Did you know that corporate direct cremation companies aren’t always the cheapest option? At Collier & Brain Funeral Directors a direct cremation also comes with the option of additional services that an anonymous online provider simply couldn't offer.

Your loved one will also be looked after locally and you will be dealing with an experienced Funeral Director in person. Why go national when local does it so much better?

You deserve a human touch, a local face and a team that handles everything with care.

'The Enablers'
So often the Funeral Directors at Ernest Heal & Sons receive such positive feedback on the services we have provided. But what enables us to provide that service?
Although our Funeral Directors are often at the forefront of the funeral arrangements, each funeral is not delivered by an individual. There is a strong team behind every funeral, ensuring your loved one is cared for at every step of the journey.
Meet our team of Funeral Operatives, Richard, Martyn & Steve.
The team ensures that everything behind the scenes is prepared to a high standard and in a timely fashion. From ensuring that the ceremonial fleet is immaculately presented, each coffin is prepared to a high standard and floristry deliveries are cared for- this small team really do their share and more often than not, go above and beyond.
