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.

I'd like to thank everyone at EH Crouch funeral home for all they did to get my recently passed Dad ready for me to say my goodbye's. Obviously the most heartbreaking and upsetting time in my life to date but from the kind lady in the office I first spoke with to the funeral directors who made my dad look the best they could really gave me comfort and im glad I did it. Holding his hand playing a few of his favourite songs to reminiscing a few stories memories of what we had done together to my final kiss his brow and my final God bless. You all EH Crouch were magnificent. Thank you all 👏👏👏

Charley at the Badock office was incredibly sensitive and made a very, very sad heart breaking occasion as bearable as it could possibly be. She is extremely helpful, and she gave great assistance with ideas/suggestions. I cannot recommend highly enough. A great team overall.

Throughout the entire process of aranging the funeral, your representative gave us her full attention. She was quietly confident and made me feel that I was the only client during a most difficult time.
The only negative comment, already addressed to her, was the lack of a helping hand to get out of the car; getting in was just about ok as there was a head support to grab from the seat in front.
Thanks from Malcolm S and family.
