Frequently asked questions
When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.
You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.
Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.
If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.
Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

We were delighted at the professional and compassionate service that Johnsons provided for us during the difficult time when our dad sadly passed away. All of the staff treated us with care and all of our requests were dealt with quickly. The funeral went smoothly and we never felt rushed. Highly recommended.

Jamie and the wonderful team at Johnson Funeral Directors were extremely professional and competent in their organisation of our dad's funeral. But it is the caring, compassionate and respectful manner in which they do this, that makes the service stand out. From the first meeting, you feel completely safe in their hands and are given time and space to make all the difficult decisions. Jamie is exceptional at his job and really understands that every family is different. Thank you to all of the team, especially to Lilly, who helped us so well at the funeral, and to Bryan who drove the family carefully and respectfully to the crem.
