COVID-19 update

The current situation regarding Covid-19 is concerning for us all. We know that many of you will be making changes to your daily activities and future plans, this is an unprecedented situation, with things moving and changing very quickly.

We are constantly taking advice from our trade organization (SAIF), who are in contact with the government regularly.

We as a family funeral directors will do all we can to keep things as normal as possible.

  1. Our funeral home is still open.
  2. We ask if possible, to call and arrange the service over the phone or by email.
  3. If you think you are showing symptoms of COVID-19 please don’t visit our funeral home.
  4. Crematorium services are going ahead but many with restrictions (please see our local crematoriums below).
  5. All crematoriums are allowing 30 people to attend a service.
