Bespoke Funeral Services in the Great Yarmouth Area
Many people are now opting for direct cremation as a substitute for traditional funeral services. It provides a straightforward and pragmatic method of laying a beloved family member to rest.

Talking about death and funerals isn’t easy. That’s why we recommend taking care of things your way, on your terms, with a funeral plan. From a traditional funeral to something simpler, with a plan in place, you can ensure you get the send-off you want. A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third-party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service.
At Murrant Family Funerals, we’re proud to partner with Golden Charter, one of the UK’s leading funeral plan providers.* With a Golden Charter funeral plan, you can choose us as your preferred funeral director. When the time comes, we’ll take care of your wishes locally with the utmost care and respect
