The Personal Funeral
The Personal Funeral
The Personal Funeral option suits those seeking a personalised farewell, balancing simplicity and individuality. With a focus on simplicity, this type of funeral is designed to provide a meaningful farewell without unnecessary costs, allowing you to personalise as you think best.
We are all unique and we believe that the funeral you are organising should reflect that. We will work with you to create a bespoke and personalised funeral, fitting for the person that has died.
Perhaps you have a traditional funeral at a church in mind, or a funeral at the crematorium that celebrates the life of the person that has died. Alternatively, a woodland burial that is an eco-conscious option may be more fitting for you. Our experienced team can help you. All of our bespoke funerals can be tailored to meet any budget.
With our Personal Funeral, our aim is to remove any stress related to payment during a difficult time. We will pay all third-party costs on your behalf and then invoice you, in full, 1-2 weeks after the funeral has taken place. This final bill will be payable within 30 days.
We are fully transparent with our costs and will provide you with a full estimate that breaks down all services.

FAQs about the Personal Funeral
-
Are there any hidden costs or additional fees we should be aware of?
-
At Tom Owen and Son, we pride ourselves on transparency, especially when it comes to costs. The price of our Personal Funeral covers all the essentials for a meaningful service. However, should you opt for additional customisations or services not included in the base package, we will provide you with a detailed estimate upfront, ensuring you're fully informed with no unexpected surprises.

How does the payment process work for the "Personal Funeral"?
-
Understanding the emotional and financial stress during this time, we aim to simplify the payment process. For the Personal Funeral, we cover all third-party costs upfront, providing you with peace of mind. We then present a detailed invoice 1-2 weeks after the service, which is payable within 30 days. This approach is designed to alleviate any immediate financial burden, allowing you to focus on saying goodbye.
If funds are available, payment can often be paid from the deceased person's bank account by taking a copy of the invoice and a death certificate. Funeral expenses are one of the few costs permitted to come out of an estate prior to probate. -

How can you customise your Personal Funeral?
All of the funeral options we offer have scope to personalise if you wish; some personalisations incur additional costs to pay to third parties. Please contact us to discuss this further.
The main ways to personalise your funeral service can include:
Burial or Cremation?
The choice of funeral, whether a burial or a cremation, is an important first option to start the journey of personalising your funeral service.
Religious or Celebrant Led?
Next step to personalising your funeral, is to choose whether you would like a religious or celebrant led funeral.
Service Booklets
We create and design our service booklets, from scratch, to reflect the person that has died rather than a template that's been used for 100s of funerals before.
Floral Tributes
We create fresh funeral tributes, inhouse, to help ease any stress on you. Tell us your favourite colour or flowers and we'll sort it!
Our inhouse florist is on hand to answer any queries you may have.
Visual Tributes
Whether its a photographic slideshow, live streaming or help with photographs, we can help you create a unique visual tribute to the person that has died, using their favourite music or images.
Vehicles, bearers and coffins
From your coffin, to whether family or friends carry your coffin in to the chapel to the vehicle you are taken. The options really are endless when it comes to personalising your funeral.
Please speak to one of our Funeral Directors if you would like more information.
