Prepaid Funeral Plans

It’s all about making the right choices for you.

How It Works

We are pleased to have been confirmed as an Appointed Representative of Independent Funeral Planning Services Ltd (IFPS) to offer a range of flexible funeral plans which can be tailor made to be as simple or elaborate as you desire. Any of the plans detailed in the brochure below can be customised and purchased on a prepaid basis.

Once you have selected and paid for a plan, your money is held securely in an independent trust fund. Here it is invested carefully, to ensure at the time of need the cost of your funeral is guaranteed, regardless of rising industry prices and inflation.

We include 24-hour collection. This is within the North East, no extra charges will be incurred for this at time of need.
Go As You Please Funerals will inform your family on the date/time of the cremation. This way they can think of you or have a toast to you in that moment.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It...

Everything we do is about giving your loved ones a send-off that they deserve, exactly as they would have wanted. But don’t just take our word for it, hear from the families we are proud to have supported:

At what must be described as the worst time of my life, i was faced with an unsurmountable task! The funeral of my soulmate, my rock, the man I had known since i was 16! I had attended our friends funeral for his son and was impressed. Peter had always wished to be cremated and even though we are Roman Catholic, we had decided to go along the Direct Cremation route with a family celebration of life. I was guided through the process and every single aspect of this awful time, was handled with kindness, respect & utter professionalism. Thank You.

David was excellent in his testimonial of Ken and how he helped us cope with the loss of Ken. Donna also in the funeral parlour, when she brought his ashes back to our house - couldn't have been nicer. So when my time comes, I've made a request for your services.

All communication was handled in a professional and compassionate manner. Thank You.

We contacted 'Go As You Please' to enquire about direct cremations after ringing another very well advertised national company. From picking up the call the staff were amazing, they were kind, compassionate, and friendly. My questions were answered thoroughly and nothing was a 'silly question'. The same person who answered my call came to collect my loved one from our family home with a colleague, again they managed the situation beautifully, telling us as much as we needed to know without overwhelming us. Our loved one was treated with respect and dignity - I know this as their bed was made up beautifully after they left. It is definitely the little things that make a difference. As we were not organising a funeral we know we would not have had as much communication, but we were kept up to date every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble. We knew from the initial inquiry call that you were the right people for us. Thank you.

I'm glad it was pre-booked! Everything went like clockwork. Thank You All.

We used your services in 2008 for our grandma Emily Hoult, it was perfect therefore it was without hesitation we returned to use your services again for our mother Sandra Mather. We as a family cannot thankyou enough, with your help we were able to give our mother the celebration of her life she truly deserved. Every member of your staff made this difficult time much easier with their professionalism, their attention to detail and compassion were second to none. Special mention to David and Sumantha, two amazing people. We appreciate everything you did for our mother.

Very happy with everything from the start to the finish. Staff were amazing - very professional, very helpful and always available when needed. The service was exactly the way we wanted it & everyone commented it was one of the best they had ever been to and was exactly what they would like. I couldn't recommend you enough and would really like to thank you all so much for making such a difficult time easier for us to deal with.

Many thanks to your team for looking after my mam at this sad time. Thankyou.

I've got to say, you went above and beyond and gave the most respect towards my mam and family. Thankyou so much.

The whole process was simple & streamlined, which was exactly what we wanted. Friendly & professional service from start to finish. I would highly recommend. Thankyou.

From the moment I called, from moment to moment the wonderful staff, particularly David, were so supportive and sensitive. Each decision we made was treated with respect and empathy. We felt we were able to have exactly the funeral we wanted to celebrate her.

Sorry for the delay in completing this I found it with Mam's ashes. Although she left us in May 2025, I have finally found the strength to scatter them as per her wishes. I can't thank you enough for all that you did for myself and the family during a very difficult time. From the very first conversation I had with David Nicholson I knew we had made the right choice in choosing 'Go As You Please Funerals'. I recall his gentle & soothing voice and this put me at ease straight away. David was patient, understanding, kind and very professional. Mam's send off was perfect. I can't find fault in any part of the arrangements. A million thanks. I will continue to recommend your services to others, and I wish you continued success.

