You can always rely on us to be here to guide and assist you every step of the way. Arrangements for a funeral can be made in the comfort and privacy of our light and friendly funeral home. Should you prefer however, to make funeral arrangements in familiar more surroundings, we are happy to visit you in your own home or even your place of work, if you have access to a private space or meeting room there.

Our funeral arrangers will walk you through every step of the procedure. They will explain all the processes and costs clearly and will take care to ensure that you understand and are entirely happy with every last detail. In the event that your loved one left specific instructions, a will or pre-paid funeral plan, then we will work with you to carry out their last wishes.

At the end of the meeting, your funeral arranger will provide you with a fully itemised estimate, for your information and personal records.
