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 start to finish the whole team were amazing. Approachable easy to speak with and understanding. They went above and beyond throughout our time of grief. Everything was explained with ease as due to covid these are extra challenging times. Thank you all.

The staff at Charles Wood went out of their way to ensure that we could give Dad the best send off possible in these difficult circumstances, they helped us find a replacement vicar for the church service and advised of all the options at the crematoriums in the area in order that we could invite all Dad's close family members. Their help and advice was invaluable at what was a very difficult and upsetting time for us.