Really happy from start to finish, excellent service, amazing staff - would recommend. Thankyou for making the day go well.

Professional, very friendly, open and welcoming. David in particular has a lovely personality, putting us all at ease in our home during the arrangements and on the funeral day itself - he is certainly an asset to your company. Many thanks to your receptionist, the drivers and everyone we, (as a family) came into contact with during this sad and difficult time. We were made to feel cared for, not just 'business as usual' and in your Cramlington branch, your staff are very special and appreciated.

My mum had paid for her funeral some years ago, she planned her music and her poem. This made such an emotional time less stressful. My nephew and I visited my mum in the chapel of rest and I left with the knowledge that mum was at peace. The celebration of mum's life at the crematorium was dignified and all the team were a credit and showed great professionalism. My mum had a lovely send off, thank you.

Your team were very friendly and professional and would recommend to anyone.

From the second I walked through the door Murdo looked after me and talked me through all of the steps. From start to finish I was well informed of everything, even after the funeral Murdo checked in on me. I can say for my first Funeral arrangement it was better than expected - thanks to Murdo and all of his team.

The celebrant (Heather) delivered Gwen's story in a manner that really summed up Gwen's life. But the extra bits just made the whole service flow and was really well presented.

My family and friends were so emotional, everything was just as we wanted it and the light beside the coffin with Michaels name on it was so lovely - I've never seen that before! Everyone said it was a lovely service and we did him proud! Thank you all so very much for being part of Michael's last farewell it was so lovely!

I would have no hesitation in recommending Go As You Please to family and friends. Having to make that initial telephone call to appoint a funeral director is difficult enough, but David put me at ease immediately. The help and support received from beginning to end has been much appreciated by myself and my family. Heather was amazing delivering a very personal service. The whole team were very helpful, friendly and supportive which made a very difficult time for us all as stress free as possible! Thank-you.

I would like to thank all the staff for their care and compassion at such a sad time, especially David, who my family and I agree could not have been kinder or more helpful. We will certainly recommend your funeral services to friends and family.

10/10 Service, everyone was so friendly and kept us up to date at all stages. The planning of Mam's funeral went so smoothly, everyone was so helpful. The service was beautiful, everyone commented on how lovely it was. Can't thank you all enough. Heather was the perfect person to conduct the service - it was like she personally knew mam. David is so supportive and helped me through a difficult time, never change, you are a gem!

Everything was as expected throughout the process. You maintained the high standards we have come to expect from past funerals conducted by Go As You Please. Many thanks.

During such a difficult time i'd like to express how understanding, gentle, thoughtful and sensitive to our situation in organising our sisters funeral Murdo was. We, as a family were instantly at ease when in his presence. Nothing felt difficult or insensitive. From the beginning of this journey straight through to the collection of Barbara's ashes, Murdo answered all of our questions & queries with elegance and ease. A wonderful gentleman! The day of the funeral was without fault - an excellent service from beginning to end. We highly recommend your company. If all of your staff are of the calibre we experienced - then your company is rich with the correct people! Amazing, thank you!

We have used Go As You Please Funerals before and found them both professional and courteous, as they were again for my wife's direct cremation. Nothing is too much bother and all of our wishes were followed. The whole process was handled both professionally and sympathetically.

We cannot thank Marc from your Consett office enough for helping give my father his best final journey. Marc always kept us informed every step of the way. He is professional and courteous, and made a difficult time a little easier. Marc's suggestion to use Seven Penny Meadow to scatter my father's ashes was perfect. It gave us the personal time to say goodbye after the unattended cremation. Thank you again to Marc and the Go As You Please Team.

Thankyou to everyone for making Roy's funeral so special. We were guided through the whole thing with dignity & caring. Thankyou to the driver & coffin bearers who were so respectful. A special thankyou to David Nicholson. Words cannot express how lovely he was. So dignified & professional at the same time understanding and helpful. Thank you David for all your help. Yours sincerely, Yvonne Whatkiss.

