W.A. Forsey founded Forsey and Son in 1946 based upon a very simple but important mantra:
We still strongly believe that in whatever service we offer this ideal should be upheld and that care and consideration is ever-present. Details of our funeral services and what they include is shown below, but to discuss the options in more detail with our team of dedicated staff, please contact us at your convenience.
Our Professional Services, included in all of our funeral options, are:
We have shown below our funeral package options, but we understand that every funeral is different and therefore we are happy to discuss your exact requirements and create a truly bespoke and special funeral for your loved one.
September 2024 Update
At Forsey and Son we fully understand that when you find yourself on the difficult journey of losing someone dear, you need a funeral director that you can trust, depend upon and be safe in the knowledge that their priority is taking care of you and your family in the best way possible. We pride ourselves in the transparency that we share with our families and this will forever be important to us.
Following a considerable reform from the government concerning the way that Medical Certificates are issued (you can learn more HERE), we have collaborated with our local crematorium to be able to offer a very competitive price of our highly recommended Unattended Direct Cremation package.
We have also amended a number of our other packages prices to ensure these changes brought in from September 2024 have been correctly passed on to all of our families.
Details of our four funeral package options and the bespoke funeral option are contained within the links below.
For those wishing for a quiet and dignified cremation, with all of the care of a ‘traditional’ funeral, but without the ceremony, we offer our ‘Unattended Direct Cremation’.
£1,850
£1,595
For those who still wish to attend the crematorium to say goodbye to their loved one, but do not wish for the pageantry of a ‘traditional’ funeral, we offer our ‘Attended Simple Cremation’.
£2,545
We recognise that a ‘traditional’ or ‘normal’ funeral does not exist, so can tailor our services to give your loved one a truly unique and personal send off through our ‘Bespoke Funeral’.
from £2,825
For close family and friends who still wish to say a personal goodbye, we offer our Pavilion ‘Simple’ with Direct Cremation service, which makes use of our charming on-site space; The Pavilion for an intimate gathering followed by an unattended direct cremation
£2,225
£2,095
Whereas our Pavilion ‘Simple’ with Direct Cremation package is a more intimate reflection service, this option is a comprehensive in-house offering, with a full service permitted, without travelling to the crematorium. The Pavilion can also be used as a venue for refreshments following the service.
£3,195
£3,095

* Disbursements for the ‘Unattended Direct Cremation’ and ‘Attended Simple Cremation’ options are included to permit the funeral to take place. Disbursements for the ‘Bespoke Funeral’ can be added at prices in accordance with our Additional Options Price List. Please speak to one of our Funeral Directors for options and prices.
** Whereas there is flexibility on the date of the ‘Attended Simple Cremation’ the service times are dictated by the crematorium, and tend to be early in the day. In addition, each crematoria has differing levels of permitted attendance. Please consult a Funeral Director for details.
*** A simple coffin is included as standard, but other options are available at an additional cost.
Funeral Directors are now required to publish a ‘Standardised Price List’ which will facilitate comparisons with other Funeral Directors in the local area. In addition to comparing prices, we have highlighted the below points to consider when choosing a Funeral Director:
In additional to the Standardised Price List, we have also included a list of our Additional Options which can be used to better understand the prices of the additional services we can offer as part of our Bespoke Funeral.
We are also required to list our key terms of business, ultimate business ownership and a disclosure of interests.
