Arranging a Funeral
What happens about flowers?
Floral tributes can be an expression of respect and love for a life. When there are more than a small number of tributes, we generally remove the message cards and place in a presentation booklet for your collection. We can assist you with ordering Floral Tributes More Info
What about donations?
Nowadays, more and more families choose to have donations to a charity instead of, or in addition to, flowers sent. It may be that the deceased has indicated a particular charity to benefit or that the family need to consider an appropriate one. The details of the donations are often published in the newspaper announcement and are usually sent care of the Funeral Director.
Each donation will be acknowledged by us (where an address has been supplied) including the opportunity to Gift Aid. After approximately six weeks, a list will be compiled for the family showing the total collected. The cheques will be sent to the nominated charity (or charities) requesting an acknowledgement be sent to the family. We can also set up an online giving page (within our website) dedicated to the deceased, as a more convenient way for people to give. Find out More Info.
