Funeral arrangements
These are within your own home or within the offices at Redcar and Marske. Funeral arrangements vary in time but I always suggest an hour and a half to go through the necessary arrangements and required documentation. Once the arrangements have been made you will receive an estimate of the charges, including those made on your behalf. A time and date for the funeral will also be agreed within this to suit your requirements. This will all be issued to you in writing, usually 24 hours after the arrangements have been made.
