Here at Friendship & Sons Funeral Directors we have seen an increase in marketing activity from some national direct cremation providers.
Many people aren’t even aware that their local independent funeral director offers the same direct cremation services, let me assure you that this is something we have always offered.
What makes us different?
• Our team of qualified staff all live and work in our local community.
• Our team are here to guide and support you and your loved ones.
• Your loved one will be transferred into our care at the earliest opportunity, and they will remain in Friendship & Sons Funeral Directors with us until the cremation takes place.
• Our non-attended cremations are carried out here in Somerset within days of the paperwork being completed and the ashes returned in the following days.
• We can arrange for your loved one to be dressed in their own clothing and you can visit them in our chapel of rest.
How much does it cost?
A local dignified direct cremation arranged by our team here at Friendship & Sons Funeral Directors costs only £1295.00
If you’d like to plan for the future, we can also arrange a direct cremation Golden Charter funeral plan which would cost £1620.00
If you are considering a non-attended or direct cremation for a loved one’s funeral, or for making your own funeral arrangements in advance with a pre-paid funeral plan, then please do speak with us on 01823 618030 or visit www.friendshipandsons.co.uk for further information.
