What To Expect
Expect to be welcomed
- Expect to feel comfortable
- Expect to be listened to
- Expect your individual needs to be met
We spend every day in our funeral home, but acknowledge that you may initially feel uneasy when you first arrive.
From your first contact, you will be welcomed. Our funeral home is light and serene and our meeting will take place in the comfortable arrangement room where you will be offered refreshments.
We will take the time to listen to your reflections and memories of your loved one and what is most important to you about their funeral service.
Listening to you and hearing your stories is not only helpful for you, but also for us, as it allows us to offer the most appropriate choices for the funeral service, rather than inundating you with options that are unsuitable or unwanted.
From here we will help to create a meaningful goodbye
