Viewing your loved one at our purpose built, Essex based facility
There is no charge for viewing your loved one.
Only the applicant can request a viewing appointment, this is to safeguard the deceased. Safeguarding is an issue we take very seriously.
Your loved one will receive no preparation while in our care (washing, embalming etc) and we cannot change their clothing.
There is no limitation to how many people can attend during your given time slot but we ask that you are respectful of other families, who may also be viewing their loved ones.
Appointments must be made in advance and you will be given a time slot for the viewing duration.
Viewings will be approved by the Mortuary team and your request may be denied. In the unlikely event that your viewing request is denied a reason and/or solution will be given if your viewing request is denied.
Your loved one will stay in Essex while in our care
Once your loved one is signed into our care as your chosen Funeral Directors we guarantee that they will stay in Essex.
Our storage facilities are purpose built in Essex and we only use Essex based Crematoriums.
We work closely with our sister company - traditional Funeral Home Adam & Greenwood
This means we can pass you over seamlessly if you decide to go with a different option. We have a number of offices across Essex, making the transfer even more convenient for you and your family.
