Funeral Services

Funeral Options

Funerals are becoming increasingly expensive, and we try our hardest to keep our fees down so that they are affordable, and that we also offer fully inclusive packages to families, so you know exactly what you are paying.  There are always options to “add on” or “upgrade” if you choose to but these are not necessary fees.

If you are having trouble affording the cost of a funeral, then please talk to us.  As we may be able to help you work something out with you.

You will find that our prices are lower than most funeral homes but we absolutely refuse to compromise on our levels of dignity, quality, personal service, and excellence that we pride ourselves in offering every family.

From the day my family stepped into your office, you showed them full support and made them feel at ease.

I couldn't appreciate Craig,Louise and Chris for all the support they've given my family over the tough time loosing my mother. I really wouldn't go anywhere else they made sure everything was just as perfect as we wanted things. From the bottom of my heart thank you so so much for looking after my mum while she was in your care and making things as perfect as you did. Such lovely people.

We were recommended Brunel, by family friends, when my mother-in-law passed away. From the very start Louise and Chris led my husband and I with kindness, understanding and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble and what is a difficult period, was made far less stressful with their help. We can highly recommend Brunel and are thankful they were recommended to us!

From the moment we entered Brunel we felt at ease. Craig was kind, considerate and very professional. He assured us there was no rush and gave us the time we needed over the next few weeks to arrange my mum's funeral how I wanted it. On the day, Chris and his colleagues arrived in plenty of time and were very helpful and patient and helped us fit a car seat. I cannot recommend them highly enough, they made a very hard day easier.

I would highly recommend Brunel Independent as Louise made it feel very personal and was excellent at explaining each stage of this daunting process, without being intrusive in any way. The team can arrange practically anything you would like, which helped to make it feel as comfortable as it could do on the day, where Chris and the team were amazing. Thank you.

I’m so glad I chose this company following the death of my grandson . They helped us deal with his death with such empathy and kindness. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel comfortable and at ease . Each and every member of the team acted at all times with the utmost professionalism and were never surprised at the requests that we made no matter how strange ! We chose a non religious ceremony and had a celebrant Joss who was amazing . I would not hesitate to use them again if I ever have the misfortune to have to arrange another funeral a big thank you to Louise Chris and Craig xxx

We will help you through the process
every step of the way.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which funeral service is best for my loved one?

    First things first, did the deceased take out a funeral plan? If yes, they have probably included details of what type of service they would like, as well as their preferred flowers, transport, reading, hymns/music, etc.

    If your loved one died suddenly or never took out a funeral plan, don’t worry. The team at Brunel Funeral Directors can help you to make the arrangements by taking into consideration the needs of the deceased and your budget.

    Some people want to have a traditional burial or a religious ceremony, whereas others would much rather have a simple send-off.

    Our funeral directors in Bristol will be more than happy to talk you through the different options available at our funeral home in Westbury on Trym. We’ll never rush you into making any decisions either, so take as long as you need!

    How much does a simple yet dignified service cost?

    Not everyone wants a traditional funeral service or burial plot when they die. And that’s where a direct cremation comes in.

    This includes a simple cremation service with no mourners, minister or ceremony – just the funeral director and pallbearers. It allows the deceased to be laid to rest in a dignified manner, and the family to gather at a later date or on a special occasion (i.e. a special birthday or anniversary) to celebrate the life of their loved one.

    When compared to other funeral types, which can cost thousands of pounds, a direct cremation is the cheapest option. At Brunel Funeral Directors, our prices start from £1250 in Andover and £1459 in Bristol.

    Of course, an oversized coffin will increase the price, but our team will be more than happy to offer a tailored quote for a simple, dignified funeral service. So, why not give us a call on 0117 374 2002?

    Can a funeral service be personalised?

    Absolutely! Here at Brunel Funeral Directors, we offer a host of traditional funeral services and bespoke options to suit both yours and the deceased’s needs.

    Whether your loved one had a special request regarding transport on the day of the funeral or they asked for a certain song to be played at the service, let us know.  We’ll do everything we can to help you give them the send-off they would have wanted.

    Another great way to personalise the funeral service is to opt for a specialist coffin or casket and adorn it with beautiful coffin sprays, wreaths or letters to spell out their name.

    Some people also ask mourners to dress in a certain colour, as opposed to the traditional all-black funeral attire, following the deceased’s wishes. Vibrant colours often reflect their life and personality.

    For more tips on how to create an individual funeral service for your family member or friend, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our funeral directors in Bristol.

    How long does it take to organise a funeral?

    Funerals often take place within 1-2 weeks after the death. However, it can take longer depending on the circumstances.

    For example, if the death was unexpected or suspicious, a coroner may need to carry out an inquest which can delay the process of making the arrangements for the funeral. Similarly, if family need to travel long distances to attend the funeral, you may consider organising it for several weeks after the death.

    Here at Brunel Funeral Directors, our caring and compassionate team can assist with every aspect of the funeral arrangements – including planning when the funeral should take place – taking into account the needs of the deceased, minister and mourners.

    It’s hard to put a timescale on things when organising a funeral, as everyone grieves differently. That’s why our Bristol-based funeral directors will talk you through the different options and never rush you into making a decision.
