Mark Wait Funeral Services

Mark Wait Funeral Services Mark Wait Funeral Services is a proud independent business which provides a 24 hour flexible service for its clients in their time of need.

I have been providing a person centred service for nearly 40 years in the Newcastle, South Shields and surrounding areas. I hold a Diploma in Funeral Directing and am a member of the British Institute of Embalmers. My daughter Kelsey works alongside me and has over 10 years experience, she is also qualified and has the Certificate in Funeral Planning. We aim to provide you with the guidance and advice you will need in all aspects of dealing with arranging a funeral service for a loved
I decided to open my own business to enable me to provide the bespoke, respectful, personal service I feel is essential when supporting families at a difficult time in their lives. Kelsey joined the business 3 years ago and we work as a family team. We provide a full choice of funeral options, tailoring this to your requirements from a simple cremation/burial to a more modern bespoke ceremony with religious, non-religious or humanist celebrants. We are able to advise on memorial services and alternative options to the more traditional funerals ie woodland burials, outdoor services. We offer pre-paid funeral plans to enable people to arrange their own funeral, lessoning the stress on their family when the time arrives. We have an open door policy and welcome you to contact me to have an informal discussion and view my premises. Kind Regards
Mark, Kelsey and Rhys

As society changes many people are now considering the option of a direct cremation. This is a service that many local independent Funeral Directors provide. We are able to provide this option to you with the added comfort of knowing your loved one will stay close to you. The table below shows how staying local can meet your needs whilst also still providing a personal touch.

A beautiful set of cufflinks created by Kelsey for her dad Mark for Father’s Day last month from all of his children,with the ashes of both his Mam and Dad in. As you know Mark’s Mam died in May so it felt just right for this gift this year. He was so pleased with them and had worn them with pride.

On Mother’s Day I received the most special gift from my children. A Pandora bangle with a charm made by Kelsey from, our See You memorial range containing a tiny part of my lovely dad’s jumper that he wore for his last Christmas with us. I didn’t have ashes from him to be able to do our jewellery the usual way so Kelsey decided to try something else for me. It’s amazing what you can have set in our jewellery to create a memory. 💙
