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.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Gill and Linda at New Moston. It was a very long arrangement with my mom and made all the more difficult with the distance my brother and I lived. The 2 were absolutely fantastic. No matter the issue, they advised. If they didn't know, they immediately asked elsewhere to find the answer. The funeral director and drivers on the day were great too. Thank you very much for an excellent service from all.

We used S. Wellens for my mother-in-law's funeral in May and were extremely satisfied with the service, so had no hesitation in using them again for my mother's funeral in September. Gill and Linda were very helpful and understanding throughout the whole process, as they were in May. A very professional and caring service.

From the day my Dad passed away to the day of the funeral (11 days) the staff at Wellens were absolutely amazing. There was a funeral plan in place so i suppose things were a little easier. We were so worried about visiting Dad in the chapel but there was nothing to worry about, they did a marvelous job, we'd not seen him that peaceful in a long time. Thank you.

Arranging a funeral at any time especially our mother is a distressing time for all concerned but Gill and her colleagues at Hollinwood Avenue made us feel very welcome and relaxed as the process of the funeral arrangements were explained to us. From the day of arrangement to the day of the funeral nothing was too much trouble with constant contact and update taking monumental pressure away from the family at this sad time. A very big thank you.
