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.
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.

From the very first phone call with Sally, and our meeting with Jason, myself and my family felt at ease and confident that our Mum would be taken care of with compassion and professionalism. Jason was sympathetic and understanding and helped us through the whole process. He organised everything in a timely manner and kept us informed throughout. The funeral service and burial was a smooth process, carried out with care and concern for our family’s welfare.

We have no hesitation in recommending the services of T.F Morritt. When we received the devastating call that no one wants to receive after my father in law passed away unexpectedly at work Julia was the first person I spoke to and her approach, understanding and compassion were apparent from that very first difficult call. It was Jason who met with us and walked us through the process step by step at a speed we were comfortable with. Nothing was left to chance and every detail was taken care of with compassion, kindness and understanding we had absolutely no issues at all. He even stayed behind to allow us to spend time with my late father in law outside normal hours which was so appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble. I hope we don’t have to deal with their services for a very long time but if we do they will be the only ones I’d consider calling. Massive thanks for all the care and support our family has been given during one of the most horrendous times of all our lives.
With love & thanks

I can not recommend and praise enough how amazing Kerry, Jason and the whole team at T.F. Morritt have supported us over the last month as a family, after losing our mum. From my first telephone call and the appointment to make the funeral arrangements we have had nothing but kindness, care and compassion shown to us. Kerry made the planning of everything so straightforward, not stressful at all. We never felt rushed or pressured to make any decisions. We genuinely felt that our mum was in safe hands, being cared for with respect and dignity. They all made her final journey a beautiful one.

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review Elizabeth. We are deeply touched by your kind words and are grateful for the opportunity to support you and your family during such a difficult time. Kerry, Jason, and the entire team at T.F. Morritt strive to provide compassionate and respectful care, and it means a lot to us to know that we could make this challenging period a little easier for you. Your feedback reassures us that we are fulfilling our commitment to serve with kindness and dignity. Thank you once again for your trust and for sharing your experience. Warm regards, The T.F. Morritt Team
