Support the family ...
At Francis Chappell & Sons Funeral Directors, every day is different. At least one funeral director remains on call outside of normal opening hours, meaning we are available 24 hours a day. If somebody passes away at home during the night, there is always a professional ready and waiting to attend to the deceased, meet the family and provide support.
While care for the departed is a crucial part of the role, it is equally important to consider their loved ones. As part of our duty of care, we act to support those left behind and help to ease their concerns at this difficult time. It is inevitable that those experiencing loss will have choices to make regarding the funeral, and we are on hand to give them the confidence they need to reach those decisions.
