Murrant Family Funeral Services

We are frequently asked whether we offer unattended or direct cremation similar to those TV ads.

Yes we do. However we offer this in a personal and face to face manner. As always with Murrants we feel that every little thing matters, so we include;

All professional fees and paperwork.
Bringing your loved one into our care and if requested dressing them in their own clothes.
Visiting them in our chapel of rest.
An oak veneer coffin.
Cremation fees and travel to the crematorium for your loved one.
Their ashes returned to you via us.

The above is £1399.00. No extras for urgent out of hours services, no hidden costs.

Pop us a call on 01493 748613 and we can help.

New staff member!

We are pleased to welcome Reece to team Murrants. Reece is predominantly based at Murrants of Lowestoft but also can be seen at times at our other branches and on funerals with us as a pall bearer.

Reece, originally from London now lives in Kessingland and spends time as a voluntary community first responder with the ambulance service outside of work.

Reece is learning all aspects of arranging funerals and is a friendly and approachable face in the branch as well as assisting families by phone and email.

You may well see Reece out in the local community soon with Jen & Jay as we get involved where we can to help!

Do feel free to pop in to Murrants of Lowestoft on Battery Green Road if you need our assistance with arranging or pre planning a funeral.

Welcome to team Murrants Reece!

Our pall bearer Sophie is doing something wonderful and cutting off 15 inches of her hair to donate to the Little Princess Trust! This charity makes human hair wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment or other medical conditions.

We are extremely proud of her, we all love to give back and this is on another level.

Sophie has set up a donation page with a modest £100 fundraising goal, if anyone would like to offer support it is for a wonderful cause.

Thank you in advance 💓

We wish everyone a peaceful Easter.

This week saw a first for us with a very proud moment.

Jen got to work with 2 of her daughters as pall bearers while Jay conducted a funeral.

Our team is like a family every day in which we are lucky, so to bring in more family to join us in helping others is very special indeed.

We recently were able to assist a really lovely family with funeral arrangements culminating in a service at the beautiful church in Acle.

We are able to help with funerals in any location, and will go out of our way to ensure we know all the details about a venue, resulting in exactly what the family envisioned to say goodbye.

On this occasion we supported family pall bearers, provided the music in church and arrived early as always to set up the church.

If you need our help with arranging a funeral of a traditional nature or one that is a little different, being independent means we are able to think outside the box and make it happen.

Just pop us a call on 01493 748613

Every family we look after is special.

Every funeral we arrange is special.

We go out of our way to do anything we can to honour the person whose funeral it is in any way their family see fitting.

Today the whole team donned leopard print and owned it on behalf of a lovely family.

These are the things that we hope make all the difference.

'Every little thing matters'

This is a phrase that anyone connected with Murrants has heard Jen say many hundreds of times! It has been adopted by our team because it is absolutely part of our ethos.

Whether it is simply making sure we have milk to offer visitors to our branches a drink, through to the finer details on the day of a funeral those things, no matter how little they seem will always matter.

Ensuring that attention is given equally to these things is important as it creates the bigger picture of how we do things.

As an example, we like our team to have their ties all with the same knot when on a funeral.

Jay is the expert at this and has taught Jen, however Jay wasn't around on this day, so while Jen was preparing other things, our lovely Charlotte led the guys in a YouTube tutorial of the double windsor!

Last night we were very proud to support St Elizabeth Hospice at their race night in Great Yarmouth!

Fun was had, along with over 4k raised for the charity, we hope to be doing more in the future to assist with fundraising for these wonderful people and the families they support.

These incredible words have really impacted our little team. We are so proud.

Whether you contact our Martham, Great Yarmouth or Lowestoft branch, it will be the same small team led by Jen and Jay, who will look after you and your loved one.

Same ethos, same quality of care and same rule of 'every little thing matters'. Always.

Today, we are thinking about Mums.

We stand in solidarity with those who have lost their Mum, those Mums who have lost their children and anyone who is struggling missing a mother figure in their life.

We are always here if you need a supportive listening ear.
