Your questions,
answered.
You do not need to have everything decided. We are here to help you understand the choices.
Select a question to read more.
Can the Parkgrove service be private?
Yes. You can choose a private service for close family or an open service. The memorial at your chosen venue can welcome the wider circle of friends, neighbours and others who would like to remember your loved one.
Does the memorial have to come afterwards?
No. The Parkgrove service can take place before or after the memorial. We will help agree the order, check venue availability and allow time for the journeys between them.
Can we have a hearse and traditional limousines?
Yes. A hearse can be used where required, and traditional family limousines can be hired if desired. We will talk through your preferences alongside the Mercedes Vito and clearly set out your transport arrangements and costs.
Can the coffin be at the local service?
If you would like a funeral service with the coffin present at a church or another suitable venue before travelling to Parkgrove, we can discuss the arrangements and hearse transport with you. For a pre-set service at Parkgrove, the coffin will already be in the chapel when your family arrives.
How do we find out the cost?
The Memorial Package starts from £4,435: the Bespoke funeral from £3,685, plus £450 for additional memorial service support and £300 for the Mercedes Vito and driver. Venue hire and chosen extras are additional. Contact us to talk through your services, venues and journeys; we will provide a written quotation confirming the full cost before you decide.
