What we do

Here at Brunel Funeral Directors, we understand that planning a funeral isn’t easy. However, something that makes us stand out from other funeral directors in Redfield is that we refuse to rush our families.

Losing someone you love can be hard to comprehend, so take as long as you need. Our team is here to support you every step of the way and to ease the burden at this emotional time.

Funeral arrangements

When it comes to organising a funeral, there is a lot to consider (and get right) to ensure you give your loved one the send-off they deserve. It’s for this reason that many people seek assistance from our funeral directors near Redfield.

At Brunel Funeral Directors, we will work closely with you and your family, and provide everything you need for the perfect funeral – taking into consideration the deceased’s wishes too.

We offer a variety of funeral services and packages, including:

  • The Brunel Cremation – a simple 20-minute service delivered with complete compassion and care. The price also includes the conveyancing of the deceased to our funeral home, preparation of the body for the service and viewings, a hearse, and bearers.
  • Direct Cremation – a simple yet dignified service with no minister, attendees, or ceremony. Just the funeral staff are present. It provides an affordable alternative to a full funeral service and is ideal if the descendant wanted a low-key send-off.
  • The Bespoke Service – this package is perfect if you want to personalise the funeral with a specialist hearse and coffin. Though the price can vary depending on the items you select, our fees are transparent and we will always discuss your options and choices before offering a tailored quote.

Unsure which package is right for your loved one? Want to use Haycombe Crematorium rather than Canford, South Bristol or Westerleigh Crematorium? Feel free to book an appointment to come and visit our funeral home. Here, we will gladly talk you through the different options over a cup of tea, and assist you with the funeral arrangements. Alternatively, we can discuss your requirements at your home in Redfield or over the phone.

Additional funeral services

All funeral directors in Redfield should arrange care for the deceased, offer guidance and bereavement support to you and your family, and help with the funeral arrangements. But here at Brunel Funeral Directors, we do so much more than that.

Our team can take care of the floral arrangements on your behalf. Whether it be a single posy, coffin sprays, shaped tributes, numbers or wreaths – just let us know what you want, and we’ll have them prepared for the day of the funeral. You can also have the flowers sent to our funeral home if that’s easier.

Scatter tubes and caskets are available too. You will find a selection of these on our website, we also have a vast range at our funeral home so, if you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch.

As well as scatter tubes and caskets, we provide keepsakes, such as glass pebbles and paperweights, fingerprint jewellery, and memory teddies. And like most funeral directors in Redfield, we offer a full masonry service, including an assortment of headstones and font styles.

Funeral plans

Thinking ahead and planning your funeral is a sensible thing to do.

Not only can you relax knowing you have the costs covered in the event of your death – saving your family the financial burden and stress – but it also gives you the option to choose the service you want, which music you’d like to be played (either on CD or the organ), and the type of coffin.

Here at Brunel Funeral Directors, we provide pre-paid funeral plans from Golden Leaves. In terms of paying for the funeral, you can either pay in one lump sum or monthly instalments to spread the cost out over a fixed term. It’s entirely up to you. But the best thing about our pre-paid plans is that the price remains the same, regardless of inflation!

If you have any questions about our funeral plans from Golden Leaves or want to get started, be sure to speak with our funeral directors near Redfield today.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do funeral directors in Redfield charge?

Funeral directors’ fees are typically the most expensive part of the funeral, accounting for between 50-60% of the costs. However, the price you pay can vary depending on numerous factors – including your location and the specific funeral arrangements.

As with most things, funerals are more expensive in the South than in the North, which means you can expect funeral directors in Redfield to charge less than funeral directors in London, for instance.

Whilst most funeral directors collect, store, prepare and deliver the body to the cemetery or crematorium, some may provide a simple ceremony too.

In most cases, additional services and items such as flowers, memorabilia, specialist hearses, and masonry will be charged separately. And depending on the options you choose, the costs can quickly add up.

With that said, it’s always worth finding out exactly what’s included in the overall price before you make your mind up.

Local independent funeral directors are usually cheaper than national chains. So, if you’re looking for funeral directors in Redfield or nearby, be sure to get a quote from Brunel Funeral Directors.

Which funeral service is best?

Whether you’re making the arrangements for yourself or a loved one, deciding between a burial and cremation service can be tricky. But our funeral directors near Redfield are here to help.

In the UK, almost 75% of funerals involve a cremation, which is usually the cheapest option of the two.

With cremation services, the ashes are collected before the next coffin enters. These can then be scattered in the Garden of Remembrance at the crematorium, placed into an urn or casket, or scattered in a special place at a later date.

Our Brunel Cremation involves a simple, dignified service, whereas the Direct Cremation is a more affordable alternative with no mourners, minister or ceremony.

A burial, on the other hand, usually involves a traditional ceremony where the deceased will be placed into a coffin that’s sealed, before being lowered into the ground. There are several options for customising the service – including specialist transport, bespoke floral tributes, music, readings and the eulogy.

The fee includes a coffin, headstone, and cemetery or grave plot, meaning friends and family can visit the gravesite whenever they like – giving them closure.

If you’d like to discuss the options available with our funeral directors near Redfield, call 0117 374 2002.

Is it worth taking out a pre-paid funeral plan?

With the rising costs of funerals, increasingly more people are opting to take out a pre-paid funeral and pay for the funeral they want in advance. But the question is: should you consider one?

Pre-paid funeral plans typically allow anyone over the age of 50 to pay for and make the arrangements for their own funeral – saving loved ones the financial stress and heartache of organising every aspect.

At Brunel Funeral Directors, we offer pre-paid plans from Golden Leaves. Although we always advise you take a funeral plan out if you have the savings to do so, there are several payment options available that can help spread the cost. Meaning you pay for the funeral you would like (not what your family and friends think you would like) at today’s rates. Plus, you needn’t worry about the cost changing due to inflation.
