How we can support you

You’ll probably have a number of questions and thoughts about organising a funeral. Our job is to listen to what you want, and gently guide you through what you need.

All our funeral arrangements start from a blank page. There is no template, formula, or time pressure. Nor is there a set way of working. Whether you prefer calls, emails, Zoom, or meetings, we listen and adapt to how you want to organise the funeral.

Find out about the choices available to you, see our services & costs, or look through some helpful resources.

2. In-depth appointment
If we both feel like Poetic Endings is the right choice for you, we’ll arrange an in-depth session with one of our funeral directors (Louise, Clare or Joanna) to discuss your plans, provide you with a range of options, and help you to work out what might suit you best. Your funeral director will be your point of contact throughout and will be available for as much support and guidance as you need.
