The main decision when arranging a funeral is whether the service is to be a burial or cremation. Often, this will be discussed on a previous occasion. It may follow that other members of the family have been either cremated or buried, and the same is to be arranged again.

Religious beliefs are also taken into consideration and honoured.

We are able to arrange cremation services, with support and advice on the choice of the crematorium that the service is to take place in. When cremation is chosen, it is important to consider the decision over the final resting place of the ashes.

We are also able to arrange burial services. We will discuss the choices available with you and can offer a burial in a local Cemetery, Churchyard or Woodland area. It is important to remember however, that depending on where you live, that not all burials may be permitted in Churchyards due to limited space.

Transport to and from the place of service will need to be considered. We can provide limousines to take care of you from home, onto the place of service and then return after the funeral. We are also able to offer the traditional dignity of a horse drawn hearse. There is very little that can match the splendour of a horse drawn funeral service.

The choice of a coffin is indeed, very personal from one family to another. We offer a range of coffins from veneered to solid wood coffins. As an alternative, we can also offer bamboo, wicker and cardboard coffins.

The ultimate in coffin personalisation are the picture coffins. The entire coffin is covered by an extremely high quality stencil. Many, many standard designs are available, or alternatively we can use your very own digital photo and have this attached to the coffin.

We have our own private Chapel of Rest where you may spend time with your loved one. We always prefer to dress the deceased in their own clothing. This may be anything from a wedding dress, through to old gardening clothes to a Portsmouth football kit.
