Meet our team

Laurie and our team are here to care for you and your loved one with kindness, respect and dignity. We understand that no two funerals are the same, which is why we are focused on understanding your funeral wishes for your loved one and guiding you on planning a funeral accordingly.

Our dedicated and compassionate team are here to support you during this difficult time, whether you are in need of guidance or someone to speak to. Please do not hesitate to pick up the phone and call us.

Our services

With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.

If you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary funeral with a service, you should consider our Attended Funeral. If you want us to arrange a simple cremation without mourners present, our Unattended Funeral may better suit your needs.

      I am pleased that we provided the highest level of care and guidance for you and your family. It is always good to hear that individual members of our team have provided a service to you to the best of their ability.

  • From the first phonecall, when we were informed that dad was now safely in their care, to the collection of the ashes we were impressed by the empathy, respect and professionalism shown by everyone we dealt with. We would have no hesitation in recommending this service which helped us every step of the way to ensure that dad's funeral was a proper celebration of his life, full of good memories.
