green fuse - funeral directors, advisers and conductors
If you need to arrange a funeral, or want to plan a funeral in advance, or simply want to know more about funerals, you have arrived at the right site.
green fuse is passionate about good funerals, helping families to find their own ways to say their last goodbyes. The experience of the time leading up
to the funeral can be as important as the ceremony itself.
Our book, We Need To Talk About The Funeral - 101 Practical Ways To Commemorate And Celebrate A Life, written by Jane Morrell and Simon Smith and with a foreword by Clare Rayner OBE, is a beautiful and practical colour handbook, which offers you all the information, ideas and reassurance you need to prepare a personal funeral that is both an expression of loss and a celebration of life. (Accent Press 2007 ISBN 978-1906125011)
“It has all the information that you need. It is also rather inspiring.” Lesley Garner, The Daily Telegraph.
It is available from bookshops at £14.99, from Amazon or, for immediate use, you can download the entire book as a pdf file for just £9.99.

Funeral Centre at 7, High Street, Totnes. It’s a welcoming place where

coping
with loss and what to do when someone dies. You can come to the centre
to
browse information, consult with knowledgeable and empathic advisers,
make
funeral arrangements, discuss and plan a ceremony, and find and
purchase the
resources you need. We have created a positive and comfortable
atmosphere for
you on the High Street, because death is a part of life and, to feel
empowered

relevant information.

Giving families full
information about all
aspects of
the funeral and the costs, to make choices for a
funeral that
feels right.
Open to participation and
involvement of
family and
friends in any aspects of arranging, devising and holding the funeral -
perhaps
you’d like to have a vigil, decorate a coffin, choose and adorn a
venue, choose
different transport, special music and words
Outstanding levels of service
and value from
all
funeral professionals to make sure you, the family, receive exactly
what you
want for a funeral that will leave you with good memories.
Distinctive funerals that
reflect and
celebrate the

mourning
their loss. These dedicated funerals provide inspiration, hope, comfort

“In the hours and days
following her
death, the thoughtful way in which you worked cleared the path for us
to make
the numerous decisions that faced us and served to minimise our stress,
freeing
us to arrange the farewell of our late mother in the way that we feel
she would
have liked.” Rod Nelson and Clare Ballard
