How does it work?

1

Contact

We are available 24 hours a day. If you prefer, you can call us in advance to provide some basic information, so when the time comes there is less for you to worry about.

2

Collection

We will collect the deceased from anywhere in Great Britain and take care of them at our mortuary facilities. This includes suitable transport to the crematorium for cremation.

3

Cremation

We take care of everything including the removal of artificial devices such as pacemakers and handling of paperwork. The cremation will take place at our trusted partner crematorium.

4

Ashes returned

Delivered on a day that suits you, usually within 14 days after cremation. Ashes are returned in a biodegradable urn that you can bury or use to scatter in a special location.

5

Celebration

You are free to gather the people that matter, at a time that suits everyone, to celebrate the life of your loved one.

Extras you may need or wish to add

Doctors' fees £82

This fee is always charged by doctors to provide the medical cause of death certificate unless a post-mortem has been completed by the coroner. We will deal with the doctors on your behalf.

Non-hospital collection £250

If the collection is from a location such as a personal residence or care home then we will need to send a team out straight away. We're available 24 hours a day.

XXL coffin £300

If your loved one is heavier than 22st or taller than 6'7" then a special order coffin may be required. We will assess each case individually and try to minimise this cost for you where possible.

Attending the committal £500

An intimate gathering at 9am for up to 12 people, held at one of our partner crematoriums local to you. As well as being able to play 2 or 3 songs to reflect to, it will also give those who would like to say a few words and share memories the chance to do so.
