The first steps - If the death is at home you should contact the family doctor - we cannot transfer your loved one until a doctor has certified death. In many cases, the certificate will need to be collected from the surgery. If the death is in a hospital or residential home, those in charge will contact a doctor, who will normally certify that a death has taken place and issue a death certificate.

Tom at E M Dorman is the kindest human you could hope to have organising a much loved husband and father's funeral. Every detail was beautifully and meticulously organised. His manner and that of his staff was perfectly pitched to the sadness of the occasion. We chose Tom over the obvious competitors in Corby because from the very first meeting we believed he would oversee a beautiful funeral. We also chose Tom because there was no upselling of unnecessary add-ons: embalming, rings etc. I should also say that Dorman's is very competitively priced compared to competitors.

There can be no perfect day for a Funeral or Cremation, but Eddy & Tom made it as near perfect as possible. Polite, understanding of all our needs and years of experience helped our family say goodbye to Yvonne as she had wanted. Her choice of Casket, Flowers and the Celebrant chosen by this wonderful team, could not have been surpassed ,and Yes, not as expensive as one is led to believe. The care and help even after the Service was also excellent and caring. Thank you so much

We would like to thank E.M Dorman for their highly professional service regarding my father's funeral. All arrangements were done superbly with great attention to detail. Special mention to Tom for his very professional manner. Everything was arranged in a highly efficient way and communications were first rate throughout the entire process. Totally recommended with no hesitation.

Eddy and his team are truly nice people. They helped bury my dad in February 2017 and when I called and spoke to Eddy in December 2017 he sounded genuinely sad that my mum had also died. I have to think that it cannot be easy to maintain such a caring attitude after all the years that Eddy told us he has been in the business but Eddy and his team do manage it.
He was also open and honest, he told us that his firm STILL get used (contacted out) by those expensive (in my opinion rip off) prepaid funeral plans but it paying 2/3 of the fee to Eddy and his team.
Hence it's worth saving the money and
