Informed Choices
Here to guide through this difficult time
When arranging a funeral, it is important to make informed choices and be made aware of all the available options. Our funeral directors in Blackpool are here to guide you at every step.
Our simple philosophy is to provide you with a service, in a manner in which we would want to be served
As funeral directors, our duty is to guide you through a difficult, often emotional time, we are here to advise and inform and marry your wishes together with any requests left by the recently departed, at a time when emotions may cloud your better judgement.
Traditional service
The traditional service is centred around the coffined deceased person, whether in Church, at a Chapel or at the graveside, the service leads up to the final act of committal and disposition of the earthly remains. Newcastle, York, Oakham, Bamburgh ways are all examples of our traditional service options.
