Repatriation

We provide a repatriation service. Where a death occurs abroad we will arrange for the remains to be brought home for burial, which will include:

• Obtaining the necessary documentation in the locality.
• Presenting the documentation to procure permits for the destination country.
• Preparing the body for shipment to include embalming and dressing.
• Supplying repatriation coffin.
• Completing all travel arrangements.

Cremation

A cremation service, like a burial, takes place in your local church. The coffin is then taken to the crematorium where a committal service takes place, much like what would take place at the graveside.

The cremated remains are then returned to the family and arrangements are made for burial or, if preferred, the scattering of the ashes in a space that is special to family. We will arrange and advise you on all the necessary documentation in relation to the cremation.

Headstones

Advising and arranging for the erection of a new headstone or having additional inscriptions or renovations applied to an existing one. If you have purchased a new grave, we will provide a suitable marker for your convenience until such time as you are ready to discuss the erection of a new headstone.

If you have any particular requests please do not hesitate to talk to us and we will ensure these are dealt with in a dignified and professional manner. You are assured that we operate in the strictest confidence at all times.
