Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do when someone dies?

The first thing to do is call us on 01278 793078 — we are available 24 hours a day. We will guide you through everything step by step, including collecting your loved one into our care, helping with the medical certificate and registration of the death, and planning the funeral.

Do I need to come into your office?

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.

How much does a funeral cost?

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.

Can you help with the paperwork?

Yes. We help with all the necessary documentation, including registering the death, completing cremation forms, applying for burial permits, and notifying relevant organisations. We guide you through every step.

What is the difference between direct cremation and a cremation service?

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.

Do you serve areas outside Burnham-on-Sea?

Yes. While we are based in Highbridge, we serve families across Burnham-on-Sea, Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater, Berrow, Brean, Brent Knoll, the Huntspills, Mark, Wedmore and the wider Somerset area. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, please call us.
