There are no easy answers when trying to help a bereaved family come to terms with their loss. Every situation is unique and for me, gathering together the smallest of details is the key to providing an excellent service, even in the saddest of circumstances.

What to do when someone dies
Report
When a death occurs at home, you will need to contact your family doctor (or doctor on call) who will issue a medical certificate of death. Most families prefer their loved one to be taken to the chapel of rest as soon as possible and this can be arranged by telephoning us at any time. The nursing staff or administrative officer will advise the next of kin and arrange for them to collect the medical certificate of death.
Arranging a funeral
Report
Arrange a date and time for the funeral, according to your instructions. We will contact the church, cemetery or crematorium and/or the person who will be conducting the service, to arrange a mutually convenient date and time. Transfer the deceased to their premises, or provide practical assistance to allow the deceased to remain at home prior to the funeral, if this is your request.
Burial or Cremation
Report
A churchyard or cemetery is the most common place of burial, however you can also choose to be buried in a woodland site or at sea. Some families have a family plot within a cemetery. You can choose to hold the funeral service at the crematorium itself or at a church beforehand if preferred.
After cremation some families keep their loved ones ashes in a casket as a memorial, whilst others prefer to have them buried in a churchyard or cemetery or scatter them in a sentimental place.We offer a large choice of memorials and headstones from skilled craftsmen.