I would highly recommend the team at Go As You Please for their service during a very emotional and difficult time. They are so professional and empathetic, showing compassion for the family and respect for the deceased. Nothing was too much trouble for the team.

David took care of everything and gave us options when we asked for them. His choice of flowers were beautiful. All in all it was a lovely funeral and I knew my dad would've been happy with it. A special thanks to David who was amazing and to our driver who was very professional.

My wife and I are very grateful for the excellent handling of our daughter's funeral arrangements by your good selves. We could not have asked for, or received more. You made a very difficult day that little bit easier to get through. So, to David, Sam, Heather and all the staff involved - a great big thankyou to you all!

Excellent professional services by staff and vehicles, would recommend to anyone. Thank you to all members of staff concerned.

Everything was excellent and very professional with no problems whatsoever! Many thanks to everyone. Would highly recommend.

The GAYP team were very professional during a most difficult time. Their compassion was second to none too! We appreciated all the help and guidance and felt very supported whenever we had questions, nothing was a problem. Your kindness and professionalism will always be appreciated and remembered. GAYP also did my father's funeral 9 years ago and i'm impressed that the standards are still high. A very compassionate team.

All the team were very professional on the day of my mother's funeral. I could not have had a nicer day, everyone worked together making it a beautiful day all round. The humanist was brilliant at getting everything about my mam across to the service, and the slide photos were a bonus to watch, we felt at peace and a calmness in the crematorium. I would recommend your company to my friends and family. We were treated with respect and kindness. Thank you.

Thanks to David and the team for a streamlined, beautiful service. Paul and I had discussed his wishes for funeral requirements, and David did not push or force anything further on to us. The team made a very difficult day bearable. Thank You.

David made what was a sad event easier to cope with. He kept us updated on everything that was happening and the service he did for mam was kind and sympathetic, it was delivered as if he had known her. She would have been very happy with everything. Thank you.

The team were amazing and extremely helpful, I can't express my thanks and appreciation enough. You all went above and beyond!

We had a direct cremation. We found all the staff very kind and very helpful, both in person and on the telephone.

David put our family at ease at this sad time. He went above and beyond, even down to wearing a leopard print tie (which Gill had requested people to wear). Our heartfelt thanks to everyone at Go As You Please Cramlington.

David and his team went above and beyond to give my beautiful daughter the send off she deserved. I'm very grateful for everything you did.

I am very grateful to Go As You Please for making a very sad time as easy as possible. My family felt that Heather helped us with the grieving process with her empathy and kindness. An absolutely 5-star service by kind, dedicated people who really care.

To be honest I didn't know what a Pure Cremation entailed, and at first when I found out - I really thought is this for my dad? Yes it was. No fuss, no hassle & everything done by yourselves. Exceptional service & you kept us in the loop about dad. Thank you all so much, especially having a ride in the limousine up to Cramlington to see dad, the ride back to the Jubilee and also for delivering dad's ashes back home. Thanks again & you will be highly recommended!

Well beyond expectations. Thank you very much.

We as a family were more than happy with all the arrangements made for my son. He was presented in his casket exactly as we wanted him, we could not have asked for more! My son had a lovely send off by all of your team, we could not have asked for more. Thank you.

Lovely. Went as planned, great.

Thank You all for your helpful, professional and kind service during a very difficult time.

Everything went absolutely great. Everyone from Go As You Please were great, Malissa helped if we wanted to know anything. If anyone asked me do I know any good Funeral Directors, I would always say 'Go As You Please' you are a great Funeral Directors. You buried my son, my wife and now Lyn Thompson my sister in-law. I have recommended to people what a great Funeral Director you are! Thank You, Lyn Thompson's son.

The most friendly helpful service which made the situation so much easier. David was just the best, felt we had always known him (lovely). Malissa was excellent on the phone keeping us updated & explaining every step. Couldn't have asked for more. 'Thank you all' - Joan Ritson and family, God Bless.

