A funeral plan is an easy way to arrange the funeral you want in advance. A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director's services included in your plan.
That can bring peace of mind to you - and to your family.

Meet “ Spencer,” Mortons Funeral Hire's rather dandy Landy.
Originally manufactured as a military specification general purpose utility vehicle using the longer wheelbase Land Rover 130 chassis, Spencer has since been converted into a beautiful hearse. Now resplendent in silver coachwork, Spencer is ready to provide a fitting final journey.

Valentine’s Day reminds us that love endures.
Today we honour those no longer with us, whose presence lives on in memory and in the quiet moments they still shape.
Every name on our digital Memory Wall reflects a bond that time cannot diminish.
Wishing comfort to all who are remembering someone special today.

We’re pleased to share that we’re a recommended funeral director with The Natural Death Centre Charity. This reflects our commitment to openness, flexibility, and truly personal support for every family. Here’s what that promise looks like in practice.
We have agreed to the following criteria:
• To be flexible with the public and provide the service they request.
• To state clearly what our services entail, including a clear breakdown of costs for each part.
• To provide a very basic disposal service if requested.
• To provide information regarding all disposal options to all clients.
• To assist families who only want a part service, and not to make this difficult by offering 'packages only'.
• To inform customers that they can send feedback about the services provided to The Natural Death Centre.
• To explain that embalming is optional - and also explain what embalming entails.
• To inform families that they may like to help with some aspects such as washing and dressing the person who has died, or carrying the coffin.
• To state clearly if they are a member of a larger 'group'.
• To inform families whether the person who has died is being kept at another facility.
• To provide families with options for other types of celebrant beyond simply a minister or a humanist.
• To meet and make arrangements at the family home at no extra charge.

Loving these cute little robins from Love Keep Create - The Clothing Keepsake Company.
We know that the robin is a favourite bird of many people, and often symbolises the presence of a lost loved one nearby, which is why we think they make the perfect keepsake to remember someone special.
