The Funeral 

The funeral can be as formal or informal as you feel is appropriate.  Sometimes the deceased will have left specific instructions, but more often than not it will be left to the family to decide on the detailed arrangements. Traditionally the cortege will leave from the home of the person who has died. We will provide the number of limousines required, these can carry six people (possibly seven by prior arrangement). Alternatively after leaving our premises the hearse can go directly to the service and will meet the mourners there. 

You may know who you would like to conduct the service, if not we will discuss this with you and make the necessary arrangements. These may be for a religious or a non-religious service.  

It is an important part of our service to help ensure that the service is as personal and as appropriate as possible. We will take time to discuss this with you and can provide music, suggest readings, print orders of service, place death notices and handle flowers or donations on your behalf.  If you wish we will also arrange visits to our Chapel of Rest. 

It is worth mentioning that while most funerals take place in church or a crematorium chapel, there are no legal restrictions regarding the form of service, where it can be held or who can conduct the service.
