Taking care of those dearly departed is one of our core roles, a role that we take seriously by ensuring they are looked after in accordance with the family’s wishes and that our facilities are maintained to the highest standards.
However, those experiencing loss will have some difficult choices to make regarding the funeral arrangements. It is our funeral directors’ honoured duty to reassure and listen to the family and support them, however they can, to enable them to make the funeral arrangement decisions confidently.
Additionally, our funeral directors are here to support with the more administrative side of bereavement. This includes guidance on what paperwork is required, along with advice to ensure it is completed correctly and in a timely manner.
