YOUR FUNERAL DIRECTOR

 

We perform a unique and indispensable role in society.  It is a role part professional, part vocation and part trade.  Our Funeral Directors are always available in your time of need.  We provide emotional support, expert and practical advice.

 

Service

You will experience the highest, most efficient standard of service in the area.

 

Expert Advice

The experience of the Funeral Director's sympathetic ear is all the more valuable because we are dealing with the practicalities of funerals on a daily basis.  Our Funeral Directors will listen to you, the bereaved, as you decide what sort of funeral you would like to have. 

 

We will inform you about the type of funerals available, the type of services, the forms to be filled in and the grants available.  As a matter of course we are kept up to date with any changes that may occur in Social Security regulations relating to funeral grants and payments.

 

Experience and Expertise

Our experience and expertise extends beyond that required on a day to day basis.  We are sympathetic to all irrespective of ethnicity or religious background.  Our Funeral Directors are aware of the special care involved in supporting those who have suffered a sudden death.

 

Training and Qualifications

Funeral Directors are trained and qualified to act as professional and confident advisors who ensure that arrangements are carried out with efficiency and the dignity that this most difficult occasion demands.

 

Compliance with Regulations

On a practical side, we ensure that all the necessary liaisons and deadlines are met and all the paperwork is completed and handed in at the right place at the right time.  A full written estimate detailing the costs will be given with every funeral arranged. This shows the Funeral Director's charges and details of the fees paid on behalf of the family.

 

We can call and see you or you may visit our Funeral Home. We will ensure that each and every detail is discussed with you thoroughly to ensure your wishes and those of the deceased are correctly carried out.

 

Documentation

On completion of cremation and doctors forms the certificates are taken to the relevant authorities along with other legal documents.  All documentation and discussions about the funeral will be retained for future reference by the family and by us.  Information is kept in absolute confidence.
