The UK funeral profession is in the headlines again because of a certain individual in hull. He know pleads guilty to all the charges that was brought before him.

The news has brought about a lot of uncertainty about how we do things, along with which societies and regulatory bodies are implemented, such as SAIF, The NAFD and The FCA.

Due to this investigation, local authorities carried out their own investigations and inspected all funeral directors including ourselves.

We are fully transparent with all our families, we provide the highest standard of care and safeguard your loved ones to the best of our ability.

We were inspected and passed by the council. We are also inspected by SAIF and the NAFD to ensure we keep our standards high.

If you have any concerns or enquiries please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

You may have seen the recent news about a large national funeral provider being investigated over potentially misleading reviews.

This is really upsetting because when families are arranging a funeral, trust is everything.

People turn to reviews for reassurance.
They want to know their loved one will be cared for with dignity, kindness and respect.

That’s why we are so proud to have over 100 genuine reviews from the families we’ve supported.

Each one tells a real story.
Each one reflects a real family.
And every single one has been given honestly, never created and never influenced.

In our profession, trust has to be earned… not manufactured.

If you’re ever unsure, we invite you to read our reviews to hear directly from the families we’ve had the honour to support.

As an independent, family-run funeral director, we will always stand for honesty, compassion and doing the right thing.

We have received another five star review today. Thank you, David for your kind words. I’m glad mum had the sendoff she ...
