About Us Meet the in memory of life team

As an independent and family run funeral business, we treat each of our families as if you are our own. We pride ourselves on our care for your loved one, exceptional funeral arrangements and our dedication to creating the farewell you are looking for. We are kind, compassionate and aim to make the process simpler for you so that you can focus on what is important.

In Memory Of Life

funeral Conductors

funeral conductors

On the day of the funeral, you will be greeted by one of our Funeral Conductors, John, Alex, Brian or Martin. The conductor, recognisable with a top hat and cane, will be your main point of contact and will compassionately guide you and all attendees through the day. Each of our conductors are highly experienced and will answer any of your questions as well as providing instruction to our team or family members who choose to carry the coffin.

Funeral support Staff

Our funeral support team will bring your loved one into our mortuary care using our specialist private ambulance vehicles. We will respectfully follow your instructions for their care which may include embalming, dressing in their own clothes, make-up, shaving, hair-styling or any other requests that you may have.

On the day of the funeral, our team of professional pallbearers (coffin bearers) and chauffeurs will be there to support you together with our funeral conductor and any officiant you have chosen for the day. Our team will always be immaculately dressed in matching smart uniforms. If you wish, you can also request less traditional attire for our funeral team too.

Funeral Arrangers

We will patiently and compassionately guide you through each stage of the arrangement process. Our aim is to make the process as simple as possible for you and to give you the freedom to make the choices you need, whilst having plenty of time to focus on planning the service content with your chosen officiant. We will always be led by you and your choices, working tirelessly to ensure we make each of your requests possible for the funeral.

funeral plans

secure todays prices & peace of mind for the future

By taking out a funeral plan, you can not only clearly express your wishes but you can also cover the cost of the funeral in advance for your family and even spread this cost into small monthly payments over up to 5 years.

Whilst we are a smaller business, your funeral plan payment is held by an independent FCA certified trust, Plan with Grace, so you can rest assured your money will be protected in any eventuality. A funeral plan also ensures you secure the price of the funeral plan as it is today. This is important as, according to independent research from SunLife, the average cost of dying in the UK has increased by 13% since 2015 and continues to rise each year.
