Supporting you along the way

We understand that there is a lot to think about, so if you do need assistance with your loved one's funeral arrangements, our funeral experts will offer you all the support you need.

What to do when someone dies

What to do when someone dies

It’s perfectly normal to be unsure of what you need to do following the death of a loved one. These step-by-step guides will carefully explain everything you need to when someone dies, helping you through each stage of the process.

Planning a funeral

Planning a funeral

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.

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.

We offer a wide range of products – from traditional headstones, kerb sets, urns and benches to remembrance trees, plaques and vases. 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.

Professional service from the initial contact right through to the burial. They kept us updated every step of the way and were always on hand to answer any queries that we had. Their attention to detail and compassion shown to us as a family was second to none.

I wouldn’t hesitate using their services again.

I was very impressed by the way the Staff I dealt with at Ginns and Gutteridge helped me with all things not mentioned directly on my father's funeral plan.

Nothing was too much trouble and with all the stress of losing my father, they made things more straight forward and easier for me.

Not only was the person I dealt with Sally very kind and helpful, but she had two trainees with her, and they will certainly make good members of the team. When I had to phone up and speak to another member of Staff, I was shown the same courtesy and I felt like everything mattered to them.

On the Friday 8th July the day of my father's Cremation, the Usher, Scott was extremely helpful and very attentive to my every need. He explained what was due to happen and how everything would take place and everything went smoothly. I was so impressed that when I decide to do my own funeral plan, I will definitely be using Ginns and Gutteridge again.

Thank you all very much for making a very stressful day go smoothly and without a hitch. I will also recommend yourselves to any of my friends who need Funeral Directors.

Ginns and Gutteridge handled all the arrangements for my step-mother’s funeral in a most professional and sensitive manner. Special thanks to Kimberely Tyler, who personally ensured that all of the family’s requirements were fully met. Mr Graham Vyse

After losing my mother we as a family wanted to do the very best for her and arrange a personal funeral for her .So we decided to use the Dignity Evington village Leicester,funeral directors,from the moment we rang we knew we had chosen the right company, Imogen was perfect she was professional, knowledgeable,yet so kind and patient, nothing was too much trouble,all our wishes were met,and when we changed our minds on things it was dealt with effectively,she had to ask difficult questions but she did it in a way that didn't distress us.

Once the funeral was arranged we were then introduced to another team who took us through things for the day and again with the same kindness and professional manner,the team rang to introduce themselves and explain what would happen,they also asked how we all were which was a lovely thing to do,

We weren't put under any pressure to buy the most expensive things, it was made clear the important thing was we got what we wanted,

Wonderful caring staff.

If anyone has lost a loved one and needs to think who to go to in their time of need for arranging a funeral please go to Dignity they will help you in every way and make the most terrible time the easiest it can be.
