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.
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.

I recently had to entrust the services of Buchanan and Hogg funeral directors after the passing of my mother.
From the first initial contact with Sheree, myself and my sister were put at ease with what was already a very difficult time.
Sheree was a god send to us, taking us through the entire process including all the options that were available. This was done 2 days prior to my mum passing so to my mums delight, she got exactly what she wanted.
Sheree organised the customisation of the coffin my mum had selected, liaised with the cemetery and even arranged the celebrant, Kay, who was amazing.
I would highly recommend the services of Bucnana and Hogg to anyone who is looking for a first class, professional service.

The service we received from Lee-Ann at Buchanan and Hogg was excellent during the process of arranging mum's funeral. She was sympathetic, considerate and helpful in all our dealings with her. She kept in touch with us regularly whilst waiting for mum's service to take place and we knew we could contact her at any time if we had questions. On the day of mum's service the staff were all courteous and professional. Lee-Ann also arranged the celebrant, Gaynor, for us, who delivered a very moving and personal eulogy. Thank you all for your care and attention at a very difficult time.
