Why choose a family independent funeral director?
Choosing a family-run funeral director offers several benefits that can make a difficult time more personal and compassionate:
Being independent we are owned and run by our family rather than being managed by a large corporate entity. This means that we are not restricted by large company policies and protocols and will give you a funeral service unique to you and your wishes.
Personalised Care
Family-run funeral directors often take the time to understand your specific needs, preferences and traditions. This ensures a tailored, sensitive approach to planning the service. From the moment you come to us we treat and care for you as if you were our family member, looking after you and listening to you with compassion and understanding to give you that quality service in every aspect. Our Parlour is fully equipped in all aspects which allows use to care for your loved one here, gives you the peace of mind of knowing where your loved one is at all times and who is looking after them.
Direct Involvement
In a family business you are more likely to interact with the same people throughout the process. This creates continuity, allowing for a more consistent and supportive experience. We are proud of our level of care and are totally focused on looking after you. We are able to tailor the arrangements around you and your loved one because you are our priority, without the limitations and constraints that large companies may have on the service they can offer.
Experience, Tradition and Local Connection
Many family-run funeral directors have been serving communities for generations, offering experience and a deep understanding of local customs, rituals and preferences. Being a local family we have strong local ties and are invested in and support our community with various fund raising activities throughout the year.
Compassionate Service
Family-owned businesses tend to be more hands-on, with owners often directly involved in the service. This means the care and attention provided is often more heartfelt and personal. We can be flexible to accommodate you and your needs, spend time with you to make sure everything is right for you, and importantly give you the reassurance of continuity of service as you will be dealing with the same person throughout.
Flexibility
Family funeral directors may offer more flexibility in their services and pricing, working with families to find meaningful, affordable options that reflect their wishes. We can offer help with any applications and forms that you require to complete regarding finance.
Long-Term Support
Family-run businesses may offer ongoing support such as aftercare services or grief counselling, providing continued care beyond the funeral itself. We are available at all times, able to help with aftercare should you wish and freely provide memorials at special times of the year.
Overall, choosing a family-run funeral directors can provide a more intimate, supportive experience during a challenging time, with a focus on respect, trust and personalised service. We are proud to be independent and choose to be so because we believe that we give alternatives to families, offer better quality personalised service with trust and understanding, aftercare should you wish it and can be better value for money.
