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.
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.

My family and myself would like to thank you all so much for all your care, respect and warm compassion you showed us at the very sad and difficult time when mum passed.
Mark was so caring and took care of every little detail to make sure everything was special for mum, and was always there for us.
The funeral was beautiful, the music and flowers and service perfect. Mark was very respectful, caring and professional and helped us all through a sad and difficult day.
When dad passed he took care of dad just the same making everything special for dad.
I would highly recommend Mark and everyone at T.F.Morritt Funeral Directors, they really care.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Granville Brooks. From contacting them after my mum Doreen passed away, to the collecting of her ashes, Mark and his team were extremely supportive, respectful, friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and they were in regular contact every step of the way.
I first used Granville Brooks over 15 years ago and even though the staff may have changed over the years, their service is still as good now as it was then.
Thank you Mark and team for all your help.
