist will explain the first steps you need to take so you can start making any necessary funeral arrangements.
Our guide to funeral arrangements will help you arrange a fitting funeral for your loved one. Learn more about funeral flowers, popular songs for funerals, our range of coffins and how to write a memorable eulogy.
This guide will explain what happens at a funeral; including the funeral procession, funeral service, committal service and the wake. We will be here to help you through every step of the journey.
Once the funeral service is completed, there are often other matters that will need to be dealt with. This could be regarding legal affairs of the deceased, arranging memorials, or coping with grief. Our funeral professionals can advise you on all of these matters.
From 1st visit to the final journey the manner in which the lady conducted herself was lovely. Not making it a sad and morbid occaision but realising the sensitivity of dealing with a death. Nothing was pushed on us yet everything was explained in as much detail as needed. Obviuosly an emotional time and one in which our heads werent in the right place for thinking logically but with guidance all the details were put in place knowing that they were only a phone call away if we were unsure or needed to change anything. Communication was extremely good and nothing too much trouble. A very sad occaision made into a lovely service with options we hadnt even thought of. As a family we felt as if we were cared for as much as the deceased. A fabulous company handled with the upmost respect.
