Providing essential guidance and practical help for everyone facing a bereavement throughout the UK
About us
In keeping with a desire to be at the forefront of technological change that will affect the funeral profession, this website aims to provide information and guidance about all funeral related issues that the general public, the bereaved, and you want to know about.
To ensure that we answer the questions you have, this website monitors all search enquiries for funeral-related questions asked on the internet through search engines. The more questions that are asked about a particular subject, the greater is the chance that we will adapt the site so as to answer those questions.
A prime example of our willingness to evolve is the development of this site from Funeral Assist to Low Price Funerals in July 2002 to Funeral Search in January 2003. This is not to suggest that a "low price" is no longer important; it is simply a recognition of the fact that other aspects are equally important - value-for-money generally; environmentally-friendly funerals; green coffins that are biodegrad-able or give off fewer harmful emissions when cremated.
Our philosophy of continuous improvement and a willingness to learn and adapt goes beyond the virtual world of the internet to the introduction of practical products that matter to the bereaved, such as the Cocoon TM coffin. This unique development has the potential to revolutionise the funeral industry, and we are proud to offer this product through this website.
This national (United Kingdom) web site was developed from a need identified by a funeral business with strong tradition of service and innovation to help the bereaved and their families. If you wish to contact us directly write to:-
