The Bespoke Service offers the complete flexibility of choice in creating as individual and unique a funeral service as you would like, befitting to the personality of you or the person you are planning ahead for. We will take care of every detail.
Your loved one’s funeral can take place at a host of venues, from a traditional Church or at the crematorium. There are unique venues such as the funeral taking place at a race track or a marquee overlooking a beautiful vista. The options are vast and your funeral director can discuss everything with you in detail.
When my wife's sister died as Covid was striking in March last year, organising her funeral from a distance appeared daunting. However from my first meeting with Joe, then Amy, Tom and Kate (on the day of the small funeral) the service and care we received has been simply exceptional. We were only able to intern her ashes on Friday, but throughout the standards have remained extremely professional and sympathetic and the new family memorial stones provide a beautiful lasting tribute.
Thank you all so much!
