Murrant Family Funeral Services

As funeral directors looking after families, sometimes a quiet moment of contemplation is welcomed.

'Direct' or 'Unattended' cremation is becoming more popular.

There are many ads promoting the use of companies who will offer this. Some of the words used are 'trust, easy, online, reviews'.

This will of course suit some families but did you know we offer unattended cremation a little differently?

Our cost is currently £1399.00. No hidden extras.

This includes:

Bringing someone into our care (day or night)
All professional services and care of your loved one.
Face to face arrangements and support during and beyond.
Dressing your loved one if you wish and chapel visits with them.
An oak veneer coffin and the cost of local cremation, with their ashes returned to you via us.

When talking about trust, you deal with our little team all the way through.

Easy....this will never be 'easy' but we are here to help.

Reviews...take a look at Murrants reviews from families we have assisted.

Online...we can of course help from a distance should you need us to however we have 3 branches where you can talk to our small team.

Do consider using your local, independent funeral director for any type of funeral. We are here to help.

Today is national walk your dog day!

During a time of bereavement, walking is a way to get some fresh air, a change of scenery and some time to be lost in your own thoughts.

If your canine companion can accompany you, wonderful. However if you need some help during this time to ensure they are getting walks, or even someone to sit with them in your home or 'pop in' to them while you are out, we can help.

We partner with Parkers Packs, an independent dog walking and training business. All of the above is offered as a stand alone/one off or even as part of the funeral arrangements through us for the funeral day itself.

Just contact us and we can help put things in place with someone who has the same ethos as the rest of our team. 🥰

Our Martham branch has a really lovely feel to it, we made it homely and welcoming for families.

Here Charlotte gives us a little tour!

In the centre of the village we can meet with you to arrange a funeral service and the kettle is always on. 🥰

We are rather proud!

Important announcement!

You may be aware that at the end of last year Jen and Jay took over at East Coast Funerals.

As an independent funeral director already as Murrant Family Funeral Services having branches in Martham and Yarmouth and a trusted name of 20 years, we decided to bring Lowestoft into our Murrants family.

We are in the same place and as of today are Murrants of Lowestoft.

You will see the Murrants colours begin to appear on the premises but most importantly we bring experience in looking after families and their loved ones from our small team.

This page will stay for a while but please do head over and give the new Murrants of Lowestoft page a follow as this is where we will be from today.

We look forward to being out and about in the community and assisting families when they need us.

Team Murrants.

Although we like to also be able to offer modern options for funerals and embrace any wishes our families have for what will make their loved ones goodbye most special to them, this is something we will always do.

Jen is paging the hearse. This came from when horses were used to transport someones coffin to their final resting place and the funeral director would act as a guide.

We continue this tradition as a mark of respect and often see others pause, lower their head or take a moment as we pass.

It is always an honour. It will always feel special.

Lots of you adore Skipper and enjoy seeing him....he will be taking it a little easy this next few days as he had his 'routine op' as boy doggos do!

Skip is feeling a little sorry for himself so we will do what we can to keep him occupied and content while he can't do too much!

Rocking Mum's choice of pink though!! 💕

Our Great Yarmouth branch is in the centre of Northgate Street. We have parking at the front of the building and easy access.

This is where we offer both funeral services for up to 20 people in our service room, as well as our newer 'relaxed' gathering we have mentioned previously.

At our Yarmouth branch you will find the lovely Charlotte and in this video she shows both the office and family room of the branch. We will be showing the service room in a future video!