From the first point of contact Malissa was absolutely amazing, professional & went above and beyond in her role. My son passed away in Qatar, she tracked his flight and informed myself as soon as he landed in Manchester, then on his journey from Manchester to Consett. The family were kept updated with all arrangements. Malissa gave the family the idea of his favourite football team coffin, Newcastle United. Malissa showed empathy and love, we felt she acted on Mark's funeral as if he was a member of her own family. Sophie, his sister recorded a song for Mark which Malissa played while getting him dressed. Malissa telephoned nearly every day to see how the family were coping with our devastating loss. Outstanding service! People are still talking about Mark's funeral.

We would like to extent our gratitude for the support during the arranging of the ceremony & throughout. Malissa did an amazing job and went above and beyond with every request and helped keep us smiling during a difficult time.

Martin's funeral was exactly as I had hoped it would be. A simple meadow burial, with a lovely wicker coffin and 'in season' flowers. The site at Meadomsley was lovely. Heather was excellent as the celebrant, giving us lots of time to talk and remember Martin. If what you want is a grand funeral, this is not for you, but for humanists like my family this was perfect. I'm not sure but I think it was also carbon neutral!

We were impressed from beginning to end. Starting with Malissa, who helped us every step of the way with the transportation of our son Tony, which was so difficult for the family. Malissa dealt with everything so very tenderly and was a great support, with clear instructions all the way. Sam was brilliant, warm and friendly, putting the family at ease. Building on our plans, we loved Sam's ideas - the tags for the coffin were so touching and inclusive. At Seven Penny Meadow, the procession following the coffin with the music was very special. Thanks Sam for the last minute changes. Heather was warm and friendly, put us at ease, we loved her use of words, they were so poetic and described Tony to a 't'. At the graveside her words were comforting and appreciated. We loved that we could use her words in the printed Order of Service. The only improvement point was the volume of Heather's mic, some people, that could not get into the chapel area had difficulty in hearing and of course could not see the short video. Your help and attention to detail made this difficult and sad day very special!

From the moment we called we were well looked after by a very friendly and sympathetic team who made sure everything was taken care of with great care and kindness. When visiting before the funeral, we were met with the same care and friendliness that was given from the start - being given time to pay our respects and goodbyes again in our own time, without any rush. The day of the funeral, everything went as well as we could have wanted and more. Thankyou again for helping us see through such a tough time and taking great care of our loved one who deseved so much.

My husband's funeral was a lovely day and he would be very happy that everything was taken care of for me so professionally.The service was delightful, full of warmth. I would not hesitate to recommend 'Go As You Please' funeral services to my family and friends.

Could not have asked for anything better! Mum would've been proud - Thank You

I initially only chose Go as you Please because I wished my husband to be buried at the beautiful 'Seven Penny Meadow' near Medomsley. However I soon realised that choosing this company is not just choosing a funeral directors - it is choosing a set of real human beings who truly listen, respect and share your vision of how to celebrate your loved one. From the very beginning John, Marc, Melissa and Sam made sure that everything we requested could be put in place - even down to matching us with the most perfect Celebrant - Emma Satchell - who made his Celebration of Life so very special. This is a very special company of dedicated people who put their hearts into what they do, and they do it with the utmost dignity, love, respect and plan things down to the very last beautiful detail. I seriously cannot thank you all enough!

Very happy with the service Go As You Please provided for my dad and the family, always keeping us up to date as we progressed through a sad time.

My mam, Linda Gray, had paid for her funeral in advance. She had thought of everything and left several notes to tell us. I want to say the biggest, heartfelt thank you to Melissa as she was totally amazing! From the minute I met her, I knew we were in safe hands, with her bubbly personality and caring nature she made us feel relaxed, stress free and calm (not how you expect to feel when organising two funerals) She is so helpful and nothing was any bother! She even changed the music for me at the very last minute when I had a panic! Although my mam never met Melissa, I felt she would've loved her. What an asset - keep being you Melissa x

The funeral team were excellent.

Everything was way above our expectations. A very sad occasion was made very special. Thanks to you all.

