    Types of funerals

    There are a number of different types of funerals available. Which one you choose will depend on your beliefs, or those of your loved one and whether you chose a burial or cremation. Cremation is the most popular form of funeral with a service at the crematorium, in a church or other venue prior to the cremation.

    If you’d like something a bit different, personalised or less formal than a traditional service, we can support, guide and inspire you to create a farewell that is a true celebration of life.

    Products & Services

    Funerals are incredibly personal so everything will be built around your needs. Please do let us know if you have any special requests and we’ll do our best to help.

    We’ll listen to you and let you choose the level of support you would like, while guiding you through the practical and legal requirements.
