Care That Continues Beyond the Day Itself
Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. We’re here to support you in the days, weeks and months after the funeral.
We know that the journey through loss doesn’t end once the funeral service is over; in many ways, the real process of healing begins in the quiet moments that follow.
Grief is deeply personal and doesn’t follow a set schedule —it often resurfaces in the days, weeks, and months after the final farewell. This is why our family business is committed and passionate about our post-funeral support. Whether you are looking for trusted bereavement care, help with meaningful keepsakes, or practical assistance on estate resources, we are here to offer genuine compassion, guidance and a listening ear.

SAIF Care
As a SAIF Independent Funeral Director we are able to offer SAIF Care bereavement support to our families.
We know that no-one can understand exactly what your loss feels like to you. But we do understand that it’s sometimes easier to talk to someone outside of your friends and family about grief and the impact of bereavement on your life. This is why we offer the SAIF Care service.
SAIF Care bereavement support provides a range of services to bereaved people over the age of 18.
There is also the option for referral into *counselling by telephone, webcam or face to face in your local area by our skilled and qualified bereavement counsellors. (*Fees may apply for this service)

- Helpline support on Freephone 0800 917 7224 which is open from 9am-9pm (GMT) Monday-Friday, excluding Bank Holidays. *Friendly, supportive helpline staff who are available to offer information, advice and a listening ear.

Tell Us Once Service
When someone passes away, there are many official organisations that need to be notified. The Tell Us Once service, provided by the UK Government, helps you do this in one go.
With your permission, they can notify:
- HMRC (Tax Office)
- Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
- Passport Office
- DVLA
- Local council services
Tell Us Once Service
To save you from contacting multiple government departments individually, the Registrar will offer you the Tell Us Once service.
They will either:
- Complete the Tell Us Once service with you or give you a unique reference number so you can use the service yourself, online or by phone.
- This will notify multiple departments (such as the DWP or DVLA) simultaneously.
- You must use the service within 28 days of getting your unique reference number.
