Funeral Considerations

The quoted costs of a funeral may vary depending on who you approach for prices however at Daren Persson Funeral Services we believe in being totally up front and clear about what fixed costs you are going to have to pay for when you arrange a Funeral. Although at Daren Persson we won't ask for any advance payments, we initially settle all disbursements for you and we do understand that financial matters i.e. insurance or social fund payments (which you may be eligable for) may take time to organise. an invoice will be sent approx 7-10 days after the funeral.
