Local people caring for local people since 1869

To assist families during their time of bereavement, Geoffrey T Sowman Funeral Directors provides a funeral to suit your needs and your financial circumstances. Please feel free to discuss your budget with us.

Sowman’s incurs costs for taking care of the details - newspaper advertisements, flowers, cremation arrangements etc. So the bill you receive is really three accounts in one:

Our charge for our service
The casket
Charges for the arrangements we have paid for, such as advertisements etc.

Please ask for a written estimate.

We can advise on a range of assistance available for families requiring help with funeral costs. Assistance and advice can also be given on closing bank accounts and on application for funeral grants.
