The decision of whether or not anyone is to visit the deceased is a personal one. Many people take comfort from seeing the deceased at rest and private remembrance rooms are available at our funeral home, or you may wish to have the deceased at your own home.

We are particularly proud of this aspect of our service and know how important it is to our clients. We appreciate that visiting your loved one can be a difficult experience and it is likely to be a memory which stays with you for many years. We will do our utmost to make the visit as comforting as possible so that when you leave us you know your loved one is at rest and in the best possible care.
