We’ll accommodate your wishes where possible, but will always defer to the professional opinions of our team. For a variety of reasons, it may not be practical or recommended for you to view or participate.
​
This may happen when the deceased has been in our care for an extended period of time, they were involved in a traumatic incident, had certain illnesses, or were deceased for an extended period before entering our care.
Our mortuary team welcomes your enquiries.
