We work with several local crematoriums depending on your family's wishes and circumstances, including Rushcliffe Oaks, Wilford Hill, Loughborough, and Trent Valley. On the day, our team will guide the cortège from wherever the service begins — perhaps St Mary's Church in East Leake or St Lawrence Church in Gotham — and accompany your family through every moment at the crematorium, ensuring nothing is left to chance.
Not at all. Our team covers a wide area including Kegworth, Hathern, Sutton Bonington, and all the villages stretching across to Rempstone and Normanton on Soar. Wherever you are in the surrounding area, we are here to support your family and can come to you when you need us most.
When someone has died, you do not need to have everything figured out before you call us — that is what we are here for. Our team can talk you through the immediate steps, including arranging for your loved one to be brought into our care from anywhere across East Leake and the surrounding villages. We can also advise on the paperwork and registration process so that nothing feels overwhelming in those first difficult hours.
Yes, and we are experienced in arranging services that honour a wide range of religious and personal beliefs. We work closely with local clergy and faith leaders, including those at Our Angels Catholic Church in East Leake and Sutton Bonington Church, to make sure the service reflects what mattered most to the person who died. If your family has particular traditions or wishes, please tell us and we will do everything we can to accommodate them.
Yes — you can park directly on Main Street outside the funeral home, or use the parish council car park just across the road, which is free of charge. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and the building has full wheelchair access as well as an accessible toilet, so every family member can be comfortable and present when making arrangements.
