costs and charges
In all aspects of the funeral arrangements our staff will point
out the procedures and legal requirements.
Whilst arranging the funeral, we will advise on costs and charges
to be incurred, culminating in a full written estimate that should
be agreed and signed so that you feel confident with the funeral
commitment you have arranged.
The funeral account itself is divided into two separate parts,
the Funeral Director's charges and the disbursements. These contain
our professional fees and overhead costs, which include the provision
of a 24 hour a day on call rota, our professional services in making
the funeral arrangements and arranging documentation and necessary
personal attendances, the conveyance of the deceased to our private
chapel of rest and the use of the same until the day of the funeral.
Relatives and friends often wish to visit the deceased and pay
their last respects before the day of the funeral. We will only
allow this on the specific request of the family.
Hygienic treatment and attendances to the deceased are also considered
to be very important by our company. The last time you saw a loved
one may have been a distressing memory, perhaps in hospital or for
the purposes of identification. In any event we believe that, in asking
us to look after a member of your family, you would like to be certain
that the best that could be done for your relative has been done,
whether you wish to visit the deceased before the funeral or choose
not to.
