Our Services – Everything taken care of

In addition to our comprehensive funeral packages, we offer a range of services that can be added so you can tailor this final goodbye in exactly the way you want.

It’s the little details that make all the difference and sometimes, particularly in times of distress, it’s the details that can be overwhelming. We’ve listed popular services you may wish to consider. As always, our team is on hand to answer any questions and provide the support you need.

Some people want to make their own funeral arrangements, including payment, prior to their death, removing the responsibility from their family members who are then free to grieve. When someone wants to do this, we hold all the details on file until they are required. We also maintain records of the next of kin or executor so we can remind them of the arrangements when the time is right.

Whether a name is to be added or a new memorial or commemoration plaque needs to be made, we can arrange for our appointed Stonemason to contact you to create a fitting tribute.

If you would like us to, we can design and print the Order of Services to be used at the funeral service.

We ask for four clear working days to draft, send to you for approval, and print in readiness for the day of the service.

We have six private Chapels of Rest where friends and relatives of the deceased may have the opportunity to pay their last respects in privacy and in peaceful surroundings. Many people find this option is especially helpful if the death occurred in hospital.

Jewellery and certain personal effects may remain with the deceased or collected, as required. For your own peace of mind, please confirm your wishes, and please phone the office when wishing to visit your loved one, so we can co-ordinate timings.

Our Pacific Blue fleet of limousines seats six or seven adults in comfort. If any special arrangements are needed, such as an invalid taxi, please let us know and we will take care of the arrangements for you.

We can recommend award-winning florists should you need us to, providing a beautiful, fitting tribute.

Alternatively, if you wish to use your own local florist, please arrange for the flowers to be delivered to us directly on the morning of the funeral.

We can help you write Obituary Notices and/or Acknowledgements if you require and arrange for them to be published in the newspaper of your choosing.

Should you require a meal, buffet or formal for after the funeral service, we can recommend some suitable venues to suit your requirements.

The giving of monetary donations rather than the traditional floral tributes has become a popular choice. If you would like to stipulate that mourners donate to your chosen charity or that of the deceased, they can be sent to our offices.

We will keep a record of all donations, send a receipt to the donor, and send a list of all donations and donors to the family (usually around four or five weeks after the funeral).

Please request that all cheques are made payable to the charity of choice so we can send them directly on.
