Can we view our loved one in the Chapel of Rest?

We ask you please to telephone, to let us know what time you will be coming, so we can make sure everything is ready for you when you arrive. We are aware that this is the last time you will be seeing your loved one, so we try our best to make this experience a pleasant memory. However, we cannot be held responsible for any unfortunate results due to anyone touching the deceased.

What are doctors forms?

When a funeral is a cremation, two doctors must attend and certify the death. The first doctor must be the doctor who attended the deceased during his/her last illness. The duty of the second doctor is essentially one of confirmation. This doctor must not be related to the first doctor either through family or practice.

For this service, each doctor makes a separate charge which we, the funeral director, pay on behalf of the deceased's family. We will liaise with the necessary doctors to have these forms completed on your behalf.
