Our Price Guarantee
As human beings, we are all unique and this applies to all the milestones in our lives – birth, marriage and finally death.
Each is a right of passage which we plan and personalise in our own way and there is no ‘standard’ formula for that.
We are legally required to display a ‘Standardised Price List’. There is a problem with this – we don’t know any ‘Standardised’ people and therefore, in our opinion, it’s not very helpful.
Funeral directors publicise a confusing array of information about the cost of a funeral, and you have to be really careful to look at the small print as the headline figure is usually only the starting point.
In actual fact all funeral directors’ charges are pretty similar (we know because we check) and we will guarantee to match or improve on any offer you have seen, but to do this we need to have a conversation. After that we will very quickly be able to give you an accurate all-inclusive cost without the worry of hidden extras.
There is also the option of unattended cremation (often referred to as direct cremation) and this is essentially a disposal service offered by the companies that advertise it, with little or no help and guidance or face-to-face contact.
We can do this too, plus you will get as much personal as you need.
