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.

This is my second time using Hayes and English directors and i cant thank them enough honestly they are an amazing team. On this occasion i met Slawek who from the very start made me feel at ease in the planning of my mother’s funeral. He was so kind, supportive, informative and very respectful to myself and younger sisters.
He ensured that all my needs and wants were met.
Like many this was a very tough time for me especially as i recently lost another loved one.
I felt genuine empathy by Slawek, he was patient and i feel he went the extra mile to help bring the funeral together.
Im so glad that Slawek was able to assist us from start to finish to give my mother the send off she deserved.
Thank you once again Slawek my family and i are so grateful for all that you did.
I would 100% recommend Hayes and English.

I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Sławek for organizing my father's funeral. He treated us with immense respect, kindness, and empathy, as if we were part of his own family. Everything was prepared with the utmost care and tact, and during these difficult times, we could count on his full support and understanding. Thanks to him, we felt cared for and at peace that my father's final farewell was carried out in a dignified and beautiful manner. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Sławek's services—he is a man with a huge heart and professionalism.

I have had a wonderful experience with Hayes and English Funeral Directors. I would like to thank Sławek for the continuous support and helping me arrange my father’s funeral. I have never gone through this process and as a young adult have been lost, but Sławek has helped me and my family with his professionalism and knowledge on arranging the best possible funeral, I am so thankful to him and his amazing team. Everyone is very kind and understanding, I recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much!

From my first meeting with Slavek I found him to be very knowledgeable and had great empathy. He listened to what I wanted at the funeral, he showed me all the relevant brochures and was able to answer all the questions put to him a breakdown of costs and gave me as much time as I needed to choose what I wanted from the funeral. At no time did I feel any pressure to make decisions.
Slavek made himself available when I needed his advice on anything on the lead up to my husband's funeral. I believe that Slavek went the extra mile, and I would highly recommend him.
