Funeral Directors Glastonbury

Whether you were expecting the death of your loved one or it happened unexpectedly, there’s no denying how upsetting it can be.

It always helps to know how to handle the situation efficiently and logically, which can alleviate some of the many stresses that come with the death of a close friend or family member.

The steps you need to take will undoubtedly vary, and the process depends on whether the death was expected or not and where it occurred.

For instance, if you were preparing for your loved one to pass at home from a terminal illness, you would contact their GP or nurse to come out to certify or verify their death once the time comes.

Then, you would call us to collect your loved one, and we’ll take them to our chapel of rest while we wait for the medical cause of death from their doctor.

Once we have this, you’ll be able to make an appointment to register the death and begin planning the perfect send-off for your loved one. 

For more information on what happens when somebody dies, or to arrange a funeral with us, call 01278 794 304 to chat with one of our expert funeral directors.

As funeral directors, we have a lot of responsibilities, but our main priority is ensuring that we provide compassionate support for bereaved families – arranging the perfect send-off for their loved ones according to their wishes.

Together with you and your family, we will help you determine where the service will take place, the date and time of wakes or memorial services, and whether your loved one should be buried or cremated.

Managing legal requirements and death notices also falls under our job description, so you needn’t stress about any of the complicated paperwork.

With this said, you can rely on us for round-the-clock support, to answer any questions you have at any time, or even if you just need someone to talk to during such a difficult time.

Call us on 01278 794 304 for assistance whenever you need it – day or night.

When you think of funerals, you most likely think of churches, hymns, hearses, and flower arrangements. If this is something you want, it can be organised.

However, some people prefer not to be bound by the formalities of traditional funerals, and would much rather go down a more contemporary route.

If this sounds like your situation, a direct cremation could be the most suitable alternative. 

A direct cremation is a much more affordable option in comparison to a standard cremation or burial – starting from just £995.

By choosing this option, no compromises will be made to the quality of our service, and both you and your loved one will receive the care and respect you’d expect. 

If you have any questions about direct cremations in Glastonbury, send us a message using our online contact form today, and one of our experienced funeral directors will get back to you shortly.

Absolutely!

Many people are taking out pre-paid funeral plans these days, and for good reason.

Taking out a funeral plan allows you to spread the cost of your funeral, so the majority (if not all) of the fees are paid for in advance. This allows you to protect your loved ones from the financial burden when the time comes.

With one of our funeral plans, you’re in full control of your own arrangements, and you can specify exactly what you want for your funeral service well in advance. 

Starting from just £1,394, we have a range of plans available for you to choose from, including: 

• The Southwold
• The Eddystone
• The Longstone
• The Flamborough

With funeral costs forever rising, our plans are fixed at today’s prices – so you don’t have to worry about growing expenses.
