Frequently asked questions

When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.

You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and as such we abide by The Funeral Director Code. We also have a legal obligation to try and ensure the person who is arranging a funeral has the right to do so, or has permission from those who do.

If you are aware that someone has been appointed as the administrator, you should only arrange the funeral with this person's agreement.

If there is no Will or Letters of Administration, then the responsibility would pass to the next of kin.

A Memorial is a way of creating a lasting memory to help remember a loved one.

Dignity has been established for over 200 years and is one of the UK's leading providers of Funerals and with an 'Excellent' Trustpilot rating (02/24). We are proud to help our customers every year with a diverse range of Memorial products and services to help remember their loved ones.

I didn't like the fact my grandfather preplanned and paid for his funeral To make sure he got what he wanted and not what the family wanted and to save family fall outs but once he passed away he didn't get what he planned and payed for as a family member was able 2 change it all my grandad had a contact with them that wasn't held up whats the point in pre arranging your funeral if someone can just change it all the man wanted and payed for a Cremation As he did not want buried But yet he ended up buried. Staff nice and thay done good job I just dont agree with changing a dead person's last wishes & don't understand how it is even legal 2 change what my grandad payed for when it was a signed contract. The poin of pre booking 2 make it easyer on family and prevent fall outs but it ended up ripping the whole family apart and making it harder and more stressful at a already hard time . so if u want 2 pre plan make sure no1 can change your last wishes

I can’t recommend KD Henderson highly enough. Karen deserved special praise for being the most professional, conscientious, empathetic person. She led us through the process with compassion. She dealt with everything right up to the cremation.

I found the staff at K D Henderson very helpful, very friendly, and very supporting and considerate.

In the planning of the funeral they were a great help in giving direction and organising everything that needed to be attended to.

The funeral flowed very smoothly and gave my father a great send off.

Thank you very much for all your help
