Direct Cremations
Our direct cremations are carried out at a local crematorium and your loved one stays with us throughout the entirety of the arrangements. They will also be conveyed to the crematorium by us in our hearse.
For families wishing to have a more intimate service while benefitting from the savings associated with a direct cremation, we offer the use of our James’ Chapel for a small service or gathering of up to 3 hours the day before the cremation. For more information please contact us or take a look at the funeral costs tab.
Religious Funerals
We work with all faiths and pride ourselves on helping meet the requirements of all cultural traditions.
Civil and Humanist funerals
We also have a lot of experience with Civil and Humanist Celebrants.
Coffins and Urns
We have a variety of coffins, urns and keeps sakes available including Traditional Style, Environmentally Friendly and Contemporary Designs.
Traditional Style Hearse & Limousine
Our own hearse and limousine are based on a Mercedes Benz E class saloon. They have been with us since January of 2018 as part of our main fleet vehicles.
Horse Drawn Hearse
There are various different carriages to choose from depending on your preference and a selection of horses ranging in breed and colour. There is also the option to have outriders or rein lead horses.
Alternative Vehicles
Alternative vehicles such as a VW camper van or motorcycle and side cart are available on request.
Flowers
We work with all local florists to ensure any flowers that are ordered are on the funeral and well looked after. We do offer the choice of having the flowers added to the funeral account and can even do the ordering for you. This service is done in partnership with The Flower Room.

Service Sheets
The service sheets we provide are completely customisable as we design and print them all in house, this gives us more time to get them designed how you would like and gives more flexibility in the lead time before the funeral.

James’ Chapel of Rest
We have a bright and open chapel of rest which gives families a space for them to come and spend some time with their loved ones. We also use this space for small services or gatherings with seating for up to 20 people and further standing room. This space allows for intimate services and can bring down the funeral costs if followed by a direct cremation or burial.
Donations
We support you in collecting donations in memory of your loved one, this can be to any charity of your choice in a variety of ways. We will provide a donation box on the day, setup an online donation page and accept donations sent into our office. Once the donation account is closed you will receive and letter notifying you of the amount that has been collected.
