COVID-19 Information

Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

This is a very concerning time for everyone right now. We want to reassure you that we are continuing to take the greatest care of our families and arrange funerals in the best possible way. We are keeping up to date with the latest government guidance on funerals and will keep our families informed of any changes.

If someone has passed away at home.

Please contact us at any time, we still cover a 24hr service. We will ask you for the normal information, but we will now also include asking if you know if the deceased or anyone in the property has tested positive for coronavirus. When we arrive, our men will be wearing PPE as a standard precaution, in the event that someone could be asymptomatic. We ask that you follow social distancing whilst our staff are with you.

Arranging the funeral

Where possible we are trying to keep you safe as well as our staff. We will arrange funerals over the phone wherever possible, to minimise contact. Once done we will send the funeral director to your home to hand you the paperwork that has been completed, it will be clearly labelled for you to sign. It is nice for you to meet the funeral director so you know who will be looking after you on the day of the funeral.

If you come to the funeral home to sign the paperwork then you will be asked to wear a mask and sanitise your hands.

All paperwork will be laid out ready for you visit and clearly marked for signing.

  • There are gloves if you wish, masks and automatic hand sanitiser are available in reception.
  • No more than 2 clients may visit the home at any time.
  • We regularly clean all surfaces in the funeral home and use a sanitising fogging machine to sanitise the air.

Note:

During this lockdown we are not offering limousines on funerals. We will bring the hearse to an address should family want to follow to the crematorium.
If the deceased has been tested positive for COVID-19 then due to the airborne nature of the virus we cannot permit visiting in the chapel.
We also cannot take fingerprints for jewellery but you do have the option of ashes into glass keepsakes.

We apologise for any additional stress this may cause but we have a duty of care to you our client and also to the health and safety of our staff.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do all funeral directors take care of the flower arrangements?

    Although it’s not something you can expect from all funeral directors in Bristol, we offer all varieties of floral tributes here at Brunel Funeral Directors.

    Whether you’d like a beautiful spray of flowers to adorn the coffin, a bespoke arrangement spelling out the deceased’s name or a simple posy to place on the grave, our funeral directors will be obliged to help. Just let us know what you’d like.

    It’s also worth noting that flowers can be sent directly to our funeral home on the edge of Westbury on Trym ahead of the funeral. We will care for them until the day of the service.

    For more information about funeral flowers and the bespoke arrangements we provide, you’re more than welcome to give us a call on 0117 374 2002.

    Are scatter tubes available to purchase at your funeral home?

    Yes!

    We supply a variety of scatter tubes, caskets and leaf urns in a choice of sizes and designs at our funeral home – many of which can be seen above.

    Our scatter tubes are perfect for storing and transporting your loved one’s ashes to a meaningful location, whereas our beautiful caskets and urns are designed to create a long-lasting tribute.

    What’s the best way to remember a loved one?

    Losing someone you love is never easy to comprehend. However, there are a number of things you can do to keep their memory alive.

    Here at Brunel Funeral Directors, we supply fingerprint jewellery, including rings, cufflinks, pendants and links in gold, silver and rose gold. These don’t only make for beautiful keepsakes but are the perfect way to immortalise your loved one’s fingerprint.

    We also provide fingerprint keyrings and glass pebbles and paperweights that can be attached to your keys or displayed in your home or office.

    Memory teddy bears are yet another fantastic way to commemorate the life of your family member. Not only are they a constant reminder of your loved one but they allow you to repurpose their clothing and possessions – ensuring they don’t go to waste.
