This option is without limitation offering access to our full range of services and giving the option to completely personalise the service.

This option is ideal for those looking to use alternative vehicles and alternative coffin and allows you to truly break the mould and find comfort in your own balance between tradition and individuality; offering you the freedom to truly embark on a day to remember that will become a real part of the life remembered.

The cost of this option is fully itemised and varies in accordance with the choices and decisions being made. This leaves us unable to give total cost at this stage.

When looking at the cost of a funeral it is usually broken down into two sections.

The first section is the Funeral Directors fees, with the second section being the third party fees, often called the disbursements or external cost.
