Murrant Family Funeral Services

We often mention that our branches (and funerals) are dog friendly and today made Jens day!

This lovely pair accompanied their human mum while she talked funeral plans.

So well behaved and they enjoyed watching the fish tank and of course getting treats!

We often mention how we will strive to go out of our way for the families we look after.

We took this quite literally a fair bit further recently! When we were approached by a local family who wanted their loved one to ultimately rest with her husband in Barnet we decided to ensure that happened the Murrants way.

Jen and Jay travelled to Barnet, London to and with the help of Churchills Family Funeral Directors , enabled the family to have Murrants take care of all funeral arrangements and follow final wishes of the lady, including accompanying her ourselves to Barnet.

It was an honour to help and we met some wonderful people including the funeral staff, the celebrant Roya Collins and the team at the stunningly beautiful New Southgate Cemetery & Crematorium

We learnt that some things are different depending on an area but most importantly, the honour, respect and dignity we all give to the families and the people we look after is matched by others wherever we are.

We felt enormous pride taking Murrants so far from home and would do it for another family in a heartbeat. We are so grateful that this level of trust was put in us.

Apollo House.

Our Great Yarmouth branch has a wonderful space to celebrate someone's life.

Initially we offered 'traditional' services on a smaller scale than a crematorium (20 people) however more recently we have found ourselves adapting to however a family would like to use the space while still being able to offer a delivered funeral service if you wish.

This has seen our 'memory gatherings ' become popular where it is a more informal set up.

It's seen some families just use the room to have a last cuppa with their loved one.

It's been somewhere to dance to a loved one's favourite song.

There is no 'meant to' when it comes to saying goodbye and we invite families to tell us how it looks for them. We are always able to provide what a family envision and are honoured to be able to.

We have a professional music set up with great quality sound, the ability to offer the space privately to a family and other options to make it unique.

Just ask about Apollo House, a lower cost yet completely individual goodbye.

We hope everyone has enjoyed the rare hot bank holiday weekend.

Skipper has spent time in the pool and has done lots of chilling, here with big bro Parker from Parkers Packs.

Our branches are open again tomorrow and we are on the phone 24/7 so if you need us, do call.

This week we honoured a lady for her celebration of life in our Apollo House service room by all donning some form of leopard print which she was known for!

A lovely family who all arrived in various amounts of the same print....here was our attempt!

We try and go out of our way to honour each individual we care for in a way that reflects their personality.

Every little thing matters. 🥰

We are so proud of our Martham branch in the centre of such a lovely village.

It's extra special when we are at beautiful St Mary's for a service.

The stunning church, the music sounding incredible provided by Jay and the wonderful Deborah Walton alongside us, we consider ourselves very privileged.

Today the family we looked after had requested this absolute stunner from Kerry at The Flower Gallery, Martham.

We were astounded at how beautiful it was and it received many compliments.

Kerry has the same ethos as us and believes in top quality flowers, making each tribute with care and going out of her way for each family.

Thank you Kerry. 🥰

Today is National 'love a tree day'!

It's long been known for people to plant a tree in memory of a loved one but there are other natural and beautiful options too.

We partner with Sussex Seed Balls who are able to combine a small amount of ashes with wildflower seeds to create seed balls that can essentially form a beautiful memorial area to visit.

We can arrange these for you if needed and there are several options, do have a look and let us know if we can help.

Today it was great to get a surprise visit from Nevv from Harbour Radio which was lovely!

Nice for Jen and Jay to be able to chat about what we as a small independent funeral director can offer families and you never know, our time previously on air may not have been a one off!!
