Excellent 5.0 out of 5 from 312 reviews on Trustpilot (as shown on Trustpilot, 9 November 2026)

The whole process of organising my uncles funeral was made much easier due to the support we were given. Ellen guided us through everything and the service, flowers and car were beautiful. We don’t live locally so relied on Ellen’s local knowledge. We couldn’t have asked for better care and kindness x

Questions

Frequently asked questions

See all frequently asked questions

Can the funeral be personalised?

Yes. Every funeral we arrange is bespoke. You might choose a religious or non-religious service, a burial, woodland burial, traditional churchyard burial or ashes scattered at sea, releasing white doves, a horse drawn hearse or an eco friendly willow coffin.

Can you arrange a horse drawn or motorcycle hearse?

Yes. We have built excellent links with horse drawn carriage companies, and we can also arrange a motorcycle hearse or a Land Rover. They are listed as additional options on our Standardised Price List.

What coffins can I choose from?

We offer a variety of coffins and caskets, from a traditional oak type coffin to a one off design that celebrates the life of your loved one. Our funeral directors will explain the details, construction and finishing options. A personal farewell does not need to mean an overly expensive coffin.
