Whether you’d like us to take care of every aspect of the funeral or simply assist you and your family in giving your loved one the send-off they truly deserve, our caring and compassionate team can offer as much guidance and support as you need.

Our funeral directors near Tetbury won’t rush you into making any hasty decisions – so please take as long as you need and ask as many questions as you want.

Funeral arrangements

Though it’s only natural that you want to make your loved one proud and give them the perfect send-off, organising a funeral isn’t the easiest thing to do – especially when emotions are running high.

However, before they sadly passed away, they might have taken out a funeral plan or told you what sort of funeral they’d like – be it a small, intimate ceremony for immediate family and close friends or a large gathering to celebrate their life.

Even if they hadn’t made arrangements for their passing, our funeral directors neat Tetbury can talk you through the different packages and services we provide and help you choose the most suitable one for their wishes and beliefs.

These include:

• The Brunel Cremation – an all-inclusive cremation service that’s perfect for those who don’t wish to be buried.

Everything from the conveyancing of your loved one into our comfortable funeral home to the preparation of the body for viewings, the provision of a simple coffin and hearse, and a short yet dignified service will be included in the overall price.

• Direct Cremation – if your loved one wants to be laid to rest peacefully, without a fuss, direct cremation is ideal.

With this option, there is no formal ceremony or mourners present on the day – just the funeral directors and pallbearers. Relatives can gather at a later date to commemorate their life, once they have had time to properly grieve. This could be after they’ve collected the ashes or to mark a birthday or anniversary.

• The Bespoke Service – a 100% customisable funeral package to reflect the life and beliefs of your dear friend or family member.

Since you knew them best, you and your family can decide on every detail, including the type of coffin and hearse, as well as the readings, music, flowers and dress code.

Other services

At Brunel Funerals, our funeral directors close to Tetbury go above and beyond for bereaved families, helping to lessen the burden of arranging a funeral.

As well as booking the date, time and venue of the service, we can also inform the celebrant of your music and reading choices. This will give you one less thing to worry about and will ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible on the day.

Our team can take care of the flower arrangements on your behalf, too. We can provide colourful sprays, hand-tied bouquets, simple posies, letters or specially shaped tributes to adorn the coffin or graveside, as per your request.

It’s also possible to have flowers sent to our funeral home on the edge of Westbury on Trym, which is less than an hour’s drive from Tetbury. We’ll care for them until the day of the funeral and transport them to the service.
