#service #arrangments

On your loved one's day we know that you will want to think about all the things they gave, our staff are on hand to ensure you have everything you need to have this time.
#consideration

Memories are the way that we ensure no loved one ever leaves us, they live eternally in our hearts and minds.
The day of the service is a part of sharing these memories with others and we understand you will need the space to do this and will ensure you have everything you need for the service your loved one deserves.
#treasuredmemories

Sometimes the words of others best summarise our feelings best if someone else has summed it up perfectly then those are the best words to use and will help remind others just how many have shared these experiences.
#sharedexperience

Cremations are first dated to have been carried out when Anglo Saxons populated the UK.
They would keep their loved one's ashes in an urn, and each community would keep all the urns together in a central place for the whole community to remember their loved ones.
#historicfact

We recognize that you will want to share the memories of your loved one, and will ensure the service gives you the opportunity to celebrate the life and good times you have had with them.

Why do we have flowers at funerals? This tradition dates back to early Roman times, it's thought the people of Ancient Rome wanted to create a more comforting environment for the deceased's spirit.
Some traditions have the most thoughtful origins

It was never going to be easy planning my little ones funeral, but Paul made it just that. Every little thing we wanted, he arranged. It was perfect. From the minute Paul picked Dawson up, to the minute we picked up his ashes, everything was perfect and done so delicately. Everything was personal to us and we couldn’t have asked for more. Will always be grateful to Paul for making such a difficult time so bearable.

I lost my wonderful dad in November 2015 . Paul and Vicki and the rest of the team were absolutely outstanding in the care and compassion they showed from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and the advise on flowers etc was outstanding. I was told I could ring as many times as I wanted to check up on details or check if I had any worries and I always put the phone down feeling confident that my dad was going to have the best funeral ever .. This company is above and beyond anything I have ever experienced before and I can't thank them enough for making a very unbearable time a little more bearable .. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts we wouldn't have gotten through it without all of your support and understanding and would recommend you to anyone X

After being highly recommended by our uncle, we decided to use A Wass funeral directors for our mums funeral, the late Mrs Susan Brown. A Wass was fantastic and took a lot of the pressure away from the family. The service was beautiful and our mum would of been so proud. Many thanks Julie Darby and family.
