A meaningful funeral can start with a blank canvas.

New research shows that nearly three quarters of UK adults believe a funeral should reflect the person who has died.

Freddie’s family created a celebration shaped around the seven-year-old boy they loved. Amrit’s family brought together faith, memories and time to tell the story of his life.

Their experiences show families what they can ask for and what becomes possible with an independent funeral director who listens.

We’re supporting SAIF’s campaign to help more people understand their funeral choices. SAIF independent funeral directors

Pure Cremation is a company.

Simplicity Cremations is a company.

Direct cremation is a service. Your local funeral director can provide this, often for less.

A prepaid plan is a product any good local funeral director can provide, and yes, it can be a direct cremation.

Our direct cremation allows you to choose the date so that you can have a moment, light a candle or play their favourite music (whilst at home), at the time we attend the cremation. Alternatively you can witness our arrival and entry to the crematorium.

The heavy advertising by some expensive large brands can be confusing sometimes. Please don't hesitate to call or email if you are unsure.

Dean Brothers are your local independent funeral director since 1827, and still family run. We offer prepaid funeral plans and we offer direct cremations. We can also help you plan a memorial service and we have the relationships and contacts to help you with this.
