Making the funeral arrangements

Funerals are changing. People are becoming more aware of the alternatives available to them. Each funeral is individual because each family is different.

Every funeral arrangement should be appropriate for the person who has died and for the bereaved. Whether that is something simple or more elaborate, we are here to ensure that the best possible result is achieved. Please feel free to discuss any particular or unusual requests - our advice is free and without obligation. As funeral directors, we are here to help and advise you in whatever way we can. All our staff are fully trained and professional. Arrangements can be made at one of our offices or in the comfort of your own home.

Apart from registering the death, we will, with your considered instructions attend to all the details required. We will take responsibility for organizing the chosen venue for the funeral service (if appropriate) and committal and for securing the services or an appropriate minister or officiant. This could be for any religion or indeed, for no religion (e.g. humanist) if desired.

We will keep you aware of the cost as the arrangements progress.

Once the funeral arrangements have been agreed, we ask you to sign our funeral-costing sheet thereby contracting us to complete the funeral in accordance with your instructions and agreeing to pay the costs.

We will send a full written estimate of the costs.

The estimate is divided into two separate parts, the funeral directors charges and disbursements (fees paid out on your behalf). The funeral director is not responsible for setting these disbursement fees. We simply collect them and pass them onto the various authorities.

Disbursements are payable to the company by the client prior to the funeral.

The final account will be rendered to the client 4-5 days after the funeral (unless required earlier) and full payment is expected within 60 days of the invoice date.
