Arranging a funeral service


Our funeral options let you focus on being with your loved ones during your time of grief.

We offer cremation or burial, either as an attended ceremony or a non-attended service. Non-attended services allow you to plan and hold celebrations later if you wish.

You can hold a service at Cambridge Crematorium on Huntingdon Road or in the chapel at Newmarket Road Cemetery.

All our services include providing somebody to help you arrange the funeral. They will provide guidance and support, including with completing the necessary paperwork.

We’ll collect your loved one into our care during office hours, within the local area. And we’ll provide a standard wood veneer coffin.

Attended ceremonies cost £2,200 and non-attended options cost £1,200. Extra costs might apply in some cases – see below.
