As a small independent business, we pride ourselves on providing the highest standard of personal care, from the very first contact with the families we serve. We understand how important this is, not only emotionally but also when it comes to the cost of a funeral.

We treat every individual and family with equal respect and care, regardless of the type of service they require.
Payment Terms
Our policy is to receive full payment by the day before the funeral is scheduled to take place. Payment can be made via bank transfer, cash, or card.
Our Unattended Cremation Packages
At Shire Funeral Services we offer a few different options for unattended cremations, each designed to suit individual needs while maintaining the highest level of care.
Our most straightforward option, Package A includes:
This package is ideal for those who wish for a dignified, fuss-free farewell.
This package includes both funeral director’s fees and third-party fees. Please note that third-party fees may vary depending on the crematorium selected; however, we anticipate any variation to be no more than £150.
Viewing At Home - £195.00
Where possible, some families choose to have their loved one rest at home for a short time before the cremation. This can offer a familiar, peaceful setting that allows relatives and friends to say goodbye in their own way and at their own pace. Spending time with a loved one at home can bring comfort, help the reality of their passing gently settle in, and provide space for quiet reflection, shared memories, and support from one another. It’s a deeply personal choice, and we’re here to offer guidance and care to make it as meaningful and comforting as possible.
This usually takes place the day before the cremation and can last from an hour to overnight, depending on what feels right for you.
