Jewellery

We do not remove jewellery of any sort unless requested to do so. We would appreciate your decision as soon as possible. Any jewellery removed should be collected from our office before the funeral to avoid any possible error.

Hygienic treatment

Modern embalming or hygienic treatment is carried out in our own modern embalming theatre & ensures that relatives & friends who view a person have a memory of one who is peacefully asleep.

Our fleet of limousines seat 6 persons in comfort.

Horse drawn hearse

We offer a complete horse drawn funeral service with a team of two, four or six horses (black or white) with black or white mourning carriage.

Motorcycle hearse

For the motorcyclist, retired from the saddle or active to the end, what could be more appropriate than a unique & distinguished sidecar hearse for their final ride.

Flowers

Flowers can be ordered through us or through any florist. They can be delivered to our office or to your home before the service. Only at your request will we take flowers back home, or to a local hospice. There is no extra charge for this.

Printed service sheets

When a large congregation is expected at the funeral service there may be a wish to have special service sheets printed, giving the order of service & hymns. We can arrange for the printing of these in consultation with the officiating minister. It is important to let us know as soon as possible if this service is required.

Newspaper notices

We can help you compile obituary notices to be placed in any local & national newspaper giving brief details about the deceased & the date & time of the service.

Charitable donations

We are pleased to receive donations sent for named charities & will provide relatives with a list of donors.

Memorials

We can arrange for the removal of memorials etc so that burial can take place. We will on request submit a written estimate for any additional works you may require ie additional inscriptions, cleaning or renovation. We are also able to supply new memorials & a memorial brochure is available for these. Many churchyards & cemeteries have restrictions firmly enforced, regarding the size & types of memorials. Please check with us before the funeral on applicable regulations.

Doves

For centuries doves have symbolised peace. You can release a dove in memory of a loved one at a funeral. A single white dove, a pair of white doves or a dozen doves in one large basket can be released.
