Our Professional Services

Our professional fee includes everything that is essential to carry out a funeral. Many companies charge extra for the use of the hearse and bearers, which we believe gives a misleading figure to families wishing to compare professional fees. You can rest assured your loved one will remain in our care at your local office until the day of the funeral.

** Direct to Crematory or Burial is a practical, lower cost alternative offered by us to answer the specific requests of families who choose the most simple, dignified and economical means of arranging their loved one’s departure. In recent years we have seen an increase in interest in this option, which is often the wishes of the deceased themselves. The deceased is cremated or buried, at a date and time of our choosing, without any service or attendance at the crematorium or cemetery (this option is not available for churchyards). You can rest assured that your loved one will receive our usual level of respect and dignity throughout, including the use of our hearse, bearers and full ceremonial clothing. A memorial service can be arranged by yourself, if desired, at a time, date and location most convenient and most fitting to you.

After the funeral arrangements have been discussed, you will be required to pay a deposit or payment of cleared funds, within five working days of the funeral arrangements taking place, and this will be calculated on the type of funeral arrangements discussed. You will then be sent a written estimate or invoice of all the charges incurred, in line with the service you have requested.
