Our Approach

The key to our approach is placing you firmly in charge, encouraging the families we serve to take ownership of the funeral service is the best way to ensure a meaningful and personal service is carried out.

Our team are here to help you in making the arrangements; having vast experience of arranging different types of funerals and are passionate that we can provide you with both an appropriate and significant service.

Continuity of care is extremely important to us, wherever possible the person who arranges the funeral service also supervises the funeral on the day.

The Footprints Prayer...

One night I had a dream...

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, You would walk with me all the way; But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, There is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.

The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.
