The Groves Simple Funeral Service Explained

£1600.00 (Plus External Cost)

Our Simple Funeral Option is available to provide a dignified, caring, but less elaborate service for you and your loved one. This option allows for a cremation at Weston-super-Mare Crematorium’s 9.30am appointment. The 9.30am service comes at a reduced cost allowing you to take control of the financial element of the funeral and not run up unnecessary high costs.

This option is ideal for anyone wanting to meet us at the crematorium on the day of the funeral.

When looking at the cost of a funeral it is usually broken down into two sections. The first section is the Funeral Directors fees, with the second section being the third party fees, often called the disbursements or external cost.

Our Professional Service

Our staff, service and expertise will be available to you whenever you require, 24 hours a day. We will make all of the necessary arrangements on your behalf. We will prepare, collect and distribute all of the documentation and pay on your behalf the fees and costs to allow the funeral to legally proceed. We will remain available for any aftercare, advice and guidance as required.

Our meetings to arrange the service are available by appointment (including weekday evenings), and can take place either here at our funeral home or in the comfort of your own home.

Care of The Person Who Has Died

We will bring the person who has died into our care at the soonest available instance, 24 hours a day. The person who has died will be treated with the utmost care, respect and dignity throughout and will rest within a specific area set aside within our funeral home on Worle High Street to ensure an appropriate environment at all times. We will wash, prepare and dress the person who has died in accordance with your wishes. We will dress them in their own clothes provided by you. We will follow any instruction given regarding presentation including your wishes on hairstyles or makeup where appropriate.

We will take great care of any personal effects.

Visitation of the Person Who Has Died at Our Private Chapel of Rest

You are welcome to visit the person who has died at our Private Chapel of Rest. We ask that the chapel of rest visits are by appointment to ensure the exclusive use of our family room and chapel.

Appointments for the chapel of rest are available Monday—Friday, 9am—5pm. There is no limit to the number of visits made or length of time spent within the chapel of rest.

Our Hearse

We will provide our own traditional chauffeur driven hearse to convey the person who has died to the place of the funeral service.

The Coffin

An oak effect coffin will be provided. This coffin has been chosen for you for its responsible and renewable source and for its ability to help in keeping your costs down. When given the option from a wider range, this coffin is one of the two most chosen by our clients.

Handling of The Cremated Remains (Where Applicable)

The crematorium provide a simple green card box in which the cremated remains will rest. Cremated remains can be scattered at the crematorium Garden of Rest, can be collected by a nominated member of the family, or we can collect them on your behalf.

If your wish is for us to collect, you can collect them from us, have them delivered to you or we can hold them in our chapel until such a time as you are ready to move forward with their care.

Charitable Donations

Administration of Charitable Donation is included in this service via our website only. (A donation box for cash will not be provided at the crematorium)
