Paying for a funeral

At Rose Funerals we don’t wish to add any further worry or uncertainty at this time which is why once the funeral arrangements have been completed, we’ll issue you with a full written estimate in writing based on the funeral arrangements discussed.

As we may have to pay for some items on your behalf, we ask for a deposit in advance to cover these items which we require to be settled 48 hours before the funeral takes place.  Where a solicitor has agreed to accept and settle the invoice, or a pre-payment plan is in place, the need for a deposit is waived. Invoices are issued after the funeral and payment is due within 30 days. A full range of payment options are available.
