We believe that a funeral should be a celebration of life, therefore it is right that you represent your loved one in a way they would like to be remembered. Our specialist services include a variety of hearses including the following; vintage hearse, horse-drawn hearse, motorcycle hearse. We are also able to provide musical accompaniment including a bugler and a Scottish piper. Service funerals can also be arranged. If you’d like any of these services please let us know and we can implement these into your arrangement.

Estimates

When arranging a funeral, you can rest assured that we will make every effort  to accurately estimate our costs. This also goes for any fees paid on behalf of the relatives of the Deceased, i.e. to cemeteries, crematorium, clergy, churches, doctors etc. These cannot always be guaranteed on the initial estimate as they can vary considerably, however we will keep you informed at all stages of the planning and can guarantee no hidden costs. If you’re thinking ahead to the future, we also provide pre-paid funeral plans.

Floral Tributes

Floral tributes are a beautiful way to remember your loved one and offer a great way to honour their personality. Any tributes that you have made can be delivered to our premises on the day of the funeral. At your request we will also remove any tribute cards after the funeral for placing in a memorial album. We are also available to help and advise on floral arrangements if you require additional support.
