Not at all. We are happy to visit you at home, or we can make arrangements by telephone and email. Whatever is most comfortable for you.
Funeral costs vary depending on the type of service, venue, and any additional options you choose. We publish our full price list on our Prices page and are always happy to provide a detailed, no-obligation quotation.

A cremation service includes a full ceremony at the crematorium where family and friends gather to pay their respects, with a hearse, music, readings and other personal touches. Direct cremation is a cremation without any ceremony — we simply collect your loved one, arrange the cremation, and return the ashes to you. It is a simpler, more affordable option that gives families the freedom to hold their own memorial at a time and place that suits them.
Yes. While our roots are firmly in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge, we serve families throughout Somerset — including Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater, Taunton, Yeovil, Wells, Glastonbury and many more towns and villages — and across the whole of the United Kingdom.
