We are here to make a very special occasion run smoothly. Before we start it is important to check whether the deceased left any specific instructions, in their Will for example, about their funeral, or wished their body to be given for medical research, or organs to be donated for transplantation.

If there is a Will, the executor has the right to decide whether it will be a burial or a cremation, whether the Will expresses a particular wish or not. If there is no Will, the next of kin should decide. It is important to check whether the deceased has already made arrangements for their own funeral, or carried any funeral insurance.

You will need to make early decisions regarding:

when the service will happen (day, date, time)
here it will happen (church, cremation chapel, cemetery chapel, graveside, elsewhere)
whether it will be a burial, cremation or other.

We can make all the arrangements for the funeral, burial or cremation, religious or secular service. We can also advise you on all the procedures and documents needed to register the death.

If you are considering a headstone most cemeteries will advise to wait for a period of approximately six months before placing it in order to allow the ground to settle. However, we recommend you start the process as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary delay after the initial waiting period.
