Compassionate, independent funeral care for families in Ripon and the surrounding North Yorkshire communities. Available 24 hours a day to offer guidance, support and assistance whenever you need it most.
We understand that arranging a funeral can feel overwhelming, especially during an emotional and unexpected time. Our funeral packages provide a clear starting point, helping families understand what is included while still allowing flexibility to personalise the service.
At Rushton Family Funerals, every funeral is arranged with care and attention. The packages below outline our professional services, with third-party costs such as crematorium or burial fees added separately.
At Rushton Family Funerals, we believe arranging a funeral should be clear, personal, and never overwhelming. As an independent, family-run funeral director serving Ripon and the surrounding villages, we offer straightforward funeral packages that provide guidance while allowing the flexibility to create a meaningful farewell.
We understand many families come to us during a difficult and unexpected time. Our role is to listen, understand what matters most to you, and help you choose the option that best reflects your loved one’s wishes.
Our packages offer a clear starting point, and every funeral can be adapted to suit your family’s individual needs.
While our packages provide a helpful starting point, every funeral we arrange can be adapted to suit your family’s wishes.
Some families prefer a simple farewell, while others wish to include additional elements such as personalised coffins, floral tributes, music, or additional vehicles. We take the time to listen and help you create a service that reflects the life of your loved one.
If you would prefer a completely bespoke funeral, we are always happy to discuss your wishes and provide a personalised quotation.
When arranging a funeral, the total cost is usually made up of two parts: the funeral director’s professional fees and third-party costs.
Third-party fees are payments made to other organisations involved in the funeral, such as crematoria, burial grounds, florists, or celebrants.
At Rushton Family Funerals, we believe in being open and transparent about these costs so families understand exactly what is included and what additional fees may apply.
Charges set by the crematorium or burial ground for the service or burial.
Payment for the person leading the funeral service, whether religious or non-religious.
Flowers or arrangements chosen by families for the funeral service or graveside.
Printed booklets containing the funeral service details, readings, hymns, and personal tributes.
Optional notices are placed in newspapers or online to inform the community and share service details.
We're here any time, day or night.
Care and attention from our experienced team.
A quality coffin included in every package.
Personal tributes arranged with care and compassion.
We handle all paperwork and legal requirements.
Arranged at the venue of your choice.
Our packages include the essential professional services needed to arrange and conduct a funeral. This typically includes bringing your loved one into our care, funeral arrangements, a coffin, and the hearse on the day of the funeral.
Our packages provide a clear starting point, but every funeral can be adapted. Additional vehicles, flowers, personalised coffins, music, or other elements can be added to suit your wishes.
No, crematorium and burial fees are classed as third-party costs and are added separately. These are payments made directly to external organisations involved in the funeral.
Yes. We believe in clear and transparent pricing, and we can discuss funeral finance options to help spread the cost if needed.
Most funerals take place around two to three weeks after someone has passed away, allowing time for paperwork and arrangements to be completed.
You can contact us at any time, day or night. We will guide you through the next steps and arrange to bring your loved one into our care as soon as possible.
Yes. Families are welcome to spend time with their loved one in our chapel of rest if they wish.
