We're Available 24/7
Everything a high-street
funeral gives you.
Without the high-street
office — or the price.
A dedicated arranger guides you through everything from the comfort of home, while a trusted local funeral director provides the care and the team on the day. A complete, personal funeral for over £1,000 less than the high street.
You feel completely overwhelmed, and you're not even sure where to begin.
The thought of walking into a funeral home and sitting across a desk is just too much right now.
You don't want to compromise on a single thing for them — but you're quietly anxious about the cost.
And deep down, you know they wouldn't have wanted you to spend a fortune.
Then you're exactly who we built In Memory of Life for. Let us take the weight — gently, and at your pace.
We removed the shopfront.
And focused on the care.
A high-street office means rent, window displays and overheads — costs that quietly land on your invoice. We don't have one. Instead, a brilliant arrangement team guides you from home, and we partner with hand-selected local funeral directors for the funeral team on the day and loving mortuary care, including a private chapel of rest.
Lower price. A calmer, more convenient experience. The very same standards for your loved one.
Everything included — fully itemised, nothing hidden.
What never changes
You save money and stress — never the dignity, warmth or care your loved one deserves.
And here's what we've changed.
Everything a funeral involves — the paperwork, the choices, the people to arrange — handled in one place, at your pace, with your arranger beside you the whole way. You'll always know exactly what's next, and you're never doing any of it alone.
See exactly what you're paying for and update it at any time.
Build and adjust your quote in real time — add or remove anything from coffins to cars to webcasting, and watch the total update instantly. Download it, share it with family, and never wonder what a line item means.
Always know the most important thing to do next.
A clear, prioritised checklist walks you through every decision and document — registering the death, the Tell Us Once service, probate — with your arranger's notes beside each task, so you always know what's next.
Know exactly who's coming without the phonecalls.
Guests confirm attendance for each part of the day in a couple of taps — the service, the church, the wake. Track responses and manage the guest list in one place, without the endless phone calls.
A beautiful keepsake, designed with you.
Create a personalised order of service with your own photos, hymns and readings from our content library — then download a print-ready PDF, or let us print it for you.
A lasting place to remember together.
Share photos, their life story and funeral details on a beautiful memorial page. Friends and family can leave memories, send sympathy flowers and donate to a chosen charity — all in your loved one's memory.
So you can spend less time on logistics, and more time where it matters — with the people you love.
“You would not get better by going to a high-street funeral director and paying two or three times as much.”

No high-street director shows you this. Compare every crematorium near you, side by side with live prices, and choose the place that feels right — with no pressure either way.
Your farewell, your way
We take great pride in personalising every funeral to reflect your loved one's personality.
Chosen to care for those who donate their body to science.
We're contracted by the London Anatomy Office to arrange funerals for people who generously donate their bodies to medical education and research at leading universities — a responsibility entrusted only to funeral providers held to the very highest standards of dignity and care.
A complete, personal funeral — at close to direct-cremation cost.
Direct cremation is cheaper because there's no service and no chance to gather and say goodbye. We're different — a complete, attended funeral with a service, hearse and professional team, for a fraction more.

Your farewell, your way.
Cost should never add to your worry. From government support to flexible payment plans, there are several ways we help make a dignified funeral affordable for every family.
Many families pay far less than they expect. If you're eligible, the government's DWP Funeral Expenses Payment covers the crematorium or cemetery fee in full, plus up to £1,000 towards other costs — and we help you apply and wait for payment if you're accepted.
