WHAT IS AN INTIMATE FUNERAL?
Our intimate funeral offers a cremation where a small group of family and friends can be present in the chapel. This simple cremation costs significantly less than a traditional funeral.
You will be welcomed inside by our Chapel Attendant where a piece of music of your choice can be played. You will then have a few minutes for private reflection and the chance to share a final few moments to say goodbye.

Our intimate funeral includes doctor's fees, cremation fees, provision of a simple wood effect coffin^, preparation for cremation in our quality mortuary facilities and transportation in a specialised funeral vehicle. We're open about our costs and we won't surprise you with hidden fees.

Our customer experience is very important to us and we strive to deliver a high quality service every time.
They were brilliant. I couldn't have done without them. It was so dignified. For a low cost cremation it was really dignified. They were so good. They even brought her ashes back to the door for me. They do what they say.
