Tailored Burial Services For Your Loved One

We believe every burial should reflect the wishes of the family and the individuality of the loved one being honoured. Whether you prefer a traditional ceremony at a cemetery or churchyard, a bespoke service with personal touches, or something truly unique, we can help plan every detail with care. Plot costs generally range between £500 and £800, with additional fees for grave preparation or extending burial rights. Whatever the choice, our role is to provide guidance and support throughout, ensuring a respectful and meaningful farewell.

Green And Natural Burials Available

For those seeking a more sustainable option, we also arrange environmentally friendly burials. These use biodegradable coffins, natural shrouds, and eco-conscious materials such as willow, bamboo, or untreated wood. Woodland and meadow sites, open to all faiths and beliefs, offer serene, natural settings for final resting places. Graves may be marked with small stones, wooden plaques, trees, or GPS coordinates, allowing a meaningful connection to the site while supporting the growing trend of eco-conscious, sustainable burials.

Follow Traditions With Horse-Drawn Funerals

For those seeking a classic and dignified farewell, our horse-drawn funeral service provides an elegant and memorable tribute. Featuring black or white horses with matching carriages, these processions add dignity and grandeur to the occasion. Available for an additional cost of £1,200, horse-drawn funerals can be incorporated into both traditional and bespoke services, adding ceremony and heritage while ensuring a meaningful and visually impactful farewell that honours a loved one's life.

Alternative Hearses And Personalised Tributes

Funerals can be further personalised with alternative vehicles, such as VW campervans, flat-bed lorries, or motorcycle hearses, allowing families to reflect the individuality of their loved one. Our options move beyond standard hearses, offering a creative and distinctive approach to the final journey. Combined with traditional or green services, alternative hearses allow for a flexible, meaningful farewell that balances personal expression with respect and dignity, ensuring every element of the service is carefully considered and tailored to the family's wishes. Get in touch today to plan a respectful and personalised burial service.

Very professional and sympathetic. Steve is very professional informative, helpful and kind. He goes above and beyond. We have used this company twice now for both parents and everything went off smoothly. I would highly recommend them.
