Next Steps:

The next step is to decide who will care for your family member after the time at home. You will need to decide on cemetery arrangements, and you may wish to hold a funeral ceremony or memorial service.

Natural Grace would be pleased to provide care for the next stage. Please refer to the choices within this price guide when making your decision.

Should you wish to engage an alternate funeral director, our service to you will be complete at the time you ask us to complete the after death care.
