This Remembrance Sunday, we pause to honour the courage and sacrifice of all those who have served and continue to serve in our armed forces.
At this time of reflection, we also think of the families who have lost loved ones, and offer our deepest respect and gratitude.
Lest we forget.

While we can arrange Funeral Services throughout West Dorset and the surrounding areas, you may wish to use our Service Room in Bridport for no additional charge.
Our Service Room seats around 50 people, has an electric organ, and a digital sound system which means that favourite pieces of music can be played.
A Funeral Service in our Service Room can be a more relaxed and affordable alternative to the local Crematorium Chapel. There is no time limit on the length of the Service. This not only allows more time, but it can also remove pressure of time that may restrict the content of a Funeral Service.
We can provide a screen for a visual tribute, which might include a photo, or montage.
Should you choose to not have a Service at the crematorium, we can utilise a lower cost of cremation which can significantly reduce the cost of the funeral. Please ask us for further details.
