Our guides on planning a funeral will ensure your loved one's send off is a personal and unique celebration of their life. We will explain how our Funeral Directors will help you plan a funeral service and support you at every stage.

The day of the funeral

This guide will explain what happens at a funeral; including the funeral procession, funeral service, committal service and the wake. We will be here to help you through every step of the journey.

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.

We also offer more personal and modern options such as jewellery, pin badges and photo related memorial products. As well as completely customised items.To organise your Memorial contact us on {{BRANCH_PHONE}}

From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.

A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.

Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

I can not fault this company. From start to finish. They went above and beyond. Everyone that came said what a beautiful celebration of my late brother. James Cooper who done the service, wrote to westham and got a letter dedicated to my brother. I cannot recommend them enough.

From start to finish, the service provided was personal, professional, empathetic and caring, especially by Karen. They were accommodating in every way and gave great advice. The celebrant Jim who they recommended was also excellent as were the staff on the day of the funeral led by James. I would very much recommend.

As soon as they take your money they leave you without contact, stole my brother in laws headstone and have been unable to contact the correct person (Amy). Finally after 18 months replaced the headstone uneven and cracked. Disgusting service

FE Greens provided an excellent service for my late father giving him a perefect send off he would have been proud of. The staff especially Darryl & Karen were so caring and considerate throughout the arrangements

and although there were a couple of issues that cropped up, they were resolved with the upmost urgency. The night before the funeral I received a call from James J who explained in great detail how the day would proceed, all the bearers were attentive and every minor detail was carried out with so much care for those grieving. Also, I would like to say thankyou to David C for a wonderful service, it was delivered with so much compassion and felt like he new my dad personally.

Having to make these arrangements were heartbreaking, but I have to admit that FE Greens went above and beyond to provide all the care, compassion that they could for a fitting good-bye for my late father.

A big thankyou from all the family.
