When you suffer bereavement, a funeral for a member of your family is the most difficult day of your life. Everything your family and friends thought about a loved one is expressed on that day.

When someone dies it becomes a great shock, sometimes the death may be expected, but nothing prepares you for the emotional shock of losing someone close.

As a family run independent funeral director company we are dedicated professionals who provide a personal service to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our services start as soon as you contact us and continue often way beyond the day of the funeral.

On initial contact we will ask for preliminary details, whereupon if the deceased has died at home or in a nursing home we will advise the conveyance of the deceased to our private chapel.

We would then ask at a time and place to suit the family, the funeral director to call and arrange the funeral to a standard and procedure that meets the needs and requirements of those concerned.

The funeral account itself is divided into two separate parts, the funeral directors charges and the disbursements. These contain our professional fees which include the provision of a 24 hour a day on call rota, our professional service on making the arrangements and the documentation and necessary personal attendances, the conveyance of the deceased to our private chapel and the use of the same till the day of the funeral.

The hearse for the funeral with chauffeur and sufficient bearers are also an essential part of our service to you, especially when your familys request is to go into church or place of worship, because, unless requested otherwise, we carry the coffin on our shoulders both into and out of the church. This we believe is the ultimate in reverence and respect, and reflects or past traditions.

Limousines are charged for separately. The charge for limousines is fully inclusive to cover transport from the address at which your family requires to be picked up, through to your return of your final destination, within a limited distance. Each limousine is chauffeur driven and will normally carry up to six mourners.
