Part of our service is to offer you transport to the registrars; should you need it. We can collect you from home, wait while you are with the registrar and then return you home.
A funeral service is typically led by an individual, this can be of a faith or not, it could even be a relative or family friend.
It is a time of reflection to celebrate and give thanks for the life that has been lived and acknowledge the achievements and loves of the individual that has died. There may be a time of mourning during the service where we wish to sit quietly, or listen to music; a time of reflection.
The service may contain prayers, religious readings and hymns or it may be a more modern service where prayers, religious readings and hymns are replaced with poems, personal readings and music.
The service may take place before the burial or cremation or the service may take place following the burial or cremation. This may be directly after or it may be some time even days later.
Your loved one may have discussed with you what type of service they wished for. They may have chosen music, hymns, readings.
We will support and guide you through the journey of creating the perfect and fitting service. One that encapsulates the love, the character and the life of your loved one.
We often think of these two words as the type of funeral that we have chosen for our loved one or the type of funeral that our loved one had chosen for themselves.
Burial or Cremation is the way in which your loved one will be laid to rest. It is the final part of the day of funeral, the part of the the day where we say our final farewell, good bye or see you later.
A full burial will provide a grave, a place where you can return to be close to your loved one, a quiet space to reflect and talk. In England we can bury our loved ones in a number of places from a churchyard or cemetery to a natural burial site or even at home.
There is an opportunity to create an ever lasting memorial in the laying of a headstone or rose bush, the choice is endless, depending on location.
A cremation will provide you with the ashes; or cremated remains as some like to quote. This then gives you the opportunity to lay those ashes to rest in a place that is special.
That may be at home with you, at a natural burial site or in the favourite location that you shared or simply scatter at the crematorium.
We will explore your thoughts and feelings with you. Costs may be a factor when making your decision.
Grieving is the outward expression of our loss. You may be learning to live with a recent loss or you may be a little time in following your loss.
Our bereavement support group is a safe and welcoming space for you to talk and share memories, feelings and fears you may be experiencing.
Talking about grief and gaining support for the days, months and years ahead is vital.
It allows you to process your experience and opens the door to begin to understand your own emotions.
The physical pain that is felt following a loss can last for many months or even years. It can be debilitating, consuming your whole being. Connecting with those that can relate to the physical and mental pain of losing someone can make you feel less alone.
Facing the new reality is daunting and can be traumatic. You may never have spoken about your grief before. Talking with others may give you the words to express some of the feelings that you struggle with.
You may be trying to protect those around you, by remaining strong and suppressing your needs. Supporting children through loss can be tough; especially if you are dealing with the loss of the same special person.
Loss through suicide brings a whole range of emotions from anger to feelings of; the person you knew would never have taken their own life.
The loss of a child can be the most intensely painful experience you can go through. The loss of your future hopes and dreams.
We can support and put you in touch with professionals that can make the journey a little more bearable and help you understand some of the feelings that you may be experiencing.
