The Best Funeral Services Southampton  

When the worst thing that can happen to anyone – losing a loved one – happens to you, it can leave you feeling a lot of things. Such a loss can take time to process, and planning a funeral service is usually the last thing you want to be dealing with. For some people, it can be too painful to deal with. The good news is that J Lawrence & Sons are here to lend a helping hand. 

Our Southampton funeral directors have a great deal of experience providing the best funeral services. For the last 150 years, we’ve planned modest and elaborate funeral ceremonies tailored to the wishes of the deceased and their families. We can help in a wide range of regards, from procuring flowers to handling the music arrangements. 

We just need a few important details from you to get started. You can also purchase a coffin from us, or, if opting for cremation, we have a range of urns available. You can even elect to scatter the ashes in a location of your choosing. Whatever your request is, we’ll endeavour to make it happen, easing your burden while you process your grief. 

And with pre-paid funeral plans available, you can even spare yourself the expense – funerals are expensive occasions, and our plans ensure that you have one less thing to worry about. For more information, keep reading or get in touch with J Lawrence & Sons today.

Funeral Financing Options  

Financing a funeral can be a daunting task. You want to give your loved one the send-off that they deserve, but funerals are not cheap to fund. We’ve seen it before, family members or friends stretching their finances to breaking point to fund the necessary arrangements. This only adds to the stress and upset you’re likely already experiencing. 

That’s where our funeral financing options can be a godsend.  

Pre-Paid Funeral Plan  

We offer pre-paid funeral plans courtesy of Golden Charter Funeral Plans. You simply set up the plan and make monthly instalments, accruing the funds necessary to pay for your funeral in full or in part at the time of your death. With a pre-paid funeral plan, you can even organise the entire funeral. Upon your death, we’ll follow the plan when making the arrangements. 

Not only does a pre-paid plan spare your loved ones any financial burden, but it also enables us to proceed with planning your funeral service in accordance with your wishes.
