“The whole team at Taylor’s are exceptionally helpful and thoughtful. I have used their services twice now and cannot fault their professionalism and attention to detail and would recommend them to anyone who is in need of a funeral director. Their prices are also excellent and blow the big chains out of the water for value of money with no compromise in service or quality.”

Why choose an Unattended Funeral ?
There are a number of reasons including;
- The wishes of the deceased. The deceased may not have wanted the ‘fuss’ of a traditional funeral service.
- Unattended funerals are usually carried out on days, and times of the day when Crematoriums and Funeral Directors are less busy. Additionally, simple basic wooden coffins are usually used and the Funeral Director will normally only provide essential basic services. These factors allow costs to be reduced while still arranging for a legal burial or cremation.
- The wishes of the family/next of kin. The family may choose to mark the passing of their loved one in other ways. These can be very apt and personal events.
