Services
Funeral practices and rites vary greatly but there are some common elements regardless of religion or belief. These are-removing the deceased, preparing them, and arranging for a ceremony that honours them. We can arrange and direct these tasks, and take pride in our ability to provide comfort to family and friends whilst providing these services.
The changes in the variety of funerals over the past few years have been enormous; most of these changes have been for the better. Whilst dignity and respect are still our bywords, we have found that a far more personal approach can help you through the very worst of times. It is your choice in the type of service you require, we will always endeavour to provide you with a minister who is just right for your wishes.
We are able to supply all types of Coffins and Caskets including traditional, fully bio degradable natural woven, eco pods, American caskets and the finest Italian coffins. You can even can design your own with any image. We are proud to say that we are also now providing coffins supplied from a company that are members of the "Tree Tribute Initiative".
Our Chapel of Rest is private and quiet to enable you to say a final goodbye. It is a space that we can adapt to any religious or non religious purpose to ensure you are able to spend reflective time together in the manner most appropriate to you and your loved one. We appreciate that visiting your loved one can be traumatic so we try to make the visit as comforting as possible so that you may know they are at rest, and in the best possible care.
We can supply any number of limousines and can offer a choice of Daimlers, Jaguars, or Mercedes Benz. A horse drawn hearse in black or white (horses and carriage) with a choice of two horses or a team of four. Some people wish to carry the coffin themselves, but others understandably find this too painful.

Incredible service from start to finish. I was adamant on having horses for my fathers funeral who sadly passed away from Covid. Most funeral directories we’re high in price, but Owen Bakers offered a service cheaper than the competitors and a higher valued coffin, horse drawn carriage, urn and everything else. The team we’re empathetic and helped each day needed to organise the arrangements. They have great ministers also and did a magnificent job of helping me provide my father with the peaceful cremation he deserved, especially in the horrors of limited funeral attendees with Covid restrictions
