How Covid-19 is Affecting Funerals

Our staff are happy to wear masks should you wish. 

​

This page will be updated as new information is released, it is meant as a general summary of what is currently happening with all funerals. In the event that we are caring for a family whose loved one has passed away from Covid-19, we will speak to the family individually if any special measures are required, however there are no additional restrictions on the type of funeral available, and people are still able to come and see the deceased if wished.

​

Funeral Arrangements

We are happy to offer in person arrangements. For those where this is not practical, or those who are not comfortable with this, we offer phone or video call appointments, paperwork can then be posted or emailed as necessary. We ask that all visits to our premises are done by appointment.

 

Our limousine service is available as normal.
