Peace & Tranquility

As the years have passed funeral requirements have changed, and we have realised a need for a private chapel of rest for the family’s use. This is a tranquil, peaceful and private environment where the family can pay their last respects together as a family.

Helping With Arrangements

We understand that arranging a funeral can be overwhelming and we put together a list a few things you may want to consider when planning a funeral

Contact your local GP to certify the death (if the deceased passed away at home)
Register the death with the local Registrar
Check if the deceased had a “pre-planned” funeral arrangement
Make viewing arrangements for mourners prior to the funeral (eg, our Chapel of Rest or the family home)
We will write and arrange funeral notices in the appropriate newspapers.
Decide whether a burial or cremation is preferred
Decide on a date and time for the funeral service and make contact with the clergy
Discuss the funeral/graveside service arrangements with the church, chapel, cemetery or crematorium, etc
Should mourners send flowers and/or donations to a charity?
Arrange food/refreshments for after the funeral. Where will this reception be held?

A Touching Testimonial

It isn’t every family that takes the time and trouble to express their feelings in writing to us, especially in their time of grief, but when someone writes a truly outstanding commendation of our service and commitment, it is only natural that we want to share it with others……

Dear Chris
On behalf of my wife Sue and close family members of my father Albert, I wish to formally express our sincere thanks and gratitude for making a difficult experience manageable. Having looked after my mother twelve years ago, we could not think of putting dad in anyone else’s safe hands.

From our first meeting we were comforted by the relaxed yet professional manner in which we found ourselves; unfortunately the process was protracted due to the involvement of the Coroner, but we got there eventually.

We would like to especially thank Mike who finalised our journey. He guided us through the most difficult days, with professionalism, compassion and humour, and for that we are eternally grateful, so I wish our personal thanks to be expressed to him.
Yours sincerely
