Our Service to You

Our Funeral Directors will use years of experience to help arrange a service that reflects your loved one and their life. From the moment we take them into our care to the funeral and beyond, you can count on us for guidance and support.

We want to make arranging a funeral as straightforward as possible for you. When you choose our Chapel Service, you will be introduced to a professional funeral arranger, who will guide you through all the steps required to put together the ideal farewell.

Your funeral arranger will plan the service with you in our funeral home, or over the telephone, depending on what suits you best. They will also work with any necessary third parties on your behalf, managing any paperwork or payments required for the funeral to go ahead.

We will also provide a complimentary Funeral Notice on our website to commemorate the life of your loved one. Here, people attending the funeral can find details of the service and any additional information in one, convenient place.

Once the service and cremation have been carried out, you can still count on us for aftercare, advice, guidance and further assistance.

Please note that the estimated total cost of The Chapel Service (shown in the table) includes a basic coffin with lining and fittings. We have a wide choice of alternative coffins and caskets available for an additional cost. You can take a look at these in the “Service Details” section below.
