Arranging a Funeral

Here at Fawcett and Hetherington you can put your trust in us to professionally organise and conduct funerals for you and your loved one.
Whether you are wanting a simple direct funeral or something more ornate, we can make sure we that your loved one gets the send off they and you would like.

At your first contact with us we will take some details about you and your loved one, we will then organise a time for one of our Funeral Directors to either visit you -
This can be either in your home or in one of our private suites at King George House, we want you to feel as comfortable as possible so we don't mind which is best for you.

At the arrangement our funeral director will ask questions about what you would prefer to happen on the day and any requests you may have.
You may not know the answer to all of their questions at the time and you may think of something later you may have forgotten but dont worry you can contact us no matter what time of the day or night via the telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and our office is open Monday to Thursday 9.00am till 5.00pm and Friday 9.00am till 4.30pm,
we also have a facebook page where you can drop us a message however this isnt monitored out of hours.

Our services can include:

Transferring your loved one to our chapel of rest.

Hygienic treatment (Embalming) if required and the dressing of your loved one in their own clothes or a gown.

The funeral director, pall bearers (if needed) and hearse on the day of the funeral.

Making all of the necessary arrangements and preparing and submitting all of the required paperwork

Unique Hearse travel to the service rather than the standard black hearse

A choice of coffin from our standard coffins or a bespoke coffin to fit your loved ones personality from a picture coffin to a casket or even a glitter coffin in your loved ones favourite colour.

We are also able to offer you extra services including 

  • Organising notices of obituaries and acknowledgements,
  • Flowers both fresh and artificial from local providers
  • Order of services 
  • Monumental

We make all 3rd party payments on your behalf to crematoria, cemetery, newspapers, flowers and any other disbursement fees before the funeral takes place.

We do not usually ask for any upfront costs towards the standard funeral, your account is sent out around one week after the funeral has taken place and we ask that the account is settled 1 month after the invoice is received. 

We do not charge for basic funerals for under 16 year olds, you can also have the choice of a basic hearse or a limousine for travel, we do suggest older children use the hearse. If you would like anything additional to our basic funeral we ask for all these costs to be paid 72hrs before the funeral takes place.

Unfortunately we are not able to offer you an "in house long term funeral payment plan" as we are not regulated by the financial conduct authority and therefore cannot offer you the option of an interest free loan for you pay off the the funeral account.
