Additional Funeral Services in Royston
Supporting Every Detail with Care and Personal Touch
In addition to our core funeral arrangements, we offer a range of additional services to support your wishes and help you create a meaningful and personal farewell for your loved one.
Orders of Service
Families sometimes feel that a printed order of service is helpful and provides a lasting memory of the funeral service.
We are happy to organise these if required.
Catering
If you wish to provide hospitality to mourners after the service, we can recommend trusted local catering services to provide the refreshments.
Listing Mourners
We can provide name cards for mourners to complete on arrival, helping you record who attended the service. Alternatively, we can supply a condolence book where guests can write memories of your loved one – a touching keepsake for years to come.
Floral Tributes
Flowers are traditionally the most silent yet visible token of emotion and respect.
We’re happy to arrange suitable floral tributes on your behalf, or we can put you in touch with a local florist to discuss your preferences directly.
Newspaper Announcements
It is customary to place a funeral notice in a local or national newspaper. This helps inform family and friends of the time and place of the funeral and reduces the chance of an awkward encounter with someone who was unaware of the death.
We can assist in drafting and placing this announcement for you.
Repatriation
In some cases, it may be the wish of the deceased or their family for them to be returned to their country or place of origin.
This is usually possible. We can advise you on the required documentation and provide a quote for the costs involved.
Alternatively, cremated remains can be sent to most parts of the world at a lower cost.
Donations to Charity
If you’d prefer donations in lieu of flowers, we subscribe to the Much-Loved charity giving platform.
A dedicated tribute page can be set up in memory of your loved one, where family and friends can donate online, share memories, add photos, light virtual candles, and create a lasting tribute.
We also accept cash donations on the day of the funeral. Please note we no longer accept cheques on behalf of charities due to ongoing issues with cheque fraud.
