Services include Simple Funerals from £2,365, Bespoke Funerals from £2,565, and Direct Cremation from £1,495, alongside cremations, burials, international repatriation, and monumental masonry. The branch has a private arranging room, a chapel of rest, and modern mortuary facilities for the local care of loved ones.
