Being an Independent Family Funeral Directors we often look at our competitors to see how we compare. We want to make sure our families are getting value for money at what is a very difficult time and sometimes very unexpected.

You no doubt see a large amount of marketing/advertising from a very well known Direct Cremation company that are nationwide who claim to be affordable, very often claiming to be the cheapest in the market.

I have just done an online quote on their latest advert, claiming if you take it before the end of the month they will give you £100 off and a voucher for £50 for an afternoon tea experience. Wow why wouldn't you, we all like an afternoon tea.

However when it is still £500 dearer than us and dearer than most independent funeral directors, I can't understand why people still do it.

See the chart that I've included with comparisons in service and then make your informed decision for yourself.

Always talk to your local independent family funeral director before talking to a national company particularly online because you will be amazed at the difference in service on offer.

Last Friday we were asked if it was possible to turn around a funeral in 3 working days. So yesterday we completed the family's wishes and had a graveside service in Salisbury complete with photographer and violinist to accompany us. Anything is possible when the family have very definite requests.

We even had time for a few photos of our own to show off some of our silver fleet while enjoying the Wiltshire sunshine.

As you are aware we sponsor Tyler’s Friends Charity, they financially assist families who have lost their baby or child too soon to have the funeral and memorial of their wishes. Next Saturday the 26th July, they are holding a Football Tournament to raise much needed funds. Jonathan Rust Family Funeral Directors are sponsoring the Real Lettuce team. We’ll be routing for them to win the tournament. If you’re free please pop along and show your support. Tyler’s Friends are an amazing charity, please check out their page and see all their upcoming events.

Today we come together to support Bereaved Parents.
No one should have to go through losing a child let alone on their own.
If you know someone who has lost a child then show your support. Sometimes just a quick chat about their child is all that parent wants.

With the family's wishes we announce the sad passing of Benedict 'Ben' Drake.
Ben's funeral is this Wednesday 2nd July at Test Valley Crematorium 4pm.
In true biker style Ben will be making his last ride across the New Forest where he was born, on a Triumph Motorcycle Hearse flanked by his two amazing sons on their bikes.

We would like as many bikers as possible to join Ben and his sons on his final ride.

If you can join us please be at The Fighting C***s pub in Godshill for 3pm. The hearse will join you there and depart at 3.15pm. We look forward to having as many of you as possible make this ride memorable.

🎩 We’d like to say a huge thank you for all your kind words since we announced the opening of our new funeral home in Salisbury.

To all our new followers, here’s a little bit about me -

27 years ago I stepped in to the funeral business, after saying goodbye to my beautiful Daughter Molly who grew her angel wings at just 7 months.

I wanted to look after families the way I was after one of the hardest, toughest and saddest times of my life, over these 27 years, funerals have changed massively and being part of that journey with grieving families has been an honour.

Families perception of saying goodbye to their loved ones has changed. Each funeral is bespoke and families choices are changing.

There’s no right or wrong way to honour a life. Traditional to simple to unattended, the choice is yours and we listen and tailor to your wishes.

Unattended cremations are becoming popular and we’ve seen a big increase in this service.

Jonathan Rust Family Funeral Directors offers this service. Your loved one will be looked after and their cremation will take place locally at a Crematorium of your choice. After the cremation the ashes of your loved one will be personally delivered to you.

Our prices are competitive and we’ll help you arrange a bespoke unattended cremation. There are many choices, nothing is impossible. Talk to us and let us help you say your own unique farewell.

We are here to offer advice and a listening ear.
