COVID-19 UPDATE

COVID-19 UPDATE JULY 2023: There are no current restrictions in place that affect funeral arrangements,

• You can still see the person who has died in our chapel of rest before the funeral.

• I preferred, we can arrange funerals by phone or video messaging services.

• We have installed a ‘Hygiene Screen’ in our Jaguar Limousine (pictured) meaning we can now safely offer it to families for hire. This has been made to the same design blueprints of the limousine manufacturer ensuring that the passengers are kept separate from our chauffeur.

• It is still possible for the hearse to meet your family at a house address and for you to follow in your own cars if you wish. We have found that this gives family, friends and neighbours an opportunity to pay their respects if they are unable to attend the funeral.

• Our pallbearers will always shoulder carry the coffin into the chapel. Unlike other funeral directors we do not use wheel trolleys.

Please telephone us and we will be able to help and offer advice taking into account the current guidelines.
