This week is Funeral Poverty Awareness Week, a time to talk openly about the rising costs of funerals and the impact this can have on families at an already difficult time.

We believe that everyone deserves a meaningful farewell, regardless of budget. That’s why we offer open, honest, and transparent pricing, with no pressure and no judgement.

We always encourage families to feel comfortable asking for quotes and comparing services from different funeral directors. It’s important that you feel informed, supported, and confident in your choices.

Every family is different, and so is every funeral. We can tailor our services to suit individual needs, wishes, and budgets, while still providing the care, dignity, and respect your loved one deserves.

If you ever have questions or would like to talk through options, we’re always here for an open and honest conversation 🤍

Remembrance Day – We Will Remember Them 🌺

On this day of reflection, we pause to honour the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

At Rushton Family Funerals, we stand with our community in remembrance and gratitude. Today, we not only remember those who fell in battle, but also those who returned home carrying the lasting effects of war, both seen and unseen.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
