Manicured gardens and tranquil rural views create a calming backdrop, and the grounds include a peaceful Garden of Remembrance for cremated remains, where relatives can spend time in quiet reflection.
The modern, welcoming chapel seats up to 100 people, with the flexibility to accommodate larger gatherings, and provides a respectful space for cremation, burial or memorial services. The chapel is well equipped for personal tributes, with a hearing loop for those with hearing difficulties, a music system offering favourite songs or live organ accompaniment, and webcam streaming for loved ones who cannot be there in person.
Services may be faith-based or entirely non-religious – each farewell is treated with care, dignity and compassion. Standard service times run in one-hour slots with the option to extend, and services outside normal hours, including weekends, may be possible depending on availability.
Whether you are faced with arranging a funeral now for someone you love, or you would like to put plans in place for your own funeral in the future, we are here to help you shape a farewell that truly reflects the life being remembered.
If someone has died, we’ll take care of all the arrangements as quickly as needed, supporting you to create a fitting send-off with or without a service while looking after your loved one with the utmost respect.
If you are considering planning ahead, our prepaid funeral plans enable you to organise and fund your funeral in advance. This means your preferences are clearly set out, the costs are secured, and your family is spared additional worry at an already difficult time.
From the moment you contact us to the day of the funeral and in the time that follows, we will be by your side with continued support.
In the days following a bereavement, making practical arrangements can feel overwhelming. We are here to support you through each step, taking care of the details with sensitivity and ensuring your loved one is treated with dignity, compassion and respect.
We believe every funeral should be as unique as the person it’s for. We will help you plan a farewell that feels appropriate, whether that is a modest family-led ceremony, a traditional attended service, or a no-fuss direct cremation with no attendees.
Arrange a funeral with a service on a day and time that suits your family. Your dedicated funeral planner will take care of every detail, ensuring the arrangements reflect your wishes, including music choices and any special requests.
We offer flexible options, whether you would prefer a smaller, more intimate cremation service for close family and friends or a larger gathering. Each funeral can be adapted to meet your preferences and budget. Additional features such as a hearse, limousine, or officiant are available should you wish to include them.
A direct cremation is ideal for those who don’t like funerals or who don’t want a fuss. Although there is no service, you can rest assured your funeral will be carried out to the highest standard by our funeral directors and staff. We treat those in our care with the utmost respect, and our chapel attendant bows a goodbye to every single coffin.
It may also suit families who want to say goodbye in their own way, at a time that feels right for them, or who are not able to gather for a funeral.
A prepaid funeral plan gives you the opportunity to pay for your funeral ahead of time, providing peace of mind for both you and those closest to you.
We offer a range of prepaid funeral plans to suit different needs, preferences and budgets. Whether you would like a funeral service for family and friends to pay their respects, or a simple, unattended direct cremation, your wishes will be clearly recorded and followed when the time comes.
You can choose to pay for your funeral plan upfront in a single payment or spread the cost across monthly instalments, subject to eligibility.
There are two options to choose from. The Personal Plan suits those wanting a smaller, simple service for close friends and family, held at an off-peak time to keep costs as low as possible. The Celebration of Life Plan allows for a fuller occasion, with no limits on the number of attendees and no time restrictions. Both plans allow for personal touches, including the choice of hearse, limousines, music and floral tributes, and the service may be led by family members or by an officiant.
This plan covers everything needed for a simple direct cremation, with nothing further for your family to pay. While there is no service, you can be confident your funeral will be conducted with dignity, respect and the highest standard of care.
We’re proud to lead the way in greener funeral choices. We pioneered electric cremation in the UK and actively monitor and reduce our mercury levels. We track our carbon footprint annually and aim for continued improvement.
