How we'll help you

Arranging a funeral for a loved one can feel overwhelming. Our team is here to guide you through every practical step with care and compassion, ensuring we create a unique and meaningful tribute.

Getting Started

We can meet you at one of our funeral homes in Old Town, Swindon, Rodbourne Cheney or Highworth. We can also come to your home if that's more comfortable for you. During this meeting, we'll gently walk you through the decisions that need to be made.

Decisions We'll Help You With

We'll take the time to get to know you and your loved one so we can help you create a truly personal farewell. When we meet, we'll talk through options like:

  • Burial, cremation or an unattended direct cremation?
  • The location: Will this be at church, a crematorium, a graveside service, or another special place?
  • Type of service: Religious, civil, humanist, or something else that feels right.
  • Coffin: Do you prefer something traditional, or something more modern like wicker or a colourful coffin.
  • Funeral transport: Details like family cars and where the funeral will leave from.
  • Music and personal touches: We'll help you find ways to reflect your loved one's personality.
  • Donations and obituaries: We can help you with charitable donations or writing an obituary.

We'll also answer any other questions you have about floral tributes, a wake, or anything else on your mind. Our priority is to make this process as stress-free as possible for you and your family.
