Our services
At Bartholomew & Sons Funeral Directors, we have created four funeral packages, to make it easier for you to decide what kind of send-off you want to arrange. Whatever your needs and budget we can arrange a funeral to meet your wishes. Just get in touch and we will help you.
Bespoke funeral
For a truly personalised cremation or burial funeral, this package offers you the greatest range of options and choices, such as coffins, transport, flowers, venues, music, readings and audio-visual presentations.
Simple funeral
For a simple funeral, this package provides a traditional cremation or burial funeral but certain elements and choices are limited or removed when compared to the Bespoke Funeral, to lower the cost.
Intimate cremation
An intimate send off for up to 12 people to attend a short 10 minute service at the crematorium to witness the committal.
Unattended direct cremation
It is a low cost option that gives you the choice to arrange your own memorial service or gathering at a time and location that is personal to you.This could include the scattering or interment of ashes.