During such a heartbreaking time, when you can't even think straighjt, the team at Go As You Please Funerals scooped us up and not only took care of everything, but took care of us aswell. Every interaction was thoughtful, supportive and caring. The undertaker was especially respectful and supportive proving information and guidance. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the whole team. We had over 120 mourners at the funeral, and every single one commented on what a fitting and lovely service it was.

I first used Go As You Please in January 2019 when we lost our son. I chose them because there wasn't a lot of money at the time. In July 2019 I lost my father and chose Go As You Please, because we had excellent service for our son and was so happy. I asked if my mother wanted me to contact you again as we could not fault any of the service we recieved from you. Then very sadly, we lost our mum in March 2024 and I never gave another funeral director a thought. I rang Go As You Please with a fabulous service from the whole team. I would never think twice, I will always use Go As You Please. Thank You.

Having never had to organise a funeral before, I would recommend Go As You Please to my friends, family and others needing to organise a funeral. Everything was explained to us and we were kept in touch with everything that was going on. It gave me great comfort knowing my mam was in safe hands. Thank You.

I have had lots of 'compliments' on how good the funeral was. David was very helpful when he came to the house, making a difficult time a little easier. The celebrant, Colin was extremely thorough finding out about David and his life. The eulogy was exceptional. All of the staff have been so helpful at this difficult time. This was the second funeral I have organised with you and the pre-paid option making things so easy.

We had a wonderful service, very professional and the cars were very clean and well looked after. Staff were professional and very friendly, I would recommend Go As You Please to all my friends and family.

I could not have wished for my wife's funeral to have been delt with any better. Thank you

Prompt appointment with a courteous manner explaining what would be involved. When the minister finalised the date it was given in good time. The day went without a hitch and we were looked after, it made the day more bearable.

All was as it should be, professional in all aspects. Totally satisfactory.

So professional and more, can't thank David and Malissa enough (and the other members of staff). Took the proverbial weight off my shoulders, in such a difficult time.

Everyone was friendly and professional. The team provided a great service.

My mum had a funeral plan in place, having chosen her own coffin, type of service including choice of music to be played, and all the little details. When she passed away quietly she was taken from the carehome to the Go As You Please chapel of rest, with no fuss or worry for us. My mum had a cousin who was a lay-preacher and as was her wish, he took the service. We asked for a single bunch of lilies on the coffin, and were suitably surprised by the magnificent floral display on the day, lilies as requested, but so much more than just a bunch! The hearse and the family car arrived on time, gleaming in the watery winter sunshine, and we arrived at the crematorium on time. Everything went very smoothly, thanks to the funeral plan, and the care of Go As You Please.

Everyone at Go As You Please were very professional, but also very friendly and caring. They made the funeral day go according to plan, and they made what was a very upsetting and hard day a lot easier. Everyone was so nice and caring we can't thank you all enough.

I would absolutely recommend Go As You Please as a funeral directors. My Mam's funeral ran smoothly and was what she wanted - the flowers were lovely. David was great - he has a lovely nature while remaining professional. I'll plan my own funeral with you guys, if I ever get around to it!

I must say from mam going into your care the communication was first class. Helping and guiding us with the service and music etc. All family and friends were well impressed with the venue and the friendlyness of the staff - can't thank you all enough. Then not forgetting us after the day, calling us to see how we are is a wonderful and thoughtful gesture. So once again I'd like to thank you.

Melissa was brilliant from start to finish, she made us feel at ease, super organised & with a personal touch.

My son & myself were very happy with the care, kindness and compassion by the Go As You Please Team. Many of the family and friends who attended my husbands funeral remarked that the service was very meaningful and heartfelt. Sam from Seven Penny Meadow did a wonderful job, her team were so helpful on the day and Emma (our celebrant) did a remarkable job.

It is lovely to be able to say thank-you to you allfor the kindness and help shown to me at my lowest ebb. Everything was done with the greatest respect, I could not have asked for anything more.

