Honoring Life
Honoring a life can be done in many different ways, A church service maybe, or a service at the crematorium first, followed on, at a later date with a memorial service, or then again maybe you just prefer a family service at one of our local crematoriums. Planting a tree in memory of your loved one is a nice idea, buying a piece of jewellery in memory of your loved one. Taking your loved ones ashes home in a beautiful urn, keeping them close to you. Keeping a memory book full of the things you and your loved one enjoyed doing together,or seeing together, special walks, special memories, special photographs. However you wish to deal with your loss, we are here to help you in any way we can, with anything you want, or need.
We will cater to your every need, if you wish it, whether it is a church service for your family, a memorial service at a later date after a cremation service, or perhaps you prefer just a family service at the crematorium, or maybe a green burial or a graveside service. We can cater for your service sheets, and for your floral tributes by our in house florist. We have our own in house Funeral Celebrant, Mrs Carol Jacklin, who's services are arranged completely around your family, if you read the testimonial page on this website it will give you a picture of the service we give to our families. If you prefer, we can arrange for a religious minister to give you a full religious service at either his/her church or at the crematorium.
