Easing the burden of bereavement Organising a funeral for a loved one is always a diffi cult experience - but it can be eased considerably by a caring and professional service such as that off ered by William Hall Independent Funeral Directors. While many long-standing family businesses have been acquired by larger organisations, William Hall has remained resolutely independent, which means it remains small enough to off er exceptional personal service, with more competitive pricing than the big multi-nationals. As a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors 126 www.visitilife.com (SAIF), it abides by the highest professional standards and codes of conduct. Founded 25 years ago, the business recently re-located to larger premises, off ering two beautifully furnished arranging rooms and two peaceful chapels of rest. Th e pleasant grounds include a coach house for the company’s two striking Victorian horse-drawn hearses. With two qualifi ed funeral directors and four trained members of staff , the company is able to cover the whole of the Island with a dedicated 24 hour service, 365 days a year. Th e range of funeral options include environmentally friendly burials at nearby Springwood Woodland Cemetery. Proprietor and senior funeral director William Hall said: “We pride ourselves on our professionalism and attention to detail, and will always endeavour to deliver our clients’ every wish, be it large or small”.
