£1,495 + disbursements
Arranging a funeral at Worthing Crematorium can bring difficult challenges during an emotional time.
Managing the overall cost of the funeral
With some local Worthing funeral directors charging over £3,000 for their services and the coffin alone, the total cost of a funeral can quickly escalate once disbursements are added, making it financially overwhelming for families.
Ensuring the funeral reflects your loved ones' wishes and values
If the deceased didn’t leave specific instructions, it can be difficult for family members to make decisions about the type of funeral, whether to opt for cremation or burial, and how to incorporate any special requests, which can add to the emotional burden.
Coordinating the timing and logistics of the service
Aligning the availability of Worthing Crematorium, the celebrant, and the venue for refreshments, along with managing family schedules and the funeral procession, requires precise coordination. This, combined with handling legal paperwork, organising vendors for flowers, catering, and drinks, writing an obituary, and overseeing charitable donations, makes the planning process both emotionally taxing and logistically complex.
Choosing the right music, readings, photos and eulogies for a meaningful ceremony
Planning a meaningful funeral involves several key tasks, from honouring the deceased’s personality and selecting the right celebrant or spiritual leader to crafting a heartfelt eulogy. It also includes choosing photos for a slideshow set to music, selecting appropriate songs, agreeing on the order of service, and designing and printing service sheets, all of which require careful thought and attention to detail.
Let us smooth the path & deal with every issue for you with the absolute minimum of fuss.
Managing the overall cost of the funeral
Our professional fee for an attended service at Worthing Crematorium, including a coffin, is £1,495—less than half the price charged by some local Worthing funeral directors. Most of our clients find their total funeral costs, including disbursements, come to around £3,000, making the process more affordable and easing the financial burden on families.
Ensuring the funeral reflects your loved ones' wishes and values

-
Engaging your family in sensitive discussions about your loved one’s personality and values to guide your decisions.
-

-

-
Handling all legal paperwork promptly.

Organising third-party vendors for flowers, the wake, catering and drinks to ensure everything runs smoothly.
-
Assisting with the obituary, charitable donations, and other details so you can focus on grieving.
-
