Competitive funeral charges
While Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors have been operational since 1780, it is fair to say that there have been some changes in the way that funerals are held since the 18th Century and so too has the nature of what is expected when there is a funeral. Lodge Brothers has existed throughout many changes in requirements and are still able to meet the expectations of the loved ones and friends who attend a funeral. Often, the expectations of the family can conflict with those of the departed and so it is especially important for the wishes of the deceased to be honoured on the final day of their being.
Each person is unique in their lives and how they chose to live it and so too in death. Therefore, if there is something that you hold particularly dear or if you have strong feelings as to how you would like to be seen out, you are able to contact your Lodge Brother funeral directly to make the appropriate arrangements for your final event.
Lodge Brothers funeral directors near Horsley have many facilities to assist you to have the perfect funeral as you would choose it to be. As families we so seldom have these conversations with our loved ones and advise them of how we would like our funeral to look like. A common question is whether to be buried or cremated and often there is an indication of which would be preferable for the departed. However, this is usually where the conversation stops if it evens began at all. Understandably, there is a lot of fear and anxiety associated with funerals which hinders people from raising the topic. This is especially true when it comes to the death of a child or young adult. So often, more than not, those who are left behind in abject grief are required to make decisions that they simply would rather not face at their time of mourning.
No matter what your age why not look at your options for your funeral and decide for yourself how you would like to have your final send off. Lodge Brothers funeral directors near Merrow can assist you with funeral pricing and planning, as well as many related aspects of the day, from flower arrangements, floral tributes, and donations in lieu of flowers, to masonry, memorial books, and memory boxes. As it is your funeral, you will be able to contribute the ideas and aspects of the finer details of your funeral so that when it comes, none of your loved ones will be responsible for difficult decisions or unexpected financial costs. All these details can be attended by you in consultation with your Lodge Brother funeral directors near Ottershaw.
There are many new and wonderful ideas for how to celebrate the end of life and as celebrating the life of your loved one is widely known to be a vital aspect associated with the bereavement process and formation of closure so commonly well needed at the time of departure, why not take the time to look at your options and decide for yourself.
Lodge Brothers have a fabulous range of memorial heastones
Lodge Brothers pride ourselves on the quality and standard of our memorial headstones. All of our workmanship complies with the National Association of Memorial Masons Code of Practice. Materials are selected from all over the world and advice is readily given on the suitability of each material for every design.
Many people can be apprehensive and emotional when faced with selecting a lasting tribute for a loved one. We take time and care to ensure that the correct decisions are made with regard to each individual and the memorial they choose.
Every memorial is individually made and can be personalised through slight changes in design.
Local Authority Cemeteries
Anyone can be buried in a Local Authority cemetery, which will sometimes be divided into sections for different faiths and those of no faith. Local Authorities allow the purchase of the Exclusive Right of Burial in a grave, normally for a period of between 25 and 100 years.
Local Authorities fix their own schedule of fees. There is one for the purchase of the grave, called the Exclusive Right of Burial, and one for the interment. This is often trebled in the case of anyone who did not live in the borough. If a Common grave is required there is no fee for Exclusive Right of Burial. The Local Authority can open these graves at any time for burial of an unrelated person and normally no form of memorial can be erected.
Most are divided into sections in which different types and sizes of memorials are permitted:
Lawn Section – headstones and base, or headstone only design is allowed. Kerb stone memorials are not permitted.
Traditional Section – full memorials or kerb set designs are permitted. This does not prevent a client having a smaller memorial such as a vase, tablet or headstone & base design. It allows a lot more flexibility than a lawn section and leads to a greater expression of memorial design.
Children’s Section – memorials are often scaled down versions of larger designs.
Cremated Remains Section – these are becoming more widely available and give families a place in which to remember their loved ones – a focus for their grief.
Most Cemeteries have rules regarding the erection of memorials. Before any memorial work can proceed the Registered owner of the grave must usually sign an application form showing the material, dimensions, design and inscription desired. So long as these conform to the regulations we would be issued with a permit to carry out the work. We would organise the necessary paperwork on your behalf. There is normally a fee payable to the Authority for granting permission.
