Notice Title

Provision of a Salford Resident Funeral Service

Notice Description

Salford City Council are looking for a partnership with a funeral director to provide a low cost all-inclusive funeral package that covers the cremation or burial cost, collection of the deceased (from within the borough), the use of the funeral director's chapel of rest, the funeral directors services of arranging and supervising the funeral, a hearse and one following limousine, a suitable oak (or similar) finished coffin with engraved nameplate, interior and appropriate handles, the Doctor fees and the cost for the clergy of your choice for the crematorium or grave side service. But ultimately a service which when viewed by the average bystander is not noticeably different from that provided by other funeral directors.
