Our business terms.

For all our ceremonies, we ask you to pay our invoice in advance of the funeral. If this payment is not received, the funeral cannot go ahead. We accept payment by bank transfer or cash. If you would like to pay by cheque, this can be done with prior arrangement.

For most ceremonies, we ask to receive payment from you on the day before the ceremony.

There are some occasions where we ask that payment be made three days before the funeral namely:

• If you have made an application to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) for a payment from the Social Fund, the difference between the amount we estimate the DWP may pay and the total cost of the funeral must be paid a minimum of three working days before the day of the funeral.
• For funerals where our client (the person instructing us in the arrangements) is not resident in the UK, the total cost of the funeral must be paid three working days before the day of the funeral.
• If you have chosen a Direct Cremation or Direct Burial, payment must be made, in full, a minimum of three working days before the cremation/burial.

If these payments are not received then the cremation/burial cannot go ahead.

We reserve the right to charge interest on any overdue amount at the rate of 2% per calendar month or part thereof until the account is settled in full.