Every aspect of this heartbreaking episode in my life was made bearable by your professionalism. Hoping it is some considerable time before we meet again.

Thank you for your help in organising the funeral. Your service was excellent especially when it wasn’t clear whether you’d get paid in full. I will be recommending you to family and clients. Thank you again.

Very professional service. Celebrant listened and spoke of John as if he knew him in fact; one of my friends asked if he had in fact known John. If I had to find anything negative to say it would be that I would have liked cards to be placed on the flowers that the family had written messages on. When a family member passed away, we were given cards the day before the funeral which were attached to the flowers.

Very professional service and very clear about what was needed. Kept up to date every step of the way. David (Funeral Director) is a credit to his profession and most caring, making a stressful and awful time more bearable.

All I can say is how lovely everyone was; so caring from start to finish. Melissa has been my main contact and she is a credit. She is lovely; everyone has been, David (Funeral Director), who did my husband’s funeral was lovely, caring is what comes to mind when I am writing this out. Everything was perfect for both funerals down to small details on the Order of Service which was amazing. Colin is so nice; he words peoples lives as it should be, happy memories (lovely man).

I cannot recommend your service highly enough. Having just lost my lovely Mum, I couldn’t think straight and on initial contact with your company David (Funeral Director) took all my stress away. Every detail was attended too. From Gill in reception, Melissa on the phone and everyone I mentioned in my thankyou card I cannot thank you all enough. A very friendly, approachable and professional service carried out with compassion. Thank you so much, Mum would have loved her service too.

Thank you to the whole team by making Dad’s funeral the best it could be. David’s (Funeral Director) approach is fantastic, he reads his clients impeccably and with great compassion and humility. Thank you.

Was very satisfied with all aspects of funeral and would recommend to other people. Thank you all.

I would like to say a big thank you from start to finish the staff were great, helpful. Also, would like to say a big thank you to Colin (Celebrant) who conducted the funeral. Also, the receptionist at Go As You Please was brilliant with me and my family. Just like to say a big thank you and would highly recommend Go As You Please Funerals.

Everyone at Go As You Please was so polite and very helpful. I arranged my cousin’s funeral and all family and friends actually enjoyed everything about it. Thank you all so much for all your help.

From the moment I contacted the office with regards to the death of my Dad I was looked after extremely well. The lads who arrived to take my Dad to your facilities were kind and respectful which was very much appreciated at such an awful time. When Kate came to discuss arrangements for funeral, she gave me time to mull over my options, clear explanations and clear pricing for all I wanted. She also gave me the understanding and reassurance that if I changed my mind or wanted anything extra, I was just to call. Visiting my Dad was made easier by Gill who was on reception – the viewing room was tasteful and pleasant. All staff that I encountered were very helpful and respectful.

I would like to thank everyone involved in my Mams’ funeral. Everything went very well, Colin (Celebrant) was fantastic, he made the service. Many people commented on how great his service was. Thanks to the lady at Cramlington office who was there when I went to see my Mam in the chapel of Rest. Also, thanks to the lady who I dealt with on the phone arranging the funeral, it all went smoothly. Thanks again.

Very satisfied with your service especially Andy Jones made us feel at ease and the service was excellent, couldn’t wish for anything more. He also conducted my mother in laws funeral in March which was excellent as well.

The whole process was handled extremely professionally and the service itself couldn’t have been better under such sad circumstances. Many of those present commented that it was the nicest ceremony they had ever attended. I would like to say a special thanks to the Celebrant Colin Reid who handled the ceremony with great dignity, attention to detail and gentle good humour; one of my friends asked whether Colin was a family friend such was the warmth of his words. Please pass on my gratitude. All in all, I was delighted with our choice to ask you to help us to take my Dad on his final journey and I would like to follow him to Seven Penny Meadow with you when the time comes. Best Regards.

My Mam had a strong belief that the funeral services of other family members had attracted significant numbers of freeloading hypocrites so declined to have one of her own. I had no problem with her decision as I feel the same way and will not be having one either. Go As You Please made this service-less cremation process hassle free and respectful.

