At H Tredwin & Son Ltd, we take great pride in the range of services we offer, and in the care and personalisation that goes into each and every one.
We invite you to guide us on your preferred budget, we take inspiration from your loved one’s personality to suggest ways to make the service truly individual, and we ensure you have the final say at every step.
A Guide into What We Offer…
Unlike some other funeral directors, we do not offer set packages, as we have found that no two funerals are ever the same — even when a package is used. We value the bespoke details and individual touches that make each farewell unique.
However, if you are mindful of costs and would like an indication of what to expect, we recommend referring to our price list as a helpful guide.
-
Be that Burial or Cremation.
Our more traditional services often include details such as:
Hire of Hearse and/or Limousines
Vicar or Celebrant leading the service
Music and photo presentations
Service sheets
Online and irl donation collection and distrubution
Bearers
-
Direct cremation is getting ever more popular as it’s a way to keep costs down and take a more contemporary take on your loved ones funeral.
The difference between a more traditional cremation and a direct cremation is that you are choosing to have a more stripped back, no fuss version of a funeral.
You are opting to not have a service where mourners witness the coffin / deceased and celebrate their life. They are simply taken into the crematorium by us and returned to you as ashes for you to celebrate however you would like.
-
The perfect option for the more environmentally conscious.
We are very lucky to be within 20 miles of 3 natural burial grounds.
While natural burial nods to the traditional nature of funerals, it certainly has one foot firmly in todays society, creating a funeral service fit for the future in a beautiful environment you would look forward to revisiting.
-
With todays population being split down the middle in terms of religious and non religious people, we do our best to cater to both.
We have a long list of celebrants who can conduct non religious, humanist services as well as good connections to the local churches and therefore the vicars around the area.
-
At H Tredwin & Son we have our own Jaguar Hearse and Limousine available for use at every funeral we conduct.
However if you would like something a little different we can certainly organise an alternative hearse for you.
Previously we have organised:
Horse drawn hearse
VW campervan hearse
Motorbike hearse
Landrover hearse
Steam roller and trailer
Trike Hearse
Have any other ideas for a hearse? We'd love to help you source whatever hearse you would like.
-
While some people like to have the cremated remains of their loved one back with them at home.
Others like the idea of laying their loved ones ashes to rest in a cemetry / graveyard. We can help you with this.
Just as we helped arrange and do the adminsitration for the funeral, we can do the required paperwork and organisation for the interment also.
