Neil & Sonya Milsted Independent Funeral Directors & Memorial

As your funeral director we will help and guide you through the number of decisions you will need to make when planning a funeral. We will be able to offer advice, and help you with all the different aspects by explaining to you the full range of services that we are able to provide. On your behalf we will make all the arrangements with Ministers, Clergy, cemeteries and crematoria, as well as liaising with all other third parties as required.

Here at our funeral home, we provide a range of environmentally friendly coffins for both adults and children with matching cremated remains caskets, which are 100% biodegradable. Each coffin is hand made using traditional skills in villages (not factories) which help support the rural economies.

Willow is a fast-growing eco-friendly and sustainable material, which benefits from regular cropping, it absorbs and locks in carbon dioxide during growth.If buried this CO2 remains locked away, and if cremated only the same quantity is released back into the environment making all our eco-friendly range of coffins carbon neutral.

Traditional funerals have changed in many ways over recent years, families are requesting a more personalised funeral service that takes care of their needs, which remains dignified but unique in every way. We have created a range of colourful coffins with matching caskets in various styles and designs for you to choose from.

However hard we try to contain our own costs there are some third party expenses, known as disbursements, outside our control that contribute to the increasing cost of a funeral. So a prepaid funeral plan makes perfect sense both as a personal and financial decision.

It can be a very secure and economic way of providing for the future cost of a funeral as well as giving peace of mind that all the arrangements have been made in accordance with your wishes.With over a million plans sold in the UK we are seeing an increasing number of families experience a sense of relief when they discover their loved one had already arranged and paid for their funeral.

The hearse and limousines with chauffeur and sufficient bearers form an important part of the service we provide. Limousines are charged for separately. This ensures that a family are not charged for something they may not need, or you may require the provisions of a horse-drawn hearse and following limousines.
