Experiencing a Bereavement

The death of someone close to us is a very personal experience and is likely to be one of the most painful we will ever suffer, it can be also be one of life's greatest challenges.

The death may or may not be expected but nothing will prepare you for the emotional shock of losing someone close.  Dealing and coping with a death is never easy, it can be even harder                                                                           when it feels impossible to talk about the           

                                                                        practical issues that accompany such a loss, you                                                                         may feel lonely or isolated as if you're the only

                                                                        one taking responsibility, this is only natural and

                                                                        will be made easier with our help and guidance.

Arranging a Funeral

Our services to you begin with your first contact and extend, not only up to and including the funeral but often way beyond. 

We understand how difficult it can be for you arranging a funeral for a loved one and how important it is for a family to discuss and agree upon the funeral arrangements, especially with the many options and choices that are available.

Many questions will arise following the death of a loved one -

is there a will ?

are their final wishes known ?

is there a funeral plan or bond ?

A funeral service can include several elements -

church or place of worship, crematorium or cemetery, hearse or alternative transport, music, flowers, donations, obituaries, orders of service, funeral wake or tea 

These will all be brought together for you by us, through listening to your requests, advising where needed and liaising with the parties concerned, thus ensuring that the day runs as smoothly as possible.

​

Many families prefer to make the arrangements in the familiar and comfortable surroundings of their own home, we are happy to visit you in your own home day or night.

On Sunday June 2nd we were pleased to be able to support Active Fakenham in the Annual Duck and Raft races at Goggs Mill Hempton.

Despite our best efforts we had to admit defeat when the raft spectacularly sunk, at least our duck made it to the finish line.

Bespoke Floral Tributes

​

As each part of the funeral reflects a loved ones life one way of providing a visual reminder of an interest or hobby is to have a stunning floral tribute. 

We are happy to work with some very talented florists who can produce bespoke designs, take your ideas and turn them into 3d arrangements.  Many of these tributes can travel in the rear of the hearse for all to see.

​

These are some of the recent bespoke designs that we have had the pleasure of seeing -

​

Why wait until they're a memory.

Fingerprints of a family member, handprints or footprints of a new born baby or pawprints of your beloved pet can all be engraved onto a range of high quality jewellery pieces or cast

into a glass paperweight and can

make not only a very personal

keepsake but a very unusual and unique gift for a birthday, anniversary

or special occasion.
