Planning a funeral for your loved one

How much do funerals in Stanbridge cost?
The price of funerals is rising year-on-year, with funerals in the local area costing £3500-£4500 on average. We understand that this is a significant investment for most families and aim to make our funerals as affordable as possible. We provide three main types of funeral – direct funerals, limited service funerals and bespoke funerals – which cater to different budgets.
Funeral directors in the UK are legally bound to display a standardised price list, both in their premises and on their website. We promise to provide full transparency over the different costs you can expect, and will never surprise you with hidden costs. Our aim is to ensure every family gets to say goodbye in a dignified and meaningful way.
Environmentally friendly funerals in Stanbridge
With growing concern for the environment, many families are choosing more environmentally friendly funerals for their loved ones. Green funerals aim to minimise their impact on the natural world, with everything being chosen with the environment in mind. Although green funerals typically take place at a natural burial ground, there is no reason why you can’t make a traditional funeral more environmentally friendly.
Our team are experienced in this area and will offer guidance for anyone wanting to take a more eco-conscious approach. There are several green burial meadows in the local region – Cosgrove Green Burial Meadow, Aylesbury Vale Natural Burial Ground and Olney Green Burial Ground.
After the funeral has taken place
Our service doesn’t end with the funeral, and there are many ways we can support you after the funeral has taken place. This could include arranging a memorial or headstone for your loved one, supporting you in the collection of charitable donations, or arranging an appointment with a bereavement counsellor. We often stay in touch with families long after a funeral has taken place and are here for you as long as you need us.
To find out more, call us on 01525 372210, use our contact form or email us at info@dillamorefuneralservice.co.uk. You can also book an appointment direct on our website using our booking tool. We are here to support you and your family through this difficult time.