At a very difficult time you gave us the support we needed and helped us to give my Dad the send off he deserved. You supported our wishes and made all the options available to us clear. Thank you for making a very difficult day a little bit easier.

A brilliant professional service. Thank you.

A very sad day made bearable by the grace, care and compassion shown by your staff. At every point of Joseph’s journey, we were kept informed and up to date with proceedings in a very timely manner. Advice was given gently and compassionately with regards to seeing Joe; due to circumstances, we were unable to view him but family were still allowed to visit and say their private goodbyes which was greatly appreciated. The celebrant Colin was amazing, he really listened to the family and Joes’ essence came through in his words. He did an excellent job. Thank you from myself, my two sons Michael and Lewis and his family and friends for looking after him so well.

Go As You Please could not have been any better, Malissa at Cramlington and Barbara at Consett are very caring and understanding people. They helped me a lot and I can’t thank them enough. I could not go to the funeral but Malissa kept me informed what was happening. All round they were fantastic. Thank you.

The professionalism of all involved, from the collection of our beloved Mum from her home on the day of her passing, to the delivery of her humanist service, was as a family all Mum wished for (exceptional, compassionate and empathetic). First class service without question!

The team involved in the organisation of this Funeral have been amazing. We rang many times with queries and were never made to feel that we were causing them any problems. All the staff were kind, compassionate and approachable. Heather (Humanist) who led our service was so obliging, she said we could call her at any time. The eulogy she put together for our Uncle was absolutely perfect. It seemed as if she knew him. We only wish the funeral directors in our area (Buckinghamshire) were as good as you all. Can we give special thanks to Heather and Malissa.

I was very happy with service we received from Go As You Please. They listened to what we wanted, made suggestions but, there was no pressure from them. I felt that they were respectful and wanted to “get it right for us”. The Minister was excellent and the eulogy was just right and reflected the person my Mum was. I think she would have liked her send off. The white wicker coffin looked beautiful covered in spring flowers. Thank you for your attention to detail, for listening to us and the service you provided.

We contacted another Funeral Directors when making our decision who to choose and from the first telephone contact onwards the service was exceptional with ‘Go As You Please’. We felt very well looked after and closely accompanied through each step of the process. The way options and details were explained put us very much at ease in selecting exactly what our Mum would have wanted. Although the overall cost was cheaper than if we had chosen one of the more ‘high street’ names, there was absolutely no compromise in quality, service and experience. The actual funeral flew by in an instant and although very emotional, we remember it as being a perfect moment and couldn’t imagine anyway it could have been improved upon. We want to thank the whole team for their great care and service.

Wonderful company with fantastic staff who all made a very hard situation that tiny bit easier to bear. Kind, empathetic, helpful staff providing outstanding professional service at all times. I felt looked after as this company really cares about the service that it provides. Could not recommend Go As You Please highly enough. Thank you so very much.

First of all I would like to thank you all at Go As You Please for all you did for us. From contacting you, to the funeral itself we felt you were part of the family and nothing was too much trouble. The kindness and care you gave was outstanding...

Everyone from the staff in Wallsend to the staff in Cramlington were absolutely amazing from start to finish. I felt so supported and wouldn’t have got through this without them. The humanist Susan was amazing too. Thank you so much.

My requirements were unusual because of the personality of my sister. Go As You Please provided a beautiful pink coffin with a lovely picture of my sister on the lid and front. As requested, the Bearers dressed up as Alien Lords and there was a lovely procession to the chapel. David (Funeral Director) dressed as an Alien Lord with his top hat and it just made a lovely and unforgettable entry. David’s reading of the eulogy was excellent, not too serious and reflecting on the humour and personality that was my sister. The music I picked was played exactly as requested. Everything went smoothly and all my friends and family commented positively on it. Also, the price was competitive and everything was very professional.

A very professional and dedicated team assisted us in every aspect of the funeral. All staff were well mannered and knowledgeable with all our needs. Would definitely recommend your excellent service and compassionate staff to all our friends and families.
