You may like to know that we are a recommended funeral director with The Natural Death Centre Charity.
We have agreed to the following criteria:
✔️To be flexible with the public and provide the service they request.
✔️To state clearly what their 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 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.

While we can arrange Funeral Services throughout West Dorset and the surrounding areas, you may wish to use our Service Room in Bridport for no additional charge.
Our Service Room seats around 50 people, has an electric organ, and a digital sound system which means that favourite pieces of music can be played.
A Funeral Service in our Service Room can be a more relaxed and affordable alternative to the local Crematorium Chapel. There is no time limit on the length of the Service. This not only allows more time, but it can also remove pressure of time that may restrict the content of a Funeral Service.
We can provide a screen for a visual tribute, which might include a photo, or montage.
Should you choose to not have a Service at the crematorium, we can utilise a lower cost of cremation which can significantly reduce the cost of the funeral. Please ask us for further details.

MuchLoved Tribute Pages: A Special Place to Remember

When someone close to us dies, we might look for ways to remember them, to share stories, and to keep memories of them close. A MuchLoved tribute page gives you a dedicated space to do just that—somewhere you can return to, whenever you need.

With a tribute page, you can:
🌟 Share photos and messages
🕯️ Light candles to show your support
💙 Collect donations in their memory

It’s easy and free to use, and offers a way for family and friends to come together in remembrance.

Watch MuchLoved's short video to see how it works 💜

🎵 Did you know that you can add pieces of music to your tribute page? Those songs that your loved one cherished or makes you think of them...

Listening to a certain melody can evoke vivid recollections, acting like an auditory time machine. You might recall your first dance or a summer road journey...

What songs do you put on when you want comfort or want to reminisce?

Chat with a qualified bereavement counsellor for free.
We understand that no one can fully comprehend your experience of loss. However, we also know that talking to someone outside your friends and family can sometimes make it easier to deal with grief and the impact of bereavement.
That's why we offer the GriefChat service to anyone experiencing grief, no matter when your loss occurred, free of charge.

Our Funeral Wishes leaflet can be used for recording your funeral wishes and are available for free.

Complete as much or as little as you feel necessary. When you have done this, please return it to us. We will keep the original and return copies for yourself, your family and your Solicitors, if required. Just let us know how many copies you require.

If you would like someone to call and see you or if you wish to come and see us, please get in touch. If there is anything you are unsure about, please contact us and we will talk you through any questions you may have.

Some people prefer to give those left behind further peace of mind by paying for their funeral in advance. As a family business, we have chosen to be associated with Golden Charter Funeral Plans. If you would like further details on how to pay for a Funeral in advance, please contact us.
