Our funeral director, David & all of the team at Gilpin Lodge are the most empathetic, considerate & helpful people, whilst still maintaining a superb standard of professionalism. Unfortunately this is the second family funeral I have had to arrange within the past six months & I can not thank them enough for their support during both. I would not hesitate in recommending them, as both funerals were conducted with such care & attention. Even at this difficult time, with all the restrictions, both funerals felt very personal to all our family.

5 Beverley Knox 10th Jan 2021

Couldn't have asked for anyone to be more caring and supportive than the staff at Houghton Co Op Funeral Care - especially Funeral Director, Simon. He was genuinely interested in us as a family and explained everything that was to happen and options open to us. A distressing time was made as stress-free and light-hearted as is possible in these circumstances. Thank you so much.

David Simm and his staff were throughout professional, courteous and respectful. David ensured that we were given as much help and support that we needed during the difficult two weeks. It was a comfort to know that they were only a telephone call away whenever it was needed. I would fully recommend them. With many thanks Kay O'Hara

We were so happy that in spite of Covid restrictions, Dad's funeral was a lovely one. The balance of professionalism & genuine warmth shown towards us put us all at ease from start to finish. Thankyou so much.
5 Karen Peel 14th Dec 2020

I dealt with David at the Houghton branch, I can’t fault him at all, from beginning to end always kind and professional, excellent communication from himself and other staff, listened to what we wanted and went above and beyond to make sure everything was as we had asked, a bereavement is a devastating time for any family but once Harry was taken to Houghton David’s reassurance made us feel like Harry was being looked after , even in death and that is what you need to know for peace of mind, a credit to your company

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.
