Planning

We're ready to take your loved one into our care at any time, day or night.

Whatever sort of funeral you decide to have - large, small, simple, flamboyant, eco, humanist, traditional, contemporary or alternative - we're here to help make it special.

We always start by talking things through with you, as all our ceremonies and celebrations of life are personal in every detail, even if you’re choosing a direct cremation.

We can come to you or you can come to us – or we can arrange everything by phone, email and post if you prefer.

We'll give you a written estimate up-front, confirming arrangements, timings and costs.

We’ll proactively manage everything - and always keep you up to date with progress. We'll prepare a draft ‘Timeline and Words’ document to send to you, updated by us and sent to you whenever anything changes.

We'll help you with choosing a special or beautiful venue too if you'd like, indoors or outside - at home, in your garden, in a field or woods, a rural barn, by a lake or by the sea, in a village hall - as well as more traditional venues like a church, chapel or crematorium. We can also give you ideas and help with organising wakes and ashes ceremonies.

​

If you'd like, you can create a completely personal coffin and ashes container, visit our 'Creative ideas' page for info and photos.
