Arranging a funeral involves working not just with the bereaved but also requires liaison with third party product and service providers, to ensure all the pieces are in place for a meaningful and memorable farewell.
Among the main products and services we routinely provide as funeral directors are:
More and more people want to respond to a death positively and practically by collecting funeral donations to support a cause or thank a charity for support they may have received.
We are glad to be able to help you do this in both a personal and sensitive way by creating a “Much Loved Tribute” page on our website. This page is a space where family and friends can come together online to share their memories, stories, pictures, music and videos in various commemorative sections, such as Life Stories, Galleries, Timeline and Candles – a truly personal and unique tribute to your late loved one.
This page also comes with the software to securely process donations to a charity of your choice, and collect Gift Aid, along with the ability to display fundraising or memorial events taking place in memory of your dear departed.
All we need to set up the page is your email address and a favourite photograph of the deceased.
In addition to online donations, we can also manage donations collected directly in the name of your loved one for a chosen charity. We close charity accounts 28 days after the funeral and inform next of kin of the total received, before the charity contacts you to confirm receipt of the donations.
If you have any questions or would like to talk through your funeral arrangements, please get in touch with our friendly and experienced team.
When it comes to plots for burial or ashes interments, we pay the fees to the local authority or cemetery on your behalf, which includes the purchase of the EROB (Exclusive Right of Burial). This includes the right to erect a memorial plaque or headstone on the site.
If you want to scatter ashes at a crematorium in a designated garden of remembrance, there is generally no charge if the cremation took place there. Most crematoriums do, however, charge a fee for placing a memorial marker in the gardens.
Inevitably, usually not until after the funeral, thoughts will turn to putting in place a lasting memorial for your loved one, to provide a focal point for memories and reflection.
We can refer you to local memorial masons, but you will need to deal with them directly to arrange for the design, crafting and placement of headstones, tablets, plaques to commemorate your loved one.
Whatever it takes to give you peace of mind and ensure your loved one is honoured and remembered fittingly and respectfully, we will endeavour to achieve, whether it be personalised printed memory boxes, containers for ashes, or books of condolence. We can help you with the creation of memorial jewellery, or perhaps the siting of memorial bench.
