We offer a comprehensive range of services, including cremations, burials, monumental masonry, and international repatriation.

Our team takes the time to understand individual wishes, providing guidance and support through every stage of the process. For those who wish to plan ahead, our funeral plan options offer peace of mind that arrangements will be carried out exactly as intended. We also provide an online funeral announcements service, making it easy for friends and family to access details of upcoming services. For further support, our Help, FAQs, Glossary, and Useful Information pages cover practical advice and common questions.

Meet the Team

Having had to turn to Steve and his team for the second time in as many years I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, compassion and comforting manner in the way they guide you through the arrangements allowing you to plan the celebration of your loved one's life in your way and ensuring every wish you have is accommodated and respected. Also, a special mention to Victoria, one of the celebrants attached to Mears, who delivers the service memorably with a tone of compassion and a smile to ensure that your loved one's life is remembered. Thank you all again!!
