A & J Morriss & Sons Funeral Directors & Memorial Craftsmen

Founded in 1990, we are an independent funeral director with 100 year's experience servicing the Croydon community. Our caring and compassionate funeral directors are highly qualified and will guide and help you through each part of planning a funeral. We take care of every detail to give your loved one a dignified and respectful funeral, as well as supporting you in this difficult time.

The death must be registered with your local registrar who will issue a death certificate. The first step is to contact the GP of the deceased. They can visit and confirm the patient has passed away and issue the medical Certificate of Cause of Death. You can then contact us to make arrangements for taking the deceased to the Chapel of Rest.

Tell the Registrar how many copies of the death certificate you will need. It's advisable to get more than one as different companies may want a certified copy (e.g. insurance companies, credit card companies etc.) Although it can be expensive, additional copies can be provided at a later date if needed.

Making Funeral Arrangements for your loved one can be a difficult and upsetting time. We're here to do all we can to help making arranging a funeral as easy as stress free as possible. We can help with low-cost funeral options as well as bespoke requirements. As well as our low-cost funeral plans, we can also offer bespoke services unique to the funeral of your loved one and a personalised service.

We understand that the loss of a loved one is an emotional and sometimes stressful time. As a general rule, if someone dies leaving Property in their Sole Name or owned as Tenants in Common, Insurance Policies, Stocks & Shares or has more than certain amounts with one Bank or Building Society, a Grant of Probate is required.
