My father passed on a Sunday afternoon, my husband called tribes, the receptionist was very kind, and advised they would be with us within the hour (which they were).The two men that attended were very professional, kind and gave us the time we needed to say goodbye before dad was respectfully taken to their chapel of rest.
Paul at their lancing branch was so helpful, he thoroughly explained the options available, and how we could make it tailored to exactly what we wanted; he answered many emails and calls from me and we got the funeral we think our dad would have liked. Paul arranged all the photo tributes (we had 3) music, live streaming/recordings for family members abroad and the order of service with our celebrant Julie.
We decided to all make our own way to the funeral, and to all meet at their Shoreham chapel. It is a lovely building, modern, clean and welcoming, everything is in one place, it is all on one level so good for elderly/disabled people attending the service and celebration of life afterwards; no one having to get back into cars to go to another venue. Dad was already there, in the chapel when we arrived. We opted for a rattan teardrop coffin which was very gentle on the eye, everyone commented on how nice it was (as coffins go).
The service was just under an hour then everyone made their way to the catering rooms for afternoon tea, which was very nice, Paul arranged for a screen to play photos on a roll and we had dads favourite tunes playing in the background. We used their caterers and bought our own bubbles to raise a toast to our beloved Dad.
Dad’s friends and family all said what a lovely service it was and how much dad would have liked it!
I bumped into one of dad’s friends daughters a few days later and she said both of her parents were so impressed with the service, that they both requested that have the same service with tribes that we choose.
If you are unsure of which funeral directories to use at a time of great sadness, look no further than Tribes, I highly recommend their services from start to finish, so glad we choose them. Thank you Tribes and Paul.
