What we do
As independent funeral directors, we like to do things a little differently here at Brunel Funeral Directors.
We have been supporting bereaved families in our local community for more than 45 years and appreciate just how stressful it can be to make the arrangements for a funeral. That’s why our caring and compassionate team will do everything they can to reduce the burden.
When your loved one comes into our care, they will remain at our funeral home until the day of the funeral. You’re welcome to come in and discuss your requirements with our funeral directors near Newport, and we’ll never rush you into making any hasty decisions. Take as long as you need.
Funeral arrangements
Organising a funeral can add to the stress and sadness that you’re feeling. However, our funeral directors close to Newport are on hand to assist you every step of the way – starting with giving your close friend or family member the send-off they truly deserve.
At Brunel Funeral Directors, we provide several funeral packages and services, offering something suitable for everyone.
These include:
- The Brunel Cremation – an all-inclusive cremation service including the conveyancing of the deceased into our care, preparation of the body for viewings, the provision of a hearse and pallbearers and a simple 20 minute service at Canford or South Bristol Crematorium for £2,380 or Westerleigh Crematorium for £2,390.
- Direct Cremation – a simple yet dignified cremation with no attendees, minister, or ceremony as such. This type of funeral is the ideal option for those who want a fuss-free send-off, as the bereaved don’t have to make any tough decisions regarding the coffin, flowers, transport, and venues. Instead, they can celebrate the life of their loved one at a later date.
- The Bespoke Service – a personalised funeral service that’s tailored towards the needs of the deceased and your family. You can choose everything from the flowers and music to the hearse, coffin, and dress code – ensuring your loved one gets the send-off they would have wanted.
If you’re unsure which funeral package to choose, why not get in touch with our funeral directors near Newport? We’ll gladly talk you through the options available and answer any questions you may have – either at our funeral home, your home or over the phone, wherever is most comfortable and convenient for you.
Other services
Most funeral directors in Newport will take care of the funeral arrangements on your behalf. But here at Brunel Funeral Directors, we go above and beyond for our families – ensuring that every funeral is as individual as your loved one and their wishes.
Whether you’d like to adorn the coffin with colourful sprays or use a simple bouquet of the deceased’s favourite flowers at the graveside, we can provide it. You can also have flowers sent to our funeral home and our team will prepare and care for them right up until the funeral, giving you one less thing to worry about.
Aside from taking care of the floral arrangements, our funeral directors close to Newport offer a full masonry service. We can clean and repair an existing headstone, ready for the name of your loved one to be engraved in a font of your choice. Or we can offer a no-obligation quote for a marble, natural stone, or granite headstone.
In addition to this, we have a selection of jewellery and memorabilia available at our funeral home on the edge of Westbury on Trym – including scatter tubes, caskets and urns, memory teddies, paperweights and fingerprint necklaces in silver, gold and rose gold.
Funeral plans
Though not something all funeral directors in Newport offer, we provide pre-paid funeral plans from Golden Leaves. Not only does this give you a chance to have your say on the type of service, coffin and music you’d like, but it also saves your family financial heartache in addition to their grief, after your passing.
One of the biggest benefits of taking out a funeral plan is that you can relax knowing that you have the costs covered. You can either pay upfront in one lump sum or spread the cost with monthly instalments over 1-5 years. And getting started is simple, as Golden Leaves don’t require any medical checks.
