Planning The Service
There are many different options in the organisation of a funeral service that will help to create a personal and fitting commemoration. We cater for religious, non-religious, simple and bespoke spiritual funerals and are here to advise, organise and support you throughout the arrangements and liaise with third parties to ensure that the day runs smoothly.
A simple funeral will include moving the deceased to a chapel of rest, a foil coffin, the opening and closing of a grave or cremation, provision of a hearse to the cemetery or crematorium, the services of an Officiating minister and of the funeral director and staff.
Burial or Cremation
BURIAL
If you decide upon a burial, you will need to purchase a grave or re-open an existing grave where there is already one in existence, for example as part of a family plot.
If possible we will need the deeds relating to any previously purchased grave. We can help you to locate these if they are not in your possession and can check there is space for further burials.
Where there is an existing grave, we can arrange the reopening, and removal of any memorials in place prior to the funeral. You may wish to purchase a new memorial stone or add an inscription to an existing one.
SIMPLE BURIAL
Provision of our professional services, guidance, support and advice; completion of necessary documents; and carrying out arrangements as per your instructions. Collection within 10 miles during working hours, and care for the deceased up to 10 days prior to and during the funeral.
The use of a private ambulance vehicle for removal and hearse on the day of the funeral, provision of a “Maes Llydan” standard sized foil oak effect coffin fitted out in Brass or Nickle to your choice, lined and furnished with a frill and matching shroud, with 6 wreath holders, 6 handles and engraved name plate. Direct to the cemetery by hearse burial in an unlined grave for 1, (if the cemetery has rock, an additional charge will be applied), and a grave marker with engraved plate.

CREMATION
A cremation is the alternative to a burial. You may wish to hold the service at the Crematorium or if you prefer, the service can be held elsewhere, in a church for example, followed by a shorter service (or ‘committal’) at the Crematorium.
There are restrictions with regard to what may be cremated with the person who has died. Some materials, metals for example, are forbidden. We can advise you about arranging for particular items to stay with the person.
You will need to decide upon the final resting place for the ashes. You may wish to keep them in an urn, bury them or scatter them in a meaningful location. You don’t have to make a decision about this straight away.
As well as the bespoke cremations, please see examples of cremation funerals we can offer:
