About Us
Our professional staff bring a discreet and sympathetic approach and offer a range of expertise to help you through this difficult time. We are happy to provide emotional support and we are particularly attuned to the needs of those who have suffered a sudden bereavement. We are also familiar with and understand the requirements of particular ethnic and religious groups.
We have years of experience in the practical aspects of dealing with the death of a loved one and can provide assistance and guidance with all of the documentation and legal requirements involved when someone dies. We will liaise on your behalf with clergy and church and cemetery or crematorium to ensure that all necessary arrangements are made efficiently and correctly. We also deal with matters concerning the police or coroner whenever this might be necessary.
Death can occur at anytime and anywhere. We take full responsibility from the moment you contact us up to and beyond the day of the ceremony. We are available 24 hours a day to provide help, support, guidance and comfort.

The humble beginnings
Established in 2004, formerly known as Thomas and Jarvis Funeral Service based in Steventon for over 30 years.

The business is owned and managed by Michael and Jackie Didcock who personally supervise all of our funerals. We believe that every funeral is unique to the family concerned and our aim is to allow you to pay your respects and say a last farewell in the manner most suitable to you and your loved ones.
