We offer a complete 24 hour funeral service covering all areas and we are here to advise you on all aspects of arranging a funeral and to make you aware of the choices available to you.
We also arrange pre-paid funerals through Golden Charter. A funeral plan is an easy way to plan ahead. You choose the funeral you want and fix the cost of your funeral director’s services at today’s prices. A plan can save your family worry and expense, and help make things easier for your loved ones at a difficult time. When the time comes, just one phone call to your funeral director is all that’s needed to activate your plan. Everything will then be taken care of, and carried out according to your wishes, relieving your family of the stress and financial worry they may otherwise have to face.
