If it was sudden or unexpected, the right number is 999. When you then call us on 0115 949 1534, we will take a few simple details, explain what happens next, and agree on a time for our team to arrive. We will bring your loved one into our care and meet with you whenever you are ready to talk about the funeral. Our guide to what to do when someone dies explains each step.

Yes. For many families, a home visit is the most comfortable way to arrange a funeral, and we can visit at a time to suit you. Hannah is also very happy to see you at our Stapleford funeral home, or to talk by phone or video call if that is easier. We will always move at your pace.

Yes, we welcome families of all faiths and beliefs, and those of none. Hannah and Danni can help you plan anything from a traditional religious service to a personal celebration of life with a celebrant. If certain customs or timings matter to your family, just let us know early on, and we will do all we can to make them possible.

Yes. A direct cremation is the simplest, most affordable choice we offer, with no funeral service and nobody attending the crematorium. It can be a good fit if your family would rather hold a celebration of life or a memorial separately. There are two options to choose from, and the ashes can be returned to you or scattered in the Garden of Remembrance. Find out more about direct cremation, or ask Hannah to talk you through the costs.

Yes. With a prepaid plan, you choose the kind of funeral you would like now and make provision for the costs ahead of time, giving you and your loved ones peace of mind.

If you are interested in taking out a funeral plan, we can talk you through the options on 0115 949 1534, or you can see our prepaid funeral plans page.
