Your sitting room or ours? In normal times, we will invite you to the sitting room at our premises to plan the details of the funeral - or we will come to see you at home if that is easier for you. During the Pandemic, we have created a host of ways of helping you to plan, whilst keeping you safe, and these include some additioonal facilities that we supply freely to all families to help you to support each other too and to include people both distancing and physically at a distance. We have also craeted a Service Hall that will seat 40 people during normal times, but during the pandemic, can safely host up to 20 family members, seated in bubbles, for a full, gentle and kinder service than you can experience these days at teh severly restricted crematoria.
Cremation or Burial choices You may have already made a decision about cremation or burial but we will advise and help if you need to discuss these options. In the case of burial, we have the expertise to assist with cemetery searches etc and in the case of cremation, we will supply you with information to help you and your family choose an option that feels right for you when you feel ready to discuss what you might wish to do with the cremated remains.
