More than a list of numbers

The right funeral is not necessarily the cheapest funeral or the most expensive. It is the one that feels right for your family, reflects your loved one and stays within a cost you understand.

Our prices are published openly so you can see our charges before contacting us. Every family's circumstances are different, and crematorium, cemetery, celebrant and other third-party fees can vary.

Our promise to your family

We will listen first, explain the available choices and provide a clear written estimate. You will know what is included, what is optional and what is being paid to someone else.

Our main funeral options

Clear choices, explained personally

These headline prices help you understand the starting point. We will confirm the complete cost after listening to your family's wishes.

Choices explained without pressure

We explain what is necessary, what is optional and what alternatives may be available.

Local experience

We understand local crematoria, cemeteries, churches and arrangements throughout Leicester and Leicestershire.

Support from the first call

Whether someone has just died or you are gathering information, you can call us for straightforward guidance.

What families often tell us

Families value feeling listened to, never rushed and supported by Samantha and the team throughout a very difficult time.
