With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.
If you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary funeral with a service, you should consider our Attended Funeral. If you want us to arrange a simple cremation without mourners present, our Unattended Funeral may better suit your needs.
View our Standardised Price List, Additional Options Price List and Crematoria Price List.
Our Attended Funeral includes care of your loved one, a Park Coffin, a service at the place of committal which can be personalised as required for your loved one, followed by a burial or cremation.
Our Unattended Funeral will best suit your needs if you want to arrange a simple and straightforward cremation without a service or ceremony, allowing you and your loved one's friends and family to commemorate them in your own way.
Choose from a variety of options, including headstones and urns to memorial plaques, vases, statues, jewellery and plenty more. With a Memorial, you can create a tribute that especially reflects the life, love and cherished memories of your loved one.

We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and as such we abide by The Funeral Director Code. We also have a legal obligation to try and ensure the person who is arranging a funeral has the right to do so, or has permission from those who do.
If you are aware that someone has been appointed as the administrator, you should only arrange the funeral with this person's agreement.
If there is no Will or Letters of Administration, then the responsibility would pass to the next of kin.

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.
From start to finish the service was first class and they couldnt do enough throughout. With the staff being efficient and very comforting and compassionate

Thank you for posting your review online. I am pleased to hear that you found our staff to be professional and respectful and that you confided in us as a team to take care of your loved one.
Very happy with the whole service provided by Ian and the team.
Thank you for your review. I am glad that you and the family were well cared for.
I cannot praise this professional, respectful family of funeral directors enough. Throughout our ordeal they have been calming, respectful and helpful with all the things that need to be done when you loose a loved one. Our Dad passed away on the 21st August and after the doctor had been and gone, I called Birks. Even at 9.45pm at night, they were pleasant, helpful and calming. They came for my Dad within half on hour of me making the call. When they arrived to take Dad to the chapel of rest, they respectfully stood back whilst we all said goodbye to our Dad and then calmly and respectfully laid my Dad down and treat him with such dignity and respect. On the day of the funeral, the 5th September, I could not believe how smart and respectful they looked and the car was beautiful. When they took Dad into the crematorium, they even bowed in respect to him, which brought a massive tear to my eye.
Thank you so much all the staff at Birks for everything you have done for us to help us through this traumatic, sad time. I would highly recommend you to anybody who has lost a loved one.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
