Our funeral services

From the start, our company philosophy has been that a fair price should be charged for a fair service. We won't exploit your situation, we'll care for you as much as we'll care for your loved one and help you create a fitting tribute to suit your budget.

We provide a professional service to you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and will be pleased to discuss your funeral service requirements in the comfort of your own home.

What to do when someone dies

There’s no rush to make decisions or take action at this stage, but you can contact Adams Funeral Directors at any time and we will help guide you through each of the different steps so you know exactly what you need to do.

We will talk you through every aspect of the process that you need to know at this early stage so you can make informed decisions about your loved one’s funeral.

West Indian funeral services

As specialists in West Indian funerals, Adams Funeral Directors understand the needs of the Afro-Caribbean community and deliver beautiful, bespoke funeral services for each and every family, because not every family is the same. We’ll spend time getting to know you and listen to your instructions so that the funeral is delivered exactly as you wish.

Our funeral directors can help arrange a celebration of life in memory of your loved one. We will contact the church and cemetery to secure a suitable date and can provide the necessary transport including horse drawn hearses and seven seat Jaguar Daimler limousines for mourners.

Since all of our funerals are bespoke, we can offer you a range of American-style caskets and coffins, service booklets which can be adorned with photos of your loved one, and our own dedicated florist can work with you to create beautiful floral tributes to decorate the coffin and the church.

On the day

At the end of the funeral service, the coffin/casket can be opened for a viewing before continuing to the cemetery for the burial if you wish.

After this, the family usually assist in the filling of the grave following the lowering of the coffin, often accompanied by the congregation singing traditional songs and hymns.

In our experience, funerals can last between 3-5 hours - our Funeral Director Craig Adams will never rush you and will be at your assistance for the whole day, ensuring you and your family are well taken care of throughout.

Direct cremation

While we are happy to provide you with the most bespoke funeral services available, we also understand that some people prefer something a little more low key. This is why Adams Funeral Directors provides a direct cremation offer - the same care and compassion but without the frills.

A hearse will transport directly to the crematorium where the cremation will take place and the ashes will be available to pick up 48 hours later.

We offer this service for £1,800. Contact us to find out more.
