Help and Advice Following a Death
Losing a loved one, whether you’re expecting it or not, is the furthest thing from easy but you must know the steps you need to take following their passing.

We’re here for you every step of the way.
Arranging A Funeral With Ashley Edwards
Just the thought of arranging a funeral for a friend or family member can be distressing enough, and we wholeheartedly understand how difficult this time is for you and your family.
Our job is to make the process easier for you, and by working with our funeral directors, you’ll be provided with guidance and support right the way through the arrangement process to ensure you’re able to celebrate your loved one in a way they would’ve wanted.
Direct Cremations In Somerset
We understand everyone has different needs and requests, which is why we provide alternative ways of saying your final goodbyes – like a direct cremation.
If you’re wanting to celebrate the life of your loved one in your own way and in your own time, without being bound by the formalities of a traditional service, a direct cremation in Somerset might be your best bet.
It’s also a more affordable option in comparison to a standard cremation or burial – but this isn’t to say the quality of our service is compromised. While your loved one is with us, they’ll receive the utmost care and respect you’d expect with any of our other services, regardless of the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nope!
Arranging and holding a funeral service isn’t a legal requirement in Somerset and the rest of the UK.
However, the law states ‘you must dispose of the body or the person who has died by burial, cremation, or any other means’ (Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953).
While you don’t have to have a funeral, we always recommend holding some sort of commemoration service, giving yourself a space to grieve and allowing the rest of the family to reflect on and celebrate, the life of your loved one.
If you’re thinking ‘I don’t want a funeral’, or you’re honouring the life of a loved one who didn’t want a funeral, there are many alternative ways to say your final goodbyes without being bound by the formalities of a traditional service.
For more information or help planning a service, send us a message using our online contact form today, and one of our expert funeral directors will get back to you as soon as possible.
When you call us will depend on your individual circumstances.
Generally, if a doctor has confirmed a death you were anticipating, you can get in touch with us whenever you’re ready.
