Funeral Arrangements
For the Somerset & Weston-super-Mare Areas

The planning of a funeral service can be a daunting task, and we are here to help and assist you throughout the proceedings. We strive to achieve the highest possible standard of personal care to the family and the deceased. We aim to provide compassionate funeral services to clients throughout the Somerset and Weston-super-Mare areas.

We can conduct all meetings in the comfort of your own home, but you may visit our offices if you prefer. We will follow your instructions and make all the necessary arrangements to plan the service you require and make this a lasting memory.

When it comes to funeral arrangements there are certain matters which need consideration, including:

  • The registration of the death. 
  • The wishes of the deceased, which may be contained in a will. 
  • The decision as to whether the funeral will be a cremation or a burial. 
  • The day and time of the funeral service.  
  • The choice of a coffin. 
  • The wording of the newspaper notice. 
  • The choice of floral tributes. 
  • Whether there is a request for donations. 
  • Printing and planning of the orders of service. 
  • Whether the family wish to spend time in our private chapel.  
  • The charges involved with the funeral service.
Although most of the funerals we conduct take place locally in the Somerset and Weston-super-Mare areas, we can arrange funerals in other parts of the country, and indeed the repatriation of the deceased to and from abroad. The main decision when arranging a funeral is whether the service is to be a burial or cremation. Religious beliefs will also be taken into consideration.

You Have Options

We can arrange cremation services and advise on the choice of the crematorium. When cremation is chosen, it is important to consider the decision over the final resting place of the ashes. Traditionally, cremated remains can be entombed in a columbarium, buried in a plot, or buried in an urn garden. The family can also choose to keep the remains.

We can also arrange burial services. We will discuss the available choices with you and can offer a burial in a local cemetery, or churchyard. It is important to remember, however, that depending on where you live, 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 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 alternative methods of transportation, including the splendour of a traditional horse-drawn hearse. 

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

We have our own private Chapel of Rest where you may spend time with your loved one. We will dress the deceased in their own clothing, or we can provide something more elegant if you prefer. 

We will liaise with our stonemason as to any future memorial stone that may be required.

We are happy to advise and arrange any function you may require after the service and take care of the catering.
