A personal funeral, planned your way
No two funerals we arrange are the same. Some families want a traditional hearse and limousines. Others prefer a colourful celebration, a favourite song to close the service, or a charity collection instead of flowers. Tell us what matters and we’ll make it happen, with clear prices at every step.

It depends on the paperwork and on crematorium or cemetery availability. Most funerals in Trafford take place within two to three weeks. We’ll tell you the earliest dates as soon as we’ve spoken.
Do you arrange headstones?
Yes. We work with local memorial masons for new headstones, additional inscriptions and removing a stone before a burial.
