Traditional and Bespoke Funerals

We have created three funeral choices that provide everything required for a traditional cremation or burial. That’s right, everything required including all disbursements paid and all our professional fees covered, a standard coffin and even an urn or scatter tube. No surprises and no hidden costs.

We have also given you a unique option to create a bespoke funeral to suite your exact wishes. In just a few simple pages we will guide you through every aspect and choice for your funeral from location and style to vehicles and tributes. We will also give you an accurate price at every step so you can adjust to suit your budget.

Direct Cremation

During the Coronavirus lockdown there is a limit on the number of people who can attend a funeral. For some families a Direct Cremation might be the best solution. With a saving of over £1,500 a Direct Cremation differs from a Traditional Cremation in that there is no service beforehand and there are no mourners in attendance. This gives you the chance to arrange a dignified funeral for your loved one now with the opportunity, and the budget, to arrange a memorial service or gathering at a later date when it is safe to do so.

What the package includes

  • Bringing the deceased into our care from any location within 20 miles including home, care home or hospice at no extra cost
  • Provision of a full hearse (not a private ambulance) for transport to the crematorium
  • Cremation location is Southend Crematorium (your loved one will not be kept or cremated miles away)
  • Removal of pacemaker or prosthetics is included if required
  • Return of ashes to the family, usually within two weeks, at no extra cost

What isn’t included

  • Third party fees (disbursements) which include the Crematorium fee (£500), an oak veneer coffin (£250) and the doctor’s fee (£82 if this is required). A typical final price for a Direct Cremation including disbursements is £1,540

Of course we will handle all arrangements and liaisons with third parties as well as giving you our full support before, during and after the funeral.

Dear Nathan, Jeremy and everyone and Penrose,

Thank you so much for looking after my son – Thomas Street – while he was in your care. The past few weeks have been so distressing but you made organising the funeral so much easier than I thought it would be.

I am especially grateful for the visits that you organised for me, especially the final one. I am also very grateful to Jeremy for your kind words on the day of the service.

I am so pleased that we chose to bring Tom to you. You have made my darkest times a little brighter.

From

Claire – and all of Tom’s family - March 2020

Without you all Boogie’s final journey wouldn’t have been the magical closing chapter of his wonderful life, you made it very special for us all.
