I can't recommend Emma, Abbie and Michael highly enough - they are all extremely caring and very understanding of all your needs. A fabulous funeral director and one I would highly recommend if you need the services of an undertaker.

Bridgewater Funeral Services arranged the funerals for both my Dad and my Mum recently and they were excellent. Emma and Abbie took us through all the details so that nothing was missed and they did it at all times in a compassionate and caring way. They dealt with absolutely everything - providing the flowers, connecting us with Lisa the celebrant, creating photographic tributes to music. At the services they made sure that everything went so smoothly, reducing our stress enormously and giving us lovely memories of our loved ones. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I would highly recommend Bridgewater Funeral Services. From the first meeting with Emma I knew Mum was in safe expert hands. The whole process was efficient and well organised with perfect attention to detail. Everything was exactly as I wished for.. Emma and Abbie guided us through the arrangements with empathy and calm professionalism which was very much appreciated at such a difficult time. I felt that they were there for us every step of the way and responded immediately to telephone calls and emails. Nothing was too much trouble. The Celebrant Lisa Bancks delivered the service beautifully and the floral tributes arranged through Bridgwater were perfect. Thank you so much Emma Abbie and the team.

You probably don't need to pay for the funeral yourself
The estate will likely go through probate, which means the funeral costs can be paid from the estate. You need a probate specialist to make this happen.
