About our Funeral Service Plan
Our respectful attended funeral plans give loved ones the chance to see the coffin at the crematorium, share memories and say goodbye before the cremation. Once you take out your plan, the price is set and won't go up so you can rest easy knowing that the funeral will go ahead according to your wishes.
You may also be interested in our Direct Cremation Plan which offers a low cost cremation without a funeral service at the crematorium. Families can celebrate their loved one's life in a unique and different way instead.
