Arrangements To Make

We will gladly sit down with you at our offices or at your home and discuss ways in which we as funeral directors can take some of the burden of arrangements, particularly contacting the Minister, the Crematorium, Cemetery or arranging where the death certificate can be collected from.Arrangements

The first step is to decide if the funeral is to be a burial service or cremation, whether the funeral is to take place in a church or just at the crematorium or cemetery. You will be asked if you would like; special music or hymns you would like to have played, the number of limoussines you would like to follow the hearse, if any. You may also have special wishes regarding flowers or donations to a charity, you may wish help with the newspapers and to arrange refreshments for your family at home or a local hotel.

However, there are one or two duties that as funeral directors we cannot carry out and which must be performed by the deceased's family or other authorised individual, these include registering the death and probate
