Guides for the hardest weeks

Most of us face a death with no idea where to start.

There is no rehearsal for arranging a funeral, deciding what to do with someone's ashes, or finding the right words for a friend who has just lost the person they loved.

These guides are for all of it. Whether you are arranging a farewell, working out what happens to your loved one's ashes, wondering how you can support someone through their loss; each guide answers the questions people actually ask, plainly and without jargon.

Read them in any order. Take what helps and leave the rest. And if you can't find the answer you need, call us on 01392 925061. We are a small personal business, and there is always a person on the end of the phone.
