    Due to corona *** and age group due to attend, I am afraid it was a reduced service, 4 family members only. In very unfortunate circumstances and late change to arrangements, once again Teresa proved to be a wonderful asset to your company. With many thanks to Richard who too, had to alter service arrangements.

    We are really sorry that the current Coronavirus situation has caused additional distress at this already upsetting time but we are glad that Teresa and her team were able to help guide you throughout. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you arrange a funeral?

You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.

What are disbursements?

Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.

How can I get help with funeral costs?

If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
