Funeral Options
Our Funeral Services
Following a bereavement, family and friends will be faced with many unfamiliar tasks. We realise that this may be your first experience of dealing with these so from the moment you contact us at Elizabeth Snell and Family, we will do our best to make your loved ones’ funeral arrangements as simple, clear and in accordance with yours and their wishes as possible.
We will spend as much time with you as you need throughout the bereavement and arrangement process either at one of our offices or by visiting you in your home to personally guide you through the funeral arrangements and advise you on the many options available in making the final tribute to your loved one personal and fitting.
All funeral directors are legally required to publish this price list for a standardised set of products and services. This is to help you think through your options and make choices, and to let you compare prices between different
funeral directors (because prices can vary).
