Where to start
About UsThese choices can help you add personality and meaning to the funeral; ranging from the coffin, to flowers and ceremony accessories. If you’d like something that isn’t listed here or in our brochure, talk to us and we’d be happy to organise it for you.
Cremations
Choosing a cremation for a loved one is a deeply personal decision.
At Sheppard Funeral Directors, we’re here to support you every step of the way – with compassion, clarity, and care. Whether you’re planning a traditional attended service or a simpler farewell, we’ll help you create something meaningful, tailored to your family.
Burials
Whether you’re planning a simple graveside gathering or a more traditional service in a church or chapel followed by burial, we’ll help you create a farewell that truly honours your loved one.
Our experienced team can help arrange burials at public or private cemeteries, natural woodland sites, or even on private land where appropriate. Whatever your wishes, we’re here to guide you through the options with care, compassion, and attention to detail.
Direct Cremations
A simple, dignified goodbye – on your terms.
Our local Direct Cremation offering provides a straightforward, no-fuss alternative to a traditional funeral. It’s chosen by families who prefer simplicity, privacy, or who plan to hold a personal memorial at a later date. We’re here to guide you through the process with care and clarity.

Funeral Costs
We believe in being open and transparent about funeral costs, so you can make informed choices with confidence.
Our team is always here to help explain your options and provide clear guidance with no pressure or obligation.
