Cheap Funerals Walsall What You Get With Simple Funerals

Cheap Funerals Walsall What You Get With Simple Funerals
Our Cheap Funerals , or as they are better known Direct cremations, which are priced at just £499 plus disbursements, will never become the first or obvious choice for all Walsall or West Midlands families, but with the growing interest in this choice of simple funerals a trend away from the traditional funeral service is clear. Middleton and Wood independent family funeral directors are pleased to provide affordable, cost effective family funerals in Walsall and surrounding towns such as Rushall and Bloxwich . We acknowledge traditional funerals are on the whole reasonably priced and offer good value for money when compared with the services of other professionals, but we are fully aware of the hardships Walsall people are facing at this present time. For someone to opt for a funeral service or celebration of life without the costly presence of a dead body is not a straightforward decision. When weighed up with an open mind though, and compared against an all bells and whistle traditional funeral, the savings to be made are very substantial. So how do we reduce the cost of a cremation funeral for Walsall residents without reducing the level of professional, compassionate and dignified funeral directors services Middleton and Wood local independent family funeral directors are known for? The answer is, we strip out all those extras that in recent years we have all come to expect. Take the cars for example. Hiring a new Daimler hearse to transfer the coffin to a crematorium like Streetly on Little Hardwick Road in Aldridge can set you back approximately £175, and if you decide to hire a matching Limousine expect another £170 - £200 to be added to the bill. In these times of austerity, this may seem like a frivolous expense for just one hours use. Add to this the cost of a clergy or celebrant, another £100 - £150, flowers £100 - £400, obituary £40 - £50, viewing, embalming, top notch coffin, the list goes on and on, all the way to an average cremation funeral bill of £2850 at present. With Middleton and Wood's Cheap Funerals we looked at all these expensive additions, then removed them, which dramatically reduced the cost of funerals, to leave Walsall residents with affordable family funerals. The bereaved of Walsall, Pelsall, Brownhills or any other town in the West Midlands, are left with low cost funerals that include the following: Collection of the deceased from a hospital or mortuary in normal working hours Provision of a wood coffin for cremation Direct transfer to a crematorium of our choice, at a time to suit us, for a private cremation Provision of our experienced funeral director’s services Assistance and advice on registration of the death Care of the Deceased at Our Funeral Home Disposal of the ashes by scattering in a garden of remembrance. Return of the ashes is available at an extra cost Provision of a certificate of cremation As I said at the start of this article, Cheap Funerals are not for everyone in and around Walsall. What simple funerals do though is offer Walsall residents affordable, professional funeral directors services, at a time when every penny counts. Middleton and Wood's cheapest funerals do not mean lower levels of service, cheap funerals in Walsall are exactly what they say they are, affordable family funerals that save you money. [wp_geo_map]

Cheap Funerals Cost Just £499 For A Cheap Funeral Directors Services
When you have just lost a loved one, comparison-shopping for the cheapest funeral cost probably isn't the first thing that you want to do. But with the average cost of a funeral standing at over £2,800, by checking out the Internet for cheap funeral directors is going to save you some serious money. That £2800 is an awful lot of money, even in better but we are now once again living at a time of record unemployment and savage cutbacks. I'm sure those recently bereaved have better things to spend that kind of money on than flash hearses, expensive limousines and top of the range coffins, all the things that push up the cost of funeral services in the United Kingdom. I can remember someone once saying that "When you can't afford the cost of living, it goes without saying you can't afford the cost of dying." And the funeral trade has noticed this over the last 3 or 4 years, ever since the economic downturn set in, and things are not about to get better any time soon. People are looking to reduce basic funeral costs , cheap funerals is what they are looking for and Middleton and Wood of Burntwood have come up with probably the cheapest funeral in the United Kingdom at present. The Direct Funeral is an answer to those who have asked for a cheap cremation service . No longer will you have to accept what the funeral director suggests, no flash limo or hearse, no more stating one price when you ask how much is a funeral only to discover the funeral directors pushing up funeral prices with service up sells. Middleton and Wood's cheap cremation funerals remove all those things many people see as being unnecessary and expensive, leaving you with affordable funerals but still maintaining the high level of professional service you expect from independent funeral directors. In these times of austerity, with payments from the social fund being frozen year on year, wages being squeezed and everyone uncertain of their job, the last thing you need at a time of bereavement is the added stress of having to find nearly three thousand pounds to pay for the cost of a funeral . With Middleton and Wood of Burntwood's cheap funerals starting at only £499 plus disbursements, our basic cheapest funeral cost a little over £1200, as I said quite a saving on the average cost of a funeral .
