    Arrange a Personal funeral service

    from £1,975

    Our Personal funeral is ideal if you’d like a cremation with a service for a small gathering of your closest family and friends, and at an off-peak time to be more cost-efficient. The funeral will take place at a Memoria crematoria or you may prefer to choose your own and pay any additional fees they may have.

    Your personal funeral arranger will ensure everything meets your wishes, including music, lighting, flowers and photographs. We can also arrange to have your service given by a family member or a celebrant.

    There are so many ways you can make the funeral a meaningful goodbye to your loved one. We’ll put all the arrangements in place to make it feel truly personal.
