A Bennett & Sons are here for you
The first step in arranging a funeral is choosing the right funeral director. We’ve been helping families arrange funeral services in for over a century and always ensure they receive the highest standard of care.
Emotional support, practical advice
Losing a loved one is often a great shock to those left behind. When this happens, it’s important you get the support you need, whether it’s the early hours of the morning or the middle of the day. Because of this, we are here for you 24 hours a day.
As soon as we are contacted, your loved one will be brought into our care and you will be given access to a dedicated funeral arranger, who will guide you through each step at your own pace. They can talk you through all of the paperwork required to register the death and advise of the timeline which will follow.
We will, when you feel ready, help you make informed decisions about the funeral and handle all arrangements on your behalf. We do all we can so that you can concentrate on the needs of yourself and your family.

We will, when you feel ready, help you make informed decisions about the funeral and handle all arrangements on your behalf. We do all we can so that you can concentrate on the needs of yourself and your family.
Your loved one will be collected in a purpose-built, specialist vehicle and will rest peacefully in our state-of-the-art, climate-controlled facilities. There they will be cared for continually in accordance with any requested religious practice.

But it doesn't end there. As part of the support our funeral directors offer to every family dealing with the loss of a loved one, they also help out with the administrative side of bereavement. This includes guidance on what paperwork is required, along with advice to ensure it is completed correctly and, where necessary, within a timely manner.
