Your Choices

Whether you’re facing the daunting task of making funeral arrangements for the first time or have been through it before, we’re here to make this difficult time easier. Our approach is rooted in offering a friendly, personal, and affordable service. Being independent, we pride ourselves on our flexibility, ensuring that your needs and wishes are met.

We understand that every individual is unique, which is why we don’t offer pre-set packages. Instead, we provide a wide array of options tailored to fit various budgets and styles. You have the freedom to craft a funeral that reflects the personality and preferences of your loved one. Whether you’re considering a burial or a cremation, you only pay for the elements you choose to include in the service.

We also offer guidance and support for those who wish to take a more hands-on approach, providing consulting services for families and friends who want to carry out all aspects of the funeral themselves. Our involvement can be as minimal or extensive as you desire, ensuring that you have the support you need every step of the way.

For those who are planning ahead, there is the opportunity to discuss your last wishes and options. Whether the death is expected or sudden, we are here to guide and support you through the process, offering reassurance and understanding. We encourage you to take your time, seek support from loved ones, and ask any questions you may have. There’s no pressure to rush into decisions – we’re here to listen, answer your queries, and provide the compassionate care you deserve.

Some Choices To Think About

We work with many businesses and services throughout York and the surrounding areas, and here are a few that we frequently work with. 

FLOWERS

Flowers are a beautiful statement at a funeral, from a special flower picked from your garden to simple elegant displays to more flamboyant arrangements.

COFFINS

We offer a variety of coffins that are environmentally friendly, suit all budgets and reflect the personality of the person who has died. Prices from £270 to under £1000 (June 2024).

CELEBRANTS

Celebrants focus on the wishes, values and beliefs of the person who has died, and their families.

 

SHROUDS

Shrouds are becoming more popular as an alternative to coffins. They can be used for cremation and burial but require different supporting boards in each case. Prices from £175 to £275 depending on whether for burial or cremation (June 2024)
