Choosing a coffin is often one of the hardest aspects of arranging a funeral. For some families it is the most difficult, visual and emotional element associated with discussing the funeral arrangements. We recognise this and will offer as much help as possible in a caring and compassionate manner. Remember, this is a natural part of the grieving process.
Planning your loved one’s last journey is important and it is natural to want their last journey to be special. For many people, the funeral cortege is one of the most poignant aspects of the funeral. We are proud to provide a beautiful fleet of environmentally concious, black hearses and limousines for your loved one's final journey in the funeral cortege.

Cliff Bradley & Sons are proud to be members of the Association of Green Funeral Directors, an organisation established to support funeral homes in offering more environmentally responsible choices, while helping families find services that reflect their values. For us, this is a natural step. In recent years, we have introduced fully electric and hybrid vehicles into our funeral fleet, alongside wider steps to reduce environmental impact across our day to day operations. We also offer a considered range of eco-friendly options, including sustainable coffins, natural burial choices and simpler, more environmentally conscious services.
Mothering Sunday can bring many emotions. For some, it is a time of love, togetherness and celebration. For others, it can be a difficult day, missing a mum who is no longer here, grieving a child, or simply wishing that someone special was still part of the day. As we approach Mothering Sunday, we invite anyone finding it hard to share a message through our online dedication page, a gentle space to remember, reflect and celebrate the life of someone they love. In support of The Menopause Charity, all donations raised will help provide vital support to women around the country.
As another year comes to end and we begin a new chapter, we extend a sincere thank you to everyone who donated in memory of a loved one through our online tribute facility.

We take full responsibility when dealing with obituary notices, liaising with you, family members and the press to publish a tribute that is accurate, announcing the death of your loved one and their funeral details.
