  • All necessary work to arrange the collection of the deceased, arrangement of the cremation or burial, conducting the funeral service and return of ashes (cremation only). This includes arrangement of the funeral in person with a named funeral director either by phone, video call, in our funeral home or in your home.

  • Choice of date and time of funeral between Monday and Friday (subject to availability). Saturday funerals are available for an additional fee.
  • Provision of a standard motor hearse to convey the deceased from our funeral home to the ceremony. This can include an interim stop at a residential address or similar location to meet mourners who wish to follow the cortege to the ceremony. We are also able to offer a range of alternative hearses. Examples include a horse drawn hearse, Land Rover hearse, truck hearse, VW camper hearse, motorcycle hearse etc – please ask us for further details.

  • An urn is not included (cremation only). The ashes will be returned to you in the receptacle provided by the crematorium which may be a box or plastic container. We have a choice of cremation urns and scatter tubes to purchase for an extra charge.

Third party costs
These costs are for essential, non-funeral director services required to carry out a cremation or burial, which need to be paid at the time of the funeral, these costs are outside the control of your funeral director.
