Changes to funeral services

To allow adequate social distancing, measures have been taken to protects the safety of residents and staff during this time. Public toilets will only be open during service times, services will all be 20 minutes long and all services will be at a standard rate.

Families and Funeral Directors are asked to limit the number of mourners attending funerals, many of whom could be elderly and vulnerable, to no more than 15 mourners until further notice. We very much hope that mourning families and friends will understand the need for this change and families are asked speak to their appointed funeral director if required.
