I always feel very proud to take part in the March Remembrance parade. It must take hours of organisation but each year it is carried out with precision timing and excellence.
Thank you to Kim Harrison for laying the wreath on behalf of K E Rolfe Family Funeral Directors.

Funerals are deeply personal events, each one reflecting the unique life and personality of the deceased. While traditional black hearses and limousines remain the default for many, an increasing number of people are seeking alternative funeral vehicles to create a more meaningful and memorable farewell. This trend is part of a larger movement toward personalized and non-traditional funeral practices, with families looking for ways to honour their loved one’s preferences, achievements, or passions.
The choice of a funeral vehicle is an intensely personal decision, one that can transform the tone and memory of a farewell ceremony. From motorcycles and horse-drawn carriages to eco-friendly vehicles and custom tributes, the possibilities are as varied as the lives they honour. By embracing alternative funeral vehicles, families can ensure that the final journey is as unique and memorable as the individual it celebrates.
At K.E.Rolfe Family Funeral Directors we are able to offer the perfect choice for your alternative transport.

Compassionate Care for Difficult Times

Guiding Families Through Loss with Dignity and Understanding

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most profound challenges, a moment where the world seems to pause and emotions run deep with grief, uncertainty, and reflection. At K.E.Rolfe Family Funeral Directors, we understand just how overwhelming this experience can be. With many years of dedicated service to our community, we are committed to supporting families through every step of the funeral process, offering gentle guidance and unwavering compassion.

Grief comes in many forms, and so do the ways families choose to say goodbye. At K.E.Rolfe, we offer a wide range of funeral options to ensure that each ceremony is as individual as the person being remembered.

Direct Cremation
For some, simplicity and privacy are paramount. Direct cremation is a straightforward option that foregoes a formal ceremony but still provides dignified care for the deceased. Our team assists with all the necessary arrangements, from transportation and paperwork to the respectful handling of remains, allowing families to grieve in their own way and time. Throughout the process, we guarantee transparency, affordability, and utmost respect.

Attended Funerals
Many families find comfort in gathering together to pay tribute to their loved ones. An attended funeral, whether traditional or contemporary, offers an opportunity for friends and relatives to share memories, offer condolences, and celebrate the life that has passed. K.E.Rolfe can help organise services at chapels, local venues, or places of worship, working closely with clergy or celebrants to create a meaningful ceremony. From floral arrangements to music selections, readings to eulogies, our team ensures every detail reflects the personality and wishes of the deceased and their family.

At K.E.Rolfe Family Funeral Directors, we recognise that saying goodbye is never easy. Our mission is to lighten the burden through understanding, expertise, and genuine care, guiding families as they honour the lives of those they love. Whether you seek a simple, private farewell or a traditional ceremony surrounded by family and friends, our team is by your side every step of the way.
When you need compassion, experience, and personal attention, K.E.Rolfe Funeral Services stand ready to serve. Let us help you create a tribute as special as the life it commemorates—and support you in the journey beyond.
