Funeral Arrangements

Taking care of funeral arrangements in Borough Green, Longfield and Dartford

In the aftermath of a bereavement, it can be difficult to deal with the necessary bureaucracy. Stephen P Gay Funeral Service can take care of all the details, so you don't have to worry. We can also send the final account to you or your solicitor, whichever you prefer. We serve Longfield and Dartford and Borough Green.

Ensuring you are aware of the disbursement

Initially, we will ask you for an amount of money to pay for the disbursement, which is the fee that needs to be paid in advance for the cemetery or crematorium fee. We will verbally inform you of all ongoing costs accrued and confirm these with a written estimate, sent by post, for your approval. Our services are available in Borough Green, Longfield and across Dartford.

Complete details for registration of the death

Before the funeral can take place, you'll need to register the death. We can advise you on the process and make an appointment for you to see the registrar. The death will need to be registered in the county where it occurred. We can advise you on the documents required and act on your behalf whenever legally possible. Get in touch with us for more details.

Compassionate repatriation services

Our specialist services extend to helping you with the repatriation of your loved one back to the UK or another country, including:

• An international repatriation service from or to any country

• Advice on documentation and coffin requirements

• Removal to chapel of rest out of hours, 7 days a week

A fitting obituary notice

If you would like to place an obituary notice or an expression of thanks for sympathy in any local or national newspaper, please advise your funeral director, who will arrange this on your behalf. We will need to know the following:

• Name of the newspaper(s)

• The day or date you want the notice(s) to appear

Writing obituary notices can be difficult, so we're here to help you with the wording if you require our assistance.

Managing funeral expenses

We request that all accounts be settled in full within 4 weeks of the service. However, should there be circumstances that make this difficult, please keep us informed. Our sympathetic team at Stephen P Gay Funeral Service is always here for you.
