Planning a Funeral

We understand how devastating it can be when someone close to you dies, and what a difficult and confusing period it is to navigate.

Organising a funeral service is easier with us.

When someone close to you dies, the next steps aren’t always immediately clear.

That’s when experience is more valuable than ever.

Planning a funeral will be different for every family. There are so many types of funeral that the choice can be overwhelming. Funerals can be as simple or as elaborate as you desire. Some people choose a small, family gathering at a local venue. Others prefer a grand affair. Either way, we believe that the most meaningful ceremonies are those which place emphasis on personality.

We’ll talk you through each decision and take care of every detail to help you put together a meaningful service that will be remembered for years to come.

Our Service

Our funeral planning service covers all aspects of funeral arranging.

We will help you with understanding the first steps when someone has died. We talk to you and guide you on how to choose the format of the funeral, such as if you prefer a burial or a cremation or how to send out invitations. We look at what transportation you require, which coffin would be the best choice, and we work with you on the funeral costs.

We’ll help and guide you through each decision and take care of every important detail to help you to create a perfectly tailored funeral for the person who has died.

“Arranging a funeral for a loved one is fortunately not something the majority of us regularly experience in our lives. However, when the time comes to do so, it is difficult to deal with our own emotions and concentrate on the many aspects of creating a personalised and appropriate funeral to say our final goodbyes. From my first contact with Chris Arnold at Attree & Kent, I felt reassured that I was in capable and…

“Very many thanks to Jackie for her excellent sympathetic help, nothing was too much trouble and her kindness and patience made, what was a difficult and sad occasion, run beautifully. Many people commented afterwards on how very special everything was. I would happily recommend Deric Scott’s to anyone.”

“My personal review of Peter’s funeral is that it was beautifully managed and the family appreciated the support you gave us. Sarah Hall’s address hit the right balance, for us, between dignity and warmth and we felt that it helped us all to turn that page in our lives and learn to accept that Peter was gone. I would recommend you to anybody who asked.”

Planning a Funeral in Advance

For many people planning a funeral only happens once or twice in their lifetime, Most of our funerals are planned at the time of need.

However, thinking about or planning a funeral in advance can mean that you can share your funeral wishes with those closest to you. This can have several benefits such as easing the emotional burden on your family at a challenging time, arranging payment options in advance, and choosing a funeral director. You can also plan how you would prefer the ceremony to be from music choices, readings, to what you would like people to wear.
