Our business has been built on a repuation of trust, dignity, professionalism. We take exceptional care of each and every family we work for and this is reflected in the kind words we receive from them. Please click the link below to view some of the letters we have received.
I wanted to say how absolutely wonderful you were at organising my mum's funeral on July 2nd. We could not have gone through it all without your calm, professional and experienced support. You were amazing leading up to the day as well as at the church and crematorium. You do such a wonderful job at a time when people are preoccupied with grief and unable to think straight. Thank you so very very much.
Thank you for all the help you gave to the family at the time of their bereavement and especially on the day of her funeral. When someone dies peacefully and painlessly at the age of 97 it is not really a sad occasion, but a time to celebrate a long life well lived. Nevertheless it is a confusing and uncertain time, especially with current restrictions. So to have you guide us through all of the necessary bureaucracy and to do it with compassion and professionalism was well appreciated by all the family. We shared the flowers and it has given us a lovely taste of spring in the house, and helped to bring back lots of memories of my mother's beautiful garden.
I am writing to thank you and your team very much for arranging my Aunt's funeral last week. It is daunting when you have never had to make arrangements like this before, but you personally made it very straightforward and easy for me. The family were very pleased with the service and the way it was managed and I am very grateful to you all. I felt that it was a celebration of her life and a lovely send off for her after a long and full life. Despite the pandemic it all went smoothly without any hitches.

At long last, after the Hull Funeral Directors Scandal, the government has started the procedures to inspect and regulate all Funeral Directors in the United Kingdom. We see this as a positive move to ensure that the deceased and all grieving families get the care and respect that they deserve.

This is not going to happen overnight, nor will it be an easy task for those made responsible for the regulation, so in the meantime there are questions you can ask to ensure that your chosen Funeral Director is right for you.

Many people already have in mind their chosen Funeral Director. If your nearest and dearest has to go into nursing care, the Nursing Homes will ask for your preference so that they may be contacted at the time of need.

The first and most important thing to ask is how long they have been established and what is their reputation.

Do they belong to any of the recognised trade bodies, check the logos – any of the official trade bodies inspect and ensure that the Funeral Directors follow a strict code of conduct, they also keep them informed of the latest regulation, updates and procedures. With the internet you can easily look up SAIF – the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors or NAFD – National Association of Funeral Directors.

An internet search of individuals may set your mind at rest.

Ultimately, Funeral Directing is a privilege, it is a caring profession and we want to help.

Most independent Funeral Directors are more than happy to meet with you, for an informal chat, before the time of need, to set your mind at rest, explain exactly what will happen, show you their premises and where you loved one will lay at rest, before their chosen funeral.

There is a place for Direct Cremation, but consider the implications. You will not be there to witness this final journey, and talking to Ministers and Grief Counsellors they are reporting increased numbers of people requiring help as they feel they have not been allowed to grieve or had closure on the death of a loved one.

Church services, burials, cremation, non religious venues, cars, order of service sheets, flowers, newspaper and social media announcements, memorials, fingerprints, webcasts, photo tributes, interment of ashes, ashes for jewellery or tattoos, the list is endless of the role of the Funeral Director and the many things they can help you with, just ask. We are here to help. For further information or if you would like to talk to us please call us on 01761 412046 , email at enquires@bryangbishop.co.uk or head to our website www.bryangbishop.co.uk
