Frequently asked questions

When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.

You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and as such we abide by The Funeral Director Code. We also have a legal obligation to try and ensure the person who is arranging a funeral has the right to do so, or has permission from those who do.

If you are aware that someone has been appointed as the administrator, you should only arrange the funeral with this person's agreement.

If there is no Will or Letters of Administration, then the responsibility would pass to the next of kin.

A Memorial is a way of creating a lasting memory to help remember a loved one.

Dignity has been established for over 200 years and is one of the UK's leading providers of Funerals and with an 'Excellent' Trustpilot rating (02/24). We are proud to help our customers every year with a diverse range of Memorial products and services to help remember their loved ones.

We also offer more personal and modern options such as jewellery, pin badges and photo related memorial products. As well as completely customised items.To organise your Memorial contact us on 020 8547 1556

From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.

A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.

Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

The team at Frederick Paine in Kingston are incredible. They listened and provided guidance after our father died and I genuinely felt they had our family’s best interests at heart. They are all naturally warm, compassionate - and when the time was appropriate they would lift the mood with their good humour. I’m sad father didn’t get to meet them because he would have really liked them.

My heartfelt thanks to Rowan from the Kingston branch. From start to finish she assisted me in every step of the way for my late mother's funeral. I would be lost without her. She was very professional and at the same time sympathetic and so calm.

At the funeral service Mark and his team were very obliging and attentive. The professionalism and kindness shown to me on that day made it a day to remember. I left the service with joy in my heart. So my appreciations to Rowan,Mark and the rest of the team. God bless you all.

I would like to thank all the staff, especially Rowan at the Kingston office, so much for the amazing service we have received arranging my mother’s funeral. On the day of the funeral, Quentin and his team were wonderful and dignified and he directed us all in his calm and very respectful manner. Also, thank you to the designers. The order of service booklet and photos were beautifully arranged. We are extremely grateful.
