Supporting you along the way

We understand that there is a lot to think about, so if you do need assistance with your loved one's funeral arrangements, our funeral experts will offer you all the support you need.

What to do when someone dies

What to do when someone dies

It’s perfectly normal to be unsure of what you need to do following the death of a loved one. These step-by-step guides will carefully explain everything you need to when someone dies, helping you through each stage of the process.

Planning a funeral

Planning a funeral

Our guides on planning a funeral will ensure your loved one's send off is a personal and unique celebration of their life. We will explain how our Funeral Directors will help you plan a funeral service and support you at every stage.

The day of the funeral

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.

Frequently asked questions

When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.

You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.

A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.

Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

My experience,after my Father passed away, with Ginns and Gutteridge Funeral Directors was excellent. The organisational stage was very straightforward, Gemma was very helpful, she explained things clearly and was in regular contact throughout the planning. Francis, the funeral director took the time to visit our home before hand to check the location and on the day everything went perfectly. It seems wrong to use the word lovely for a funeral, but it really was! From when the hearse arrived Francis and his team were exemplary. So smartly dressed and respectful. Lots of small touches throughout, that showed so much care and dignity for my Dad. Tim the celebrant they recommended was exceptional. Having such a beautiful tribute really has helped our family through the grief.

The entire team at Gunn’s & Gutteridge are just incredible. They help and support you through a difficult time and are always at the end of the phone/email to ensure your plans are completed exactly as you want them. They are friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Our family couldn’t have asked for a better place to support us through both our mum & dads funerals. Thank you all so much.

Thank you to all the staff at Ginns & Gutteridge especially Francis who ensure my late father's cremation went smoothly and with no fuss.

We were kept informed at all times and any questions were answered quickly.

I would recommend this service to others.

We started with a very nice conversation with francis, who helped us by passing us to our local branch where we met jack, he helped us sort out the whole procedure with a very calm and relaxed attitude , which helped us as not only were we emotional wrecked but also very anxious , i jumped in with questions that were in the middle of the procedure, he was flexible and happy to go at any order or speed we wanted, we laughed , i cried but jack was brilliant, he made it possible for us to see mum before the funeral and how good she looked, at peace and pain free at last, the funeral was stress free, francis took the funeral on without any problems, everything went as planned , tim ran the service wonderfully , all those that attended commented on how great it was

We would like to thank all those involved in making our day less painful

Francis and his team at Ginns and Gutteridge did a fantastic job with our Mother’s funeral at Bramcote Crematorium on the 7th of April.

Particularly Francis showed amazing warmth, professionalism and gave the whole event an air of polished precision.

Lovely job from all involved including Jack who did the family meeting and arrangements.

A heartfelt thank you to all.
