Services
Traditional Funeral Service
Our Traditional Funeral Service provides comprehensive arrangements including coffin selection, floral tributes, and ceremony coordination. With over 70 years of expertise, we ensure every detail reflects the family's wishes while handling all logistical aspects professionally. This service includes disbursements for cemetery fees and third-party providers, offering a dignified farewell tailored to individual preferences.
Simple Funeral Service
The Simple Funeral Service offers a cost-effective cremation option with essential arrangements managed by our qualified directors. We handle all necessary paperwork and logistics while maintaining the same compassionate approach. This service includes disbursements and allows families to personalise elements like coffin choice and memorial tributes within budgetary constraints.
Direct Cremation
Our Direct Cremation package provides a straightforward, all-inclusive option with no additional disbursements. The process is completed efficiently while maintaining dignity and respect, with cremation fees included in the fixed price. Families receive ashes for private memorialisation, ideal for those preferring simplicity or planning a separate celebration of life.
Home Visits
We offer home visits to assist families with funeral planning in familiar surroundings. Our experienced team provides guidance on all service options, documentation, and logistical arrangements at no extra charge. This service ensures accessibility for those unable to visit our premises while maintaining the same professional standards and compassionate support.
Prepaid Funeral Plans
Golden Charter funeral plans allow individuals to pre-arrange and pre-pay for their funeral services. This option locks in current prices and relieves loved ones of financial and organisational burdens. Plans can be customised with specific preferences while offering flexibility through payment options and nationwide coverage for future needs.
