Banbury & Brackley’s Only Independent Family Funeral Directors. ‘Where caring comes first’
Sometimes it can be more beneficial and comfortable for families to make arrangements in the comfort of their own home rather than having to leave the house when one may still be feeling anxious and emotional. We are more than happy to make an appointment to call upon you at home if this is the case. (We do not make any extra charges to visit you at your home). Alternatively, a convenient appointment can be made to visit our premises in Banbury. Appointments can be made at a time to suit you. We are here to serve you and your family, therefore we are happy to fit in with your needs at the time. Before we meet to make arrangements it is important to decide upon whether a burial or cremation is to take place. We will need to know of this decision in order for the relevant paperwork required to be prepared in readiness for the funeral. Please do not worry that you have to arrange and contact ministers, organists and service venues for the funeral day. This is something we will take care of for you following our conversation when establishing the requirements of the funeral service. When contacting us, you will always talk to a friendly member of the team, offering help and support. Our commitment to all families is to offer a personal, dedicated service of care.
