We offer some low cost funeral options for those who wish for a minimalistic funeral or where no provision has been left to cover the cost of funeral expenses. With the exception of our non attending funeral option, we will not dictate to you when the funeral can take place, or when you can visit your loved one. We will always use a motor hearse to convey your loved one to the committal location. "Quality without Compromise"
