You can choose an unattended cremation for yourself or a loved one and still deal with the local family business with a proven reputation for excellence, and people you trust.
Taking the Time to Talk About Funerals
If you have the opportunity to talk about what you and your loved ones wish from a funeral before you are experiencing the pain and stress of grief and loss, it can make a real difference.
Music Connects and Speaks for Us
Music plays such a soothing, healing, spiritual and energising role in our lives from our earliest days that it makes perfect sense it is also an essential part of our funerals.
Love, Loss & Grief

Memories Book is the Gift of a Lifetime
Too often, long-time funeral director Don Burstows has witnessed families "saying goodbye and wishing they knew more".
A word about funeral costs
Funeral Directors are like any other professional or businessperson…those who charge the least intend to do the least, they can’t afford to do otherwise.
The Journey to Healing
A meaningful funeral experience is vital to the present and long-term mental and emotional health of those grieving. It helps us move from life before a death to life after a death.
What are we doing to Keep You and Our Employees Safe?
Faced with current Coronavirus pandemic concerns, in what is already a very difficult time, the team at Burstows are here to assist you every step of the way.
Contact Us
In the event of a death in the family, contact Burstows without delay. A funeral director is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and will provide help and guidance from the first contact.
