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.

In 2022 I used this organisation for the funeral of my mother, Emilia and because of the amazing service I received from Monica, I returned for the funeral of my dear Sister, Myrtle.
Sandy was now the person responsible.
She was quick, caring and professional in the way she dealt with arrangements. Kept me up to date, communicated well with me, the church and the burial personnel.
I would definitely recommend them with no reservations.

Ashton Maxwell did my Mum cremation. Excellent and respectful service. Sandy helped with the organising of the flowers, music and Vicar. On the day they phoned me to tell me what was going to happen and asked us questions on what we would like so respectful

Ashton Maxwell Funeral Directors conducted my mum’s funeral earlier this week. Stephanie and her team done a great job. They rang us in advance to run through the key points of the funeral day pickup/drop off times, flowers, service times etc and were professional throughout the process. David Collins

This is just to say thank you to everyone at Ashton Maxwell Funeral Directors, and especially to Monica and Steph for their help and professionalism during one of the most difficult times in a person's life. I recently lost my partner and cannot praise Monica and Steph enough for making this awful experience a little bit better. Monica arranged everything for me, she guided me through the whole process and made sure I didn't have to worry about anything. She showed me compassion and kindness, and respected every wish and request. I believe she offered me more than what her job description required her to do, and I felt that on top of making arrangements, she took care of me. Their kindness will never be forgotten. Thank you
