Simple Funeral Services

While many families opt for traditional funeral services some prefer a more low-key and simple farewell, one that is in line with their own personal beliefs and values. Whether it’s because they don’t want a lot of attention, or because they would like to keep things simple, we offer simple funeral services that cater to these specific needs.

Our funeral directors will work closely with you to ensure that the farewell is a true reflection of your loved one, while also ensuring that it is simple, dignified and respectful. We believe that every individual should have a unique funeral that reflects their life, and our goal is to help make this a reality for you.

What Is a Simple Funeral Service?

When a loved one dies there is inevitably a sense of shock and bewilderment, which may also include concerns about affordability.
At the initial stage of making funeral arrangements, it is worth talking with us to raise any concerns about funeral affordability as we can direct you to potential sources of financial help from the government and suggest simpler funeral options that are still dignified and respectful. These suggestions may include limiting proceedings to a simple grave-side service or choosing a simple coffin which offers further savings while still retaining real Oak veneer. These options are also popular with individuals who just liked to keep things simple.

There are two types of governmental financial support which may be available to help deal with the more immediate costs caused by the death of a spouse or civil partner and/or for those who are on a low income. You can click here to learn more about who may be eligible for this support.

We can also offer payment plans to work with your financial circumstances. We are here to help you through this difficult and distressing time so please do not face affordability concerns alone.

If you’re wondering ‘what is a simple service?’ we’re here to help.

For more than a century and across four generations, our team has provided simple funerals that fulfil the wishes of people across Newtownards, Bangor, Dundonald and more.

Unlike a traditional funeral, simple services are typically more understated and considered more affordable. There will be no frills, and sometimes the service itself will be shorter or smaller.

From here, the service will often follow a similar process to traditional funerals, following the wishes of you and your loved one.
