Our Commitment

We are committed to providing a compassionate, professional, and dignified service at all times. We will discuss your requirements, explain the options available, and provide a clear written estimate before arrangements are confirmed.

Estimates and Pricing

All estimates are provided in good faith. They distinguish between our professional fees and third-party costs (disbursements). Any additional costs will be discussed with you before they are incurred wherever possible.

Third Party Charges

Some services are supplied by third parties. We cannot be held responsible for changes to their fees.

Payment Terms

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. We may request payment in advance for certain third-party costs or direct cremation services. Interest may be charged on overdue accounts where permitted by law.

Funeral Expenses Payment

f you apply for assistance from the Department for Work and Pensions or another organisation, you remain responsible for any balance not covered.

Cancellation

If arrangements are cancelled after work has commenced, charges may apply for work completed and third-party costs already incurred.

Care of the Deceased
