The Full Service Funeral
Our Full Service Funeral provides a truly personal service, delivered to the highest standards and arranged to meet your exact requirements. This way, you get to say goodbye to your loved one in the manner that means the most to you.
Whether you decide upon a burial or a cremation, The Full Service Funeral ensures the most personalised service, which can be as reflective of your loved one's life as you wish. Any additional services or details, such as the route of the procession, are yours to choose as you see fit.
Our Service to You
Our team of funeral directors and arrangers is available to support you during this difficult time. We will ensure you have our professional help and guidance when it comes to deciding how you want your loved one's funeral to proceed.
With The Full Service Funeral the choices are up to you, so you can have as little or as much input on the arrangements as you wish. Whether you want a traditional service, or you have your mind set on something a little more unique, such as a colourful celebration of your loved one's life, perhaps with an alternative or customised hearse, our team will use their expertise to make it happen.
While in our care, your loved one will always be treated with respect and continually attended to, as they rest in our climate-controlled mortuary. They will be dressed in the clothing of your choice, or, if you prefer, a simple gown, and you can visit them in our private chapel of rest at an agreed time.
The total estimated cost includes a walnut effect satin finish coffin with lining and fittings. However, for an additional cost, you can choose an alternative from our range of coffins and caskets.
