Once you have registered the death, you can then make an appointment to see us and arrange the funeral

Here's a few things to think about.....

• Would you like to visit the chapel of rest?
• Have you decided whether the funeral service will be burial or cremation?
• Is the funeral to be a religious or non-religious service?
• Do you have your own vicar ?
• Have you decided where you would like the funeral service to take place?
• Do your family members require limousine transport for the funeral or will you be using your own cars?
