On receipt of your call we will advise you on the next stages in order to proceed with our services.
We bring your loved one into our care
Immediately from any non-hospital location, or from any Essex hospital within 2 days of the paperwork being completed. Your loved one will be prepared and cared for at our Chapel of rest in Chelmsford. (Additional fees may apply, see our FAQs)
The cremation is arranged and we advise you of the date and time of committal
We will arrange, collate and send you the documents for signing via secure courier which you return to us. Once the committal has been booked, we notify you of the date and time it will take place so you can have a moment of reflection.
The committal takes place in a local crematorium
On the day, your loved one will be escorted to the crematorium by our uniformed staff in our specially adapted funeral vehicle. You can choose to have one piece of music played during the committal.
You receive the ashes within 28 days
We return the ashes to you via tracked courier, or they will be ready for you to collect from our funeral home, within 28 days. A member of our team can hand deliver the ashes for an additional fee if you wish.
What Our Customers Say
Gentleness throughout but alacrity wherever and whenever required ... it was good to know that one of their team would answer the phone and address the challenges arising immediately and reliably.
From the outset Cheryl and Paul were very tactful, sensitive and accommodating, making me aware of the options available to me regarding the committal, as well as helping me consider the practical aspects of different choices of urn. I also received numerous courtesy calls to update me on progress.
Most professional and supportive to me and my family. Providing my husband with the funeral he wanted peaceful and simple.
Thank you Cheryl and Paul for the care and compassion you showed in dealing with my wife’s cremation. It’s an emotional experience and your professional manner made it so much easier to handle.
