Mannings Funeral Directors, we have a well-established relationship with both the Roman Catholic and Anglican Church. We are here to help advise and guide you on the preparation and organisation of a service to suit all of your requirements.

[H2] Eco & Woodland Burials

As people are becoming more aware of the environmental issues, coffins have been produced to cater for different requirements. Coffins constructed from sea grass, willow, wicker and even cardboard offer an alternative to the more traditional timber construction. These eco coffins can be used for both cremation and burial.Woodland burial grounds have also been established in recent years to offer a more natural setting for burial. Once the coffin is interred, either a tree is planted in place of a headstone or the burial ground is left with no marker, allowing the natural landscape to remain intact. A beautiful location near our premises is Midford Natural Burial Ground. Characterised by deep valleys and flower-rich grassland, it is the perfect resting place for your loved one.

A green form that will be given to the funeral director, allowing the funeral to proceed.A white form (BD8) to be sent to the Dept of Work and Pensions, which gives details of pension or benefits.A death certificate – there will be a minimal charge for this.

[H2] H. M. Coroner

There are a number of reasons why a death may need to be referred to a Coroner. However, this should not give cause for undue alarm. The Coroner is a judicial officer, independent of local and central government, who is required to act in accordance with certain laws. Any sudden or unexplained death must be reported to the Coroner who will ascertain the cause of death and if necessary, investigate any unusual circumstances.Occasionally the Coroner may be able to establish by simple enquiry whether the death was due to natural causes, and therefore will allow a doctor to issue the death certificate. If this is not the case, a post-mortem examination may need to be held. This examination will usually indicate the cause of death and then the Coroner will issue the relevant paper work to the registrar and funeral director, allowing the funeral to proceed. However, if no obvious cause of death is found, toxicology may be required.If the death is not due to natural causes, for example a road accident, the Coroner is obliged to hold an inquest. This is to determine:The person’s identity.When, how and where the death occurred.The cause of death.The inquest may be adjourned for several weeks while the relevant information is gathered. However, the Coroner will issue the relevant documentation for burial or cremation and provide the next of kin with an Interim Death Certificate until the inquest is finalised. This certificate can then be used for bank and insurance purposes.The funeral director is fully conversant in this area, and we will liaise with the Coroner on your behalf.

[H2] Probate

When someone dies, somebody has to deal with their estate. This involves collecting the money, paying debts and distributing what remains to those who are entitled to it. Probate is the court’s authority, given to a person to administer the deceased’s estate and the document issued is called the Grant of Representation. This document is usually required by the asset holders as proof to show the correct person has the probate services’ authority to administer the deceased person’s estate. The probate service deals with ‘non-contentious’ probate business and issues Grants of Representation, either:Probate – When a deceased person has left a valid will and an executor is acting.Letters of administration with a will – When a person has left a valid will but no executor is acting.Letters of administration – This is usually when there is no valid will.These grants appoint people known as personal representatives to administer the deceased person’s estate.
