The Burial Funeral Service
​(Our Charges £2,015.00 plus Disbursements) 

A Burial following a funeral service in a Church, a Crematorium Chapel or an alternative Funeral Venue, can often be seen as the Traditional way to lay a loved one to rest, especially if there is an existing grave in a Cemetery or Churchyard. If the burial is to take place in an existing grave where there is a family member who has already been laid to rest, we will liaise with the appropriate Authorities on your behalf,  to ensure there is appropriate room for the Burial. We will advise you on the forms that are required for burial and in some instances, there may be a need to change grave ownership to allow for a headstone or memorial to be placed on the grave, again, we will guide you through that process.

Some families wish to have a Natural or Woodland Burial, we can advise on suitable Burial Grounds within the local area that offer this kind of Burial Option. 

All arrangements can take place at either one our Funeral Homes or in the comfort of your own, by an agreed appointment.

We personally, look after all the Funeral Arrangements, offering our Help and Guidance to you during your time of bereavement leading up to, including and after the funeral itself.

​Please Note: As Funeral Directors, we are unable to register the death of a loved one, however, we will guide you every step of way, to ensure this procedure is taken care of as smoothly as possible for you.
Our Burial Funeral Service includes the following:-
​
  • Conveyance of your loved one from place of death to our Chapel of Rest, within 30 miles.
​​
  • Care of the Deceased up to and including the Funeral.

  • Our Professional Services,  meeting at one of our offices or in the comfort of your own home, offering our advice and guidance when making the funeral arrangements of your loved one and providing our care to you as a family leading up to, including and after the funeral service.

  • A fully lined Plain Oak Veneer Coffin complete with fittings suitable for Burial.
          (Alternative Coffin options are available and can be discussed at the time of making the Funeral Arrangements)

​  
  • Use of our Chapel of Rest to spend time with your loved one, at any time by an agreed appointment.
 
  • Provision of our black Norwood Hybrid Hearse​ and necessary staff  to convey your loved one from our Chapel of Rest to the Church via a private address or special route.
​
  • Provision of a temporary grave marker to signify your loved one's resting place until a headstone or memorial can be placed on the grave.​
