The Shone & Shirley team offers our community a modern service, meeting traditional and family values while giving the families we care for flexibility and freedom of choice on how they want to say good-bye to your loved one.
Pricing
Transparent Pricing, Personalised Care
Every farewell is unique, which means every funeral is tailored to the wishes of the person being remembered and the needs of their family. To help you understand the costs involved, we have created a range of example service options. These packages include many services that are often charged separately elsewhere, including professional care, documentation, arrangement meetings, use of our facilities, and 24-hour support.
Whether you prefer a simple cremation, a private family gathering, or a fully personalised funeral service, we will guide you through every step and provide a clear estimate before any arrangements are confirmed.
No hidden fees. No unexpected charges. Just caring, professional support when you need it most.
