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.

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.

I can't thank Lisa and all the team at Smith's funeral directors enough for their empathy and compassion they showed when arranging my dad's funeral. When first meeting Lisa and going through all the funeral details she kept me up to date all along the way. Thank you for making a difficult time alot easier.

We used Smiths Funeral Directors in Blantyre following the death of my mother. We cannot thank them enough for the way in which they dealt with all the arrangements and assisted us with advice when we were unsure. Very reassuring at a difficult time.
