Arranging a Funeral
When you have to make funeral arrangements this can be a daunting task for you. My aim is to make you feel at ease either in the comfort of your own home or at my premises where the kettle is always on.
During the arrangements we would discuss a range of options with you, these would be whether it is to be burial or cremation, the ceremony itself be it religious or non religious, the number of vehicles required, floral tributes, newspaper announcements. My aim is to cater for all needs and to take the burden from you as much as possible.
When the arrangements are complete you will be provided with a full written estimate of our charges and the disbursements incurred, you will also have a written confirmation of the day, date and time of the funeral.
