Our Services To The Family - £1,100.00
We will advise and guide you on all aspects of making funeral arrangements to your individual requirements.

To Receive Your Loved One Into Our Care from £280.00
We will attend the place where your loved one has passed away to convey them into our care, using a specialist vehicle and appropriate equipment.
(Additional charges would occur when we need to travel over 20 miles).
Taking Care Of Your Loved One £350.00
Once your loved one is resting in our care, at our Private Chapel of Rest they will be treated with the utmost care, respect and dignity. We will cleanse and prepare your loved one according to your wishes and then dress them in their personal clothes or a funeral robe of a chosen colour.
You may wish to visit your loved one and pay your last respects at our Chapel of Rest, and can do so at a time to suit you, including after office hours and weekends.
