There is more choice now than ever before in many of the difficult decisions we have to make throughout our lives. Nowadays, the choices we make for our loved ones' funeral service is no different.
Whilst for many, the traditional approach to funerals comprising of a church service or service at the local crematorium or cemetery chapel led by a priest, minister, humanist or independent celebrant and using a traditional style of coffin will always be the only way there are others who want something a little different.For instance, we can supply coffins made from Wicker, Willow, Bamboo, Wool or Cardboard to name just a few.

As a youngster, due to a family bereavement, Sean decided at the tender age of twelve years old that a life in service to the bereaved families and their loved ones of Carlisle was what he would dedicate his life to. Sean spent time on the works experience scheme from North Cumbria Technology College, known colloquially as 'Harraby Secondary', whilst aged fifteen years old at two different funeral directing firms in the city.
Sean was a great help when we unfortunately had to organise a funeral for our baby boy, so lovely to come across someone who genuinely cares about the service they're providing. My family went on to have Sean lead my uncle's funeral and will most certainly use him again when required. Sean has looked after our arrangements twice now and is absolutely brilliant.
