It’s important to remember…

Funeral Directors and morticians are
Unregulated,
Unlicensed,
With no necessary professional training,
No compulsory DBS checks,
Some Funeral Directors pay subscriptions to trade organisations who work on behalf of the Funeral companies, not the families.

This is why it is so important you find a funeral director, ahead of need, who you trust.

Who has transparency in ALL aspects of their work and premises, including mortuary care.
Have opted to participate in vocational training.
Have voluntarily DBS checked themselves and their key members of staff.
Do not hide behind trade organisations.

We are proud to have completed the first stage of vocational training with the IFD.

If you want further details on the ‘Ground up’ approach Bashall and Hobbs takes to death care. Please get in touch, we can provide free of charge ‘My Funeral Wishes’ packs, which can be completed in your own time, and left somewhere safe.
