Our services can include, organising a time and day for the service to take place, Booking a church or crematorium chapel for a service followed by a burial or cremation as the family wishes, providing a religious minister or a non religious celebrant and also organising funeral cars for the day, Arranging floral tributes, visits to see your loved ones at our private Chapel of Rest, organising headstones, memorial plots and the return of ashes to the family or internment in a place of your own choice.

Our family business has recently become part of the "Creating A Dementia Friendly Nantwich Scheme". Each member of our team have taken part in a session, talking about the effects dementia has on our loved ones themselves and you as their family, and we have a greater understanding of this illness and are fully aware of what we can do to help in raising the awareness of Dementia to others. We are very proud to be a Dementia Friendly Family Funeral Service here in Nantwich.
