What a breath of fresh air to find a funeral director who is honest, caring, compassionate and lovely. Alex made the whole process so easy. He listened to everything we said with such grace. I would recommend him 120%.

Strongly recommended. Alex guided our family with so much kindness and skill, ensuring that the funeral for our close family member was a deeply personal and fitting tribute. At a time when everything could feel overwhelming, we were able to rely on him to handle it all. He made brilliant recommendations, sharing a range of excellent local small businesses whose flowers and catering were praised by all the guests. I very much hope not to need to rely on a funeral director again in the near future, but for those in the Newcastle area who are looking for someone who goes the extra mile to turn a difficult day into a beautiful farewell, I cannot recommend Thornhill Funeral Services more highly.

What usually happens after arranging a funeral

Most families arrange the funeral first. Dealing with the estate often comes next — something many people don't realise at the time.

There's nothing you need to do right now. A quick check can help you understand what to expect later.

Often comes up when:

  • Banks ask for paperwork
  • Property is involved
  • Uncertainty about a will
