Funeral and cremation arrangements, held together with care
A funeral involves many small decisions made at a difficult time. We bring them together — and talk you through each one — so your family can spend these days with each other rather than on the phone.

Preparing the deceased
Bathing, dressing and laying out a loved one is, in many traditions, an act of love performed by the family. Where the family wishes, attendants can help — always with privacy and modesty, and always in the way your faith and custom require.
If certain family members must perform specific steps, we will make sure they have the time and space to do so.
Parsi and Irani Zoroastrian families
Zoroastrian funeral practice is distinct and is not simply cremation. Traditional dokhmenashini, burial and cremation are each followed by different families and communities. We will listen first, follow the guidance of your community and priests, and tell you plainly what we are able to support.
Burial, and interment of ashes
For Muslim, Christian, Parsi and other families whose tradition is burial, we can help coordinate the burial arrangements with the relevant burial ground or community body.
Some families also wish to inter ashes after cremation — in a family plot or memorial garden — rather than immerse them. If that is your wish, tell us, and we will explain what is possible locally.

Common questions
What should we decide first?
Usually: where the person is now, when relatives can gather, and whether the family follows cremation or burial. We can help you think through the rest in order.
Can you help if the death occurred in hospital?
Yes. Hospitals have their own discharge process; we can explain it and coordinate transport, preservation and the funeral arrangements that follow.
Do you provide funeral boxes for burial?
We can help you choose and arrange a coffin or funeral box suitable for burial, viewing or transport.
