Arranging a funeral
We understand how daunting arranging a funeral can be.
We are here to help as much as we can and to arrange a funeral
that is just right for you and your loved one.
Every funeral is unique to the family we are looking after
so understanding your needs is paramount to what we do.
We will always provide a transparent estimate
so there will be no hidden costs.
Making those first decisions
Cremation or Burial
The main decision when your loved one dies is where you would like them to rest and whether their final wishes were for burial or cremation.
It’s one of the last significant decisions that we can make for our loved ones.
Burials
A burial service will typically be held at your chosen cemetery or churchyard.
The natural burial ground is an option if you would prefer an eco-friendly alternative.
Cremation
Cremations are held at the local crematorium. These can be religious or non-religious.
The service can be held solely at the crematorium or a venue of your choosing beforehand.
Pre–Place Funerals
This is a cheaper alternative to your traditional funeral service and is only available at The Cardiff & Vale Crematorium.
Your loved one will be taken to the crematorium in a funeral service vehicle on the morning of the funeral and placed in the chapel ready for your arrival.
Chapel of Rest
Your loved one will remain at our funeral home until the day of the service.
If you wish to come and say goodbye to your loved-one we can provide you with a private and peaceful space for you to reflect and mourn. You are welcome to leave flowers, photographs or anything that may bring you comfort at this time.
If you would like to sit with your loved-one please contact us to book an appointment.
