Funeral Directors Dorset
When someone dies, it is often a time when unfamiliar decisions have to be made by those bereaved, or by friends who have been entrusted to make the funeral arrangements. As Funeral Directors, it is one of our principal duties to provide all necessary information on the choices that are available and advise those responsible for the funeral arrangements of any obligations that are expected of them.
As a death can occur at any time during the day or night, W. Smith & Sons provide a twenty-four hour service every day of the year covering the Dorset area. Outside normal office hours Trevor, Roger or Michael personally receive all calls and are able to offer advice and guidance on procedures including what is required to Register the death. Should the death be at a private residence or either a nursing or rest home, a doctor will have to confirm death before we can arrange for the removal of the deceased to our chapels of rest in Dorset, therefore it is advisable to contact ourselves after the doctor has made his visit.
The funeral arrangements are made by means of an informal interview between one of the Mr Smiths and the family or executors of the deceased. Private reception rooms are available at either our Winton or Bransgore Offices both based in Dorset. If it is preferred, we will make an appointment to visit you in your own. W. Smith & Sons can arrange bookings for Bournemouth at our Winton Office and vice versa. If your are in your moment of need and need to talk to someone on an understanding level then our funeral directors at Dorset are waiting for your call. If you are from the Dorset area then give us a ring or pop in to our local branch at Dorset.
