A Falcon Lodge funeral plan provides the peace of mind of knowing that your funeral arrangements are in place for when the time comes and that your final wishes will be honoured and carried out. Another benefit of getting a funeral plan is to protect yourself from rising funeral prices. Since 2004, in the midlands including the Falcon Lodge area, funeral costs have doubled.*

As part of the Westerleigh Group, we have 41 crematoriums across the UK where our prepayment funeral plans are fulfilled including Mercia Forest Crematorium just 12 miles from Falcon Lodge. Even if the person covered by the funeral plan moves out of the Falcon Lodge area in the future, their funeral will still go ahead exactly as planned, as long as they are still based somewhere in the mainland UK.

Our caring and compassionate team are available to help you get started with setting up your funeral plan 24/7. Call us on 01543 212997.

* Increase is based on the average cost of a funeral in the East & West Midlands in 2004 (£2,061, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2015) and in 2024 (£4,233, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2025, sunlife.co.uk/funeral-costs)

Our Falcon Lodge funeral services are also available to all those in the surrounding areas and across mainland UK. Wherever you are, you can feel reassured that your loved ones will be professionally and compassionately looked after.

Distinct Cremations

At Distinct Cremations, you can look at our funeral as a funeral of two parts. First, there is the cremation itself, where we take care of collecting the deceased, carrying out the cremation, personally returning the ashes and making things as fuss and stress-free for the family as possible. Secondly, there is the memorial service or celebration which the family organise where loved ones gather at a separate time to commemorate the deceased.

With our direct cremation funeral plans, we take the stress away from the process allowing the family to say goodbye when they want, where they want and how they want. Here are some places in Falcon Lodge where you could consider having your memorial service.

A sports club

Local Grass Football Field

Many sporting venues allow people to hire out their facilities for funeral wakes. A venue like Sutton Coldfield Football Club is just around the corner from Falcon Lodge could be the ideal choice to remember your loved one especially if they were interested in sports or possibly even played at the club themselves.

A local venue

Daisies In A Field

Falcon Lodge Community Hub is popular event venue in Falcon Lodge which may have been frequented a number of the times by the deceased and will have suitable spaces available for memorial services upon request.

A meaningful location

Traditional Old British Pub

Various churches such as Falcon Lodge Methodist Church, Falcon Lodge Chapel, or a mosque, temple, and other religious institutions in Falcon Lodge may have space available for memorial services for those who are religious.

Distinct Cremations were absolutely wonderful, when my loved one passed. My loved one was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. From start to finish they communicated with me on the whole process, whilst also checking the family were OK. Sarah Miller and the rest of the team were so kind right to the end, and after my loved ones ashes were returned to us by Sophie, who showed us so much kindness, at a very sad time. Thank you all for everything you helped me and my family with.

Sara June Smith, on Feefo 24 Jul 2025
This was the perfect intimate family funeral. Everything was well organised and took all the pressure away as I had never had to organise a funeral before. Kerry at Distinct Cremations made sure everything was just right and exactly what we wanted. The team at the crematorium were just as caring and explained how everything would happen. Thank you so much for making a difficult time so much easier.

MY brother was treated with care and respect..distinct cremations took care of everything in a lovely chapel and gorgeous gardens, they kept me informed every step of the way, from the very start, to the end, after getting his ashes home in a beautiful presented casket of my choice which I chose from a list I requested from them,PLEASE if your considering this kind of funeral with details of your own choice then look no further, you will not be disappointed, cannot thank Alice and all the tram at distinct enough, and will be arranging mine and my husbands funeral plans with them,

The team were incredible in guiding us through the difficulties, from the very first moment of contact, they were empathetic, understanding and patient, till the last contact ensuring we had the future support we might need. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. If you are looking for an end of life arrangement of least stress to your loved ones, then i'd always suggest Distinct Cremations.

See our Keeping Your Money Safe page for full information about how we keep our funeral plans safe.

We offer two options for basic funeral plans in Falcon Lodge. Our Direct Cremation Plan costs just £1,899 and provides a simple cremation that does not have any mourners present. Choosing this option allows your life to be celebrated in an alternative way without being limited by tradition.

There are a number of different Falcon Lodge funeral plans that could suit your personal funeral wishes. At Distinct Cremations, we specialise in simple, respectful low cost cremation funerals including direct cremation. Our Direct Cremation Plan is available for £1,899 for those who would like their cremation to be carried out without attendees. Alternatively, our Funeral Service Plan is available from £2,399 and includes a service for family and friends to attend at the crematorium. You can choose to have either a 30 or 60 minute service which can be led by one of your loved ones or a professional celebrant.

A direct cremation funeral plan lets you choose and pay for an unattended funeral ahead of time. Planning your own funeral protects your family from funeral costs and ensures your wishes are known for the type of funeral you'd like. If you know you'll be the one making funeral arrangements for someone else in future, you can take out a funeral plan for them for peace of mind.

When the time comes we'll carry out every part of the process and deliver the ashes to your family at no extra cost. Our funeral plans include cremation, fees, collection, care, return of the ashes and much more. For full details of what is and is not covered with our different funeral plan options, please read our price list and terms & conditions.

We offer a number of different ways to pay for our funeral plans in Falcon Lodge. For those who prefer to pay in full, we offer the option to pay upfront in a single payment. Or if you would rather split the cost of the payments so you're not paying as much in one go, we also offer the flexibility of paying in monthly instalments over 1, 5 or 10 years.

Yes, it is possible to plan your own funeral and doing so has a number of benefits. With our Falcon Lodge funeral plans, you can pay for your funeral in advance to relieve your family of the financial burden when the time comes. Funeral planning ahead of time also gives you and your family peace of mind about what will happen and leaves no uncertainty about your wishes. Once your funeral plan in Falcon Lodge is set up the price is set so you are protected from any future rises in funeral costs.
