Planning a funeral in advance is not something everyone feels ready to think about, and that’s completely understandable. 📋

However, for some families, taking this step offers peace of mind and reassurance.

By planning ahead, individuals are able to record their wishes clearly, ensuring their preferences are known and respected.

It can also ease the emotional and practical burden on loved ones at a difficult time, allowing them to focus on remembering and supporting one another. 💜

At F.P. Guiver & Sons, we approach funeral planning with care, sensitivity and no obligation. Conversations can take place at your own pace, in complete confidence, and without pressure.

If you would like to learn more about planning ahead, or simply have an informal discussion, we are here to offer guidance and support. 🤝

Those we love don’t go away
they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard but always near
still loved, still missed and held so dear.

Choosing an independent funeral director means choosing personal care, not a one-size-fits-all service. 🤝

At F.P. Guiver & Sons, being independent allows us to take the time to listen, offer genuine guidance, and tailor every arrangement to reflect the life being remembered.

We are not bound by corporate processes or targets, our focus is solely on supporting families with dignity, compassion, and transparency.

For the families who place their trust in us, this means thoughtful, personal care from people who truly understand the importance of every detail. 💜

Neil was very supportive and helpful when my husband passed away. He talked us through the process and offered suggestions to personalise the service, which we were truly grateful for.

They were always available if we had any questions. They advised us about the Much Loved Website and this was very comforting for the whole family. I have used Guivers a few times now and have found them excellent."

Thank you for such a wonderful review! 🙏

A meaningful funeral is a personalised funeral and our experienced team are happy to suggest ways to honour your loved one's personality, passions and preferences if required.
