Funeral Options
We can present you with all the available options to create a truly unique funeral for the person who has died. The basic decision of burial or cremation* has to be made but that is where the limits end. There is no requirement to have a formal service of any kind if that would not be appropriate. There is no right or wrong way of doing things.
We can provide set funeral options that you can then tailor to suit your individual requirements, or work with you to create a totally bespoke funeral.
*In addition to burial or cremation we can also arrange burials at sea, and give advice on donations to medical research.
