Plan your own funeral

We believe that everyone should take the time to plan their own funeral. Whilst it may not be easy to think about, planning ahead can help you come to terms with your own death and ease the burden placed on your loved ones.

Taking out a Golden Charter funeral plan with us is a simple experience and we will be guided by you. Many of the most meaningful funerals we have had the honour of being part of have been funerals that were planned in advance by the deceased.

If you would like to find out more, get in touch. We’re here to help you plan the perfect send-off.

The care and empathy that Dillamore's gave to me and my partner Kate was appreciated at such a sad time for the loss of my Mum. On the day of her funeral, the team made everything as perfect for me and my family. Thank you Kiera and the Dillamore team x

The empathy and compassion shown from everyone at Dillamore made the whole process of grieving manageable , Sally was especially supportive having explained the process and options available whilst keeping me updated right up to the day. Highly recommended if you ever find yourself at that difficult time when you need some clarity. Thank you all so much

I can't thank Sally and the team for the service they provided. From start of the process they were all so kind and understanding. On the day of the funeral the gentlemen involved were brilliant. I didn't have to worry about anything and let me grieve in peace. I again can't thank you enough. John

I cannot fault the service received at Dillamores. At a upsetting time everything was explained and dealt with in such a caring and professional manner. Such a lovely ceremony was Conducted, I have told my children when the time comes to use Dillamores for me. Thank you

Right from meeting Keira to go through the arrangements to Michael who guided us on the day, Dillamore were understanding, efficient and helpful. I much appreciated the call on the morning to explain what would happen. They were supportive, respectful, professional, and guided us courteously during the ceremony itself. Natalie the celebrant got it spot on with the order of service. The whole team ensured we had the best memories of our mum.

Sally at Dillamore's looked after our Father's arrangements recently, starting with his departure from his care home and ending with a good send off. We were all dealt with sensitively and professionally and every detail was covered and we were taken through the process calmly and helpfully, without feeling under any pressure to do anything or timewise. It couldn't have been any better, despite it being a sad situation

I just wanted to share that we had a really excellent, positive experience choosing Dillamore for my lovely husband's funeral. Such a difficult time was made easier with Sally's professional, caring approach. She took us through the various parts of what was needed, no rush, no panic and with complete consideration for our feelings. It made a very difficult situation so much more bearable knowing we could trust Dillamore to do the very best for us. On the funeral day itself, a day that I personally was dreading, it was so reassuring to know that at each stage we would be gently guided through what was required from us. Everything was perfect and went so well. I cannot thank them or praise them highly enough.

Dillamore's were responsible for the funerals of both my parents, and did an amazing job. Calm, professional, knew all the contacts they'd need to deal with and arranged things superbly.
