Professionalism & Sensitivity

When something as emotive as death happens, it’s easy to lose your balance.  Sadly decisions may need to be made at short notice, and it can be difficult to focus.  We focus on how well we care for you at this time, so how did the team rate for gentle and compassionate guidance?

Condition of Venue

What makes a great venue fantastic?  It’s not just the location or size; it is the small things that make the difference, temperature, cleanliness, decor, ample parking and quality outdoor areas.  Together creating that all important thing… ambiance.  We have a choice of venues, each one with its own unique characteristics that generate an atmosphere of calmness and serenity.

Catering Services Provided

The after funeral event is an equally important time; the sharing of good food, a great coffee or a nice cup of tea. Sometimes this is when the best stories are remembered. We offer an affordable and flexible menu that is delicious, well presented and caters to specific dietary requirements and requests.

Initial Contact

First contact is most likely to be by phone and often this is outside of normal office hours.  This initial phone call can be emotional and distressing.  Rest assured that at Lamb & Hayward any call 24/7 will be answered by an experienced caring staff member and not by some random call centre.
