FIRST STEPS GUIDE
We are always delighted when our clients take the trouble to let us know we helped them at such a difficult time
"At such a sad and difficult time, we appreciated the compassion, respect and professionalism shown to us by all the staff at Carters. Our emotions were obviously raw and their support throughout the entire process was so reassuring. Staff were always happy to answer any questions, when little things were very important. Sarah designed our order of service perfectly and made sure we were happy before going to print. Carters also arranged a beautiful little service for the interment of Ashes at the Cemetery. Always there to help and support but not to influence, I would never consider using any other funeral directors."

Helping you with every aspect of funeral planning
For those new to making funeral arrangements, it may look like there is a long list of things to consider. S. Carter & Son is here to guide you through every aspect. The main aspects to consider are:
- Did your loved one want to be buried or cremated?
- Did they want a religious ceremony or a humanist one?
- Did they want a lavish ceremony or a simpler affair?
- Did they have any wishes for the type of funeral transport?
- Did your loved one make any other requests (for example, the music they wanted)?
We can help with planning for these aspects and more, to give your loved one the service they deserve. With decades of experience, we are in the perfect position to ensure everything is taken care of and advise on anything you are unsure of.
Pre-paid funerals
A growing number of people are making the decision to plan their own funerals, to save their families stress. With a funeral plan, you can guarantee your funeral director's costs will not increase. An allowance towards the 3rd party costs, for example, crematoriums, minister is paid into the plan. The shortfall of these 3rd party costs are payable at the time of need. We can advise on any requests from the recently deceased, and ensure their requests are honoured.
