Questions Families Ask
Can their loved one wear their own clothes ?
Yes, everything they would normally wear.
Do you require a photo ?
Yes, this will help us to see What they looked like for make-up and hair styles etc.
Do we have to pay any deposits up front ?
Yes you will be asked to pay the disbursements before the funeral takes place. We can offer Funeral Finance through Funeral Safe subject to terms and conditions. If a funeral finance application is rejected we will require the funeral to be paid in full before it takes place.
