What types of funeral services do we offer?
We offer the complete range from cremation to burial. This page covers the funeral service and burial aspect (if you’d like to read about our cremation services click here).
A funeral service (whether a burial or cremation) honours the life of the person who has passed away. The funeral service can be in accordance to the deceased's wishes, preferences of their family or their beliefs, religious or non-religious. After the funeral service, they would be cremated or buried in a natural burial ground.
As a Funeral Director we (Tailored Funerals) can provide services for:
Funeral procession
Funeral Ceremony
Cremation or burial
We ensure that everything is taken care of in advance, respecting both the deceased and families' wishes to ensure everything is done respectfully and lawfully. This means on the day of the funeral, you are able to focus on mourning and remembrance of your loved one.
How do you arrange a funeral service?
It can be a very stressful time to arrange a funeral when a friend or loved one dies (or for someone who may pass away soon). You may have the responsibility to organise the funeral, but you may be grieving while making the funeral arrangements for someone you care about.

COVID-19
Who can attend a funeral service?
Currently in the COVID-19 world we live in, only up to 30 people attend a funeral. However, no-one should attend a funeral if they are unwell with Corona Virus symptoms.
You can still attend a funeral if:
You're self-isolating because someone in your household has symptoms but you do not have symptoms yourself
You're self-isolating because you've travelled to England in the last 14 days
