Arranging a Funeral
The Role of Your Funeral Director
We are proud members of SAIF and NAFD, we are expected to provide a professional service in line with Codes of Practice. To find out more, click here.
We will advise you each step of the way, discussing with you all the options and ensuring you are clear as to the costs involved. We are there to support you and guide you on what you need to do and how to go about it.
We will take care of the deceased, discuss the funeral arrangements and options available to you, deal with all the logistics and paperwork involved, and act as the ‘master of ceremonies’ on the day of the funeral.
Your Funeral Choices
We are able to help you plan the funeral of a loved one.
Registering a Death

When the death has been registered the Certificate of Registration of Death (Form 14), must be lodged with the relevant burial or cremation authority before the funeral can take place.

The Advantages of Taking Out a Funeral Plan
A funeral plan allows you peace of mind knowing you are minimising the decisions that your family is faced with at an emotional time and that your specific wishes will be carried out.
Organise and pay in advance
Making funeral arrangements in advance of your own death has become increasingly popular. Many people choose this option to alleviate the burden and distress at such an emotional time.
Personalise Your Plan
You can spread payments over a number of instalments or payments can be made in one instalment.
