Questions and answers

We have on-site parking directly at our Waterloo Road funeral home, including a designated disabled space, and if those spaces are taken there is a large free car park behind The Prince of Wales Pub just nearby. The building is fully accessible at ground level, with a ground floor arrangement room, wheelchair access throughout, and an accessible toilet. We want every family member to feel comfortable and welcome from the moment they arrive.

Whenever you are ready to call us, our team is here around the clock — you do not need to wait until morning or until you feel composed. We will come to wherever your loved one has died, whether that is a home near Bebside or a hospital, and bring them into our care at our Waterloo Road funeral home. From there we can talk you through the paperwork, including registering the death, at whatever pace suits your family.

We arrange all kinds of funerals, including services at local churches such as St Cuthbert's Church, St Bede's Church, St Wilfrid's RC Church, and Central Methodist Church, as well as non-religious ceremonies and secular celebrations of life. Whether your family has a faith tradition you want to honour or you are looking for something more personal and informal, we will help shape a service that feels right. Our team takes time to understand what matters most to you before making any arrangements.

We do cover Seaton Delaval and are very familiar with families in the surrounding villages, including Holywell, New Hartley and Seaton Sluice. Our funeral home on Waterloo Road in Blyth is well placed to serve all of these communities, and our team will come to you wherever you are. You never need to worry about whether you fall within our reach.

We work with two crematoriums — Cowpen Blyth, which is local and familiar to many Blyth families, and Whitley Bay, which some families prefer for its setting. On the day, our team will guide the coffin and your family from the service through to the committal, managing every detail so you can focus on being together. We will explain exactly what to expect beforehand so nothing feels uncertain.
