We offer this discount to help current and ex servicemen and women and their families. This offer is in memory of our father Sgt. William Kane, a lifelong career soldier with the Green Howards Yorkshire Regiment until his retirement when he then served as a uniformed Commissionaire.
Pride in our Military Heritage
We take a great pride in our military funerals and will work with families to invove current or former regiments, use of the standard, standard bearers, display of medals and attendance of the Royal Legion.
Having been taught to march in step and drilled by our dad when we just children, we take a great pride too in the dignity of the ceremony of a military funeral or funeral with military elements - from the Design of the Order of Service to the sourcing of regimental Padre officiants, to the marches and music. After all, if our father is looking down, it will be with a very critical (and hopefully proud) eye for detail!
