Funeral Directors Trowbridge

But our funeral directors near Trowbridge are here to guide you every step of the way – helping you to come to terms with their death, and make the arrangements for their funeral in your own time.

What we do

As one of Bristol’s independent funeral directors, we guarantee a personal and friendly approach at Brunel Funeral Directors.

We’re willing to go the extra mile for our bereaved families – helping you give the deceased the send-off they truly deserve, without causing any undue stress or heartache.

We appreciate that everyone grieves in their own way. Some will mourn immediately after finding out the sad news, while others prefer to grieve after the funeral has taken place when their loved one has been laid to rest.

Our experienced funeral directors close to Trowbridge can take care of everything from booking the date, time, and venue of the ceremony to arranging the transport and flowers on the day.

However, if you’d like to keep yourself occupied by getting involved with the process as much as possible, we will work closely with you and the rest of your family to ensure your loved one gets the farewell they would have wanted.

With Brunel Funerals, you can trust that our caring and compassionate team is always on hand to offer guidance and support in your time of need, for as long as you need it.

We’ll never rush you into making any hasty decisions, either – so take as much time as you require, and if you have any queries, don’t hesitate to ask.

Funeral arrangements

Here at Brunel Funerals, we aim to remove the burden of organising a funeral and will always take into consideration the specific wishes and beliefs of the deceased.

Whilst we can make all of the arrangements on your behalf, we’ll need to know what sort of funeral your loved one would have wanted (if they hadn’t set up a funeral plan before they passed away).

For instance, did they want a large ceremony with a wake afterwards for friends and family to commemorate and celebrate their life? Or would they have liked an intimate service with few or no attendees?

Our funeral packages near Trowbridge offer something to suit everyone.

These include:

• The Brunel Cremation – Burials aren’t for everyone. If your loved one made it clear that they wanted to be cremated, this all-inclusive cremation service is ideal.

It covers everything from the conveyancing of the deceased into our care to the preparation of the body for viewings, and the provision of a simple coffin and hearse. A short service for mourners to pay their respects will also be included in the Brunel Cremation.

• Direct Cremation – For those seeking a fuss-free send-off, direct cremation is the perfect option, with no formal ceremony or mourners present – just the funeral director and pallbearers.

This type of cremation service allows close family and friends to gather at a later date to commemorate the life of the deceased – either when they’ve had time to grieve, after they’ve collected the ashes from the funeral home, or to mark a special occasion (i.e. a birthday or anniversary).

• The Bespoke Service – If you and/or your loved one have any special requests for the funeral, this package can be 100% personalised to reflect your wishes.

You can choose every detail, from the type of coffin to the hearse, flower choices, and even the dress code – and we’ll provide a free, no-obligation quote.

Other services

While most funeral directors in Trowbridge will handle the arrangements – giving you one less thing to worry about – we go above and beyond for our bereaved families.

Aside from booking the date, time, and venue, we’ll inform the celebrant of your music and reading choices to ensure everything runs smoothly on the day.

Whether you want to adorn the coffin with colourful sprays, beautiful hand-tied bouquets, letters, or specially shaped tributes, we can take care of the flower arrangements on your behalf, too. Just let us know what you need.

You can also have flowers sent to our funeral home on the edge of Westbury on Trym, where we’ll care for them up until the funeral.

Memory teddies can be made from your loved one’s favourite garments to help keep their memory alive. These beautiful keepsakes are available to order at our funeral home, along with fingerprint jewellery in gold, silver, and rose gold.

At Brunel Funerals, we provide a full masonry service – offering a permanent symbol of remembrance for you to lay flowers, say prayers, or take comfort from talking to your loved one. Our headstones are available in marble, stone, and granite, as well as a choice of shapes and sizes. You can also choose a beautiful inscription and font.

If you already have an existing headstone with room on it – which just needs cleaning up or repairing before it’s engraved – this is no issue for our team.

Funeral plans

Taking out a funeral plan is a smart move.

Instead of your loved ones having to make difficult decisions and guess what you would have wanted, you get to choose every aspect yourself – ranging from the type of funeral and coffin to the poems, songs, flowers, and even the theme and dress code (if necessary).

More importantly, a pre-paid funeral plan enables you to contribute towards your ideal funeral before you pass away – saving your loved ones the financial burden.

Here at Brunel Funerals, we provide pre-paid plans from Golden Leaves. With these, you can either pay one lump sum upfront or spread the cost with affordable monthly instalments – whatever suits your financial circumstances best.

If you’d like to know more about our pre-paid funeral plans, our funeral directors close to Trowbridge will be more than happy to answer your questions.
