For a more elaborate and tailored service the traditional service option is a perfect choice. This option includes everything you would expect from a traditional funeral, a limousine for the family to travel behind the Hearse in, from any local desired location. It is also perfect for those who wish to visit their loved one multiple times in our private chapel of rest, which we make available by way of appointment to ensure complete privacy.
Our Simple Funeral package is available to provide a dignified, caring, but less elaborate service for your loved one. It includes all essential services that are needed to carry out the funeral. This option is ideal for anyone that wants to meet us at the crematorium on the day of the funeral.
Seeing your loved one in the chapel of rest is also included in this option, we usually allocate the day before the funeral for anyone wishing to use this service.We always strive to provide your Loved One with precisely the send off they would have wanted and fully understand if their choice would have been a less elaborate service.

Our Direct Cremation package provides the very basic funeral service available with no compromise of care and dignity. This package is suitable for funerals where no mourners can or want to attend. Increasingly some people are letting their families know, prior to the passing, that they don't wish to have a formal funeral service.
There are Infinite Options available if you wish to add to the funeral service, making it more unique and perhaps incorporating something that your Loved One may have been passionate about. We also offer Prepaid Funeral Plans facility, this can be any funeral of your choice.
We make all the arrangements on your behalf, so you only have to deal with us not the planning finance company as well and of course benefit from our pricing structure specifically however, as we partner with Golden Charter for selling our plans, you pay them directly with us only receiving the money when you or your loved one are actually at need.

I called a local funeral company around 7pm and was advised no one was available to discuss my enquiry and to call back the following day.
I called George John and was prompted to leave a message which I declined.
Within a few minutes he returned my call apologising as he was bathing his young son, his wife/partner quickly took over to release him from this duty.
George and his team have been brilliant at a very sad time, he is professional, understanding, empathetic and was totally involved in conducting our funeral service.
I’m so glad that I chose George to carry out my dear husband’s

This has been the hardest and most painful experience to ever happen to my family and I. We could not have found a better funeral director than George and his team, he was extremely understanding and thoughtful in his approach from the initial point of contact even up until after the service.
We are Hindus and my Pops was deeply religious, George has incredible knowledge of Hindu funeral traditions and was able to accommodate all of our needs. He also went above and beyond as we were able to see our pops a few times before his funeral service. On these occasions George created a sentimental atmosphere

George is a very enlightened soul, and this was evident through how our father was treated with integrity and care. We are an Indian family, and so rituals are a very important part of our culture. George understood our culture very well.
He ensured our wishes as a family were respected.
I sincerely want to thank George for supporting us as a family, so that we could honour our father in the best way. The level of care and empathy shown is above and beyond what other funeral directors are doing - and you need to know how to work with your heart and soul to know.
I am eternally grateful, as you

George and team were wonderful from the day mum passed away right through to the funeral and beyond. They were sensitive, supportive and really looked after Dad and I. They created a celebration of Mums life that people are still talking about. The attention to detail was second to none. I can’t sing their praises enough.

George and his team provided an excellent service, both professional and caring, right from our initial contact with his company. The advice, information and support they gave at such a difficult time was greatly appreciated by our family. The funeral service conducted by Richard Carstairs was full of warmth and kindness. We would highly recommend George John Funeral Directors.

George and all of the staff at George John were fantastic. I can't think of a better family run business to help us through a difficult time. George handled everything from start to finish and really made sure the service was personal and ran smoothly. Top communication and so so caring. I would recommend anyone to use George if they find themselves in a sad and unfortunate situation. George made it all so much less challenging.

George John has provided an outstanding service. Loosing a child is the worst thing anyone could have to go through. George John took so much pressure from myself and my husband whilst offering so much support to myself and my family. They made sure that they communicated with us so we knew what was going on at all times and helped us give our princess the most beautiful send off. Me and my husband would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.
Kind regards

From the initial contact by our beloved mother concerning her funeral, George offered the highest level of compassion and understanding of her wishes. The day of the service was made very memorable by George and his team, who made the day a very well organised and stressless one for the family. Some changes made prior to the day, were no problem for George to accommodate, who was excellent throughout.
Family commented on how well everything was done on the day.
Thank you George and the team for everything.
