Frequently asked questions in Manningtree
A woodland burial, or green burial, is an increasingly popular alternative to a traditional funeral ceremony. There are a number of woodland, meadow, and green burial sites across Essex and Suffolk, all of which we have contact with and can arrange a funeral ceremony. Most of them also have a chapel or venue where a service or ceremony can take place prior to the burial. Please, talk to a funeral arranger to find out more, or look at our website where there is more information. The Hunnaball Family Funeral Group are happy to work with any minister of religion or funeral celebrant you choose. We also have a list of funeral celebrants and ministers of religion of all kinds who we know are very good. We will not recommend a person to officiate at a funeral ceremony if we have not observed them in action or are not completely confident of their high standards. Geo. Paskell and sons are a part of the Hunnaball Family Funeral Group and have been there since the very beginning when, in 1983, Trevor and Melanie Hunnaball purchased the business. In many ways, Geo. Paskell of Manningtree has helped set the very high standards of service, compassion and professionalism that are at the very heart of the entire Hunnaball Family Funeral Group.
Testimonials
“I would like to reiterate my gratitude for the organisation, professionalism and empathy shown by your team at my dad’s funeral yesterday. I am sure others will say that these are stock in trade requirements for a funeral director, but we should not take things for granted, and I do not. We were delighted at how well the travel and service went. The way the team helped, from the beginning, talking us through options etc., through to the service, has been a real boon to me personally. Many thanks and very best wishes.”
“Oh, it was perfect. Everything was just as we wanted it. We could not have wished for anything better. The team were fantastic on the day and our arranger was a rock throughout this journey. We were so happy and pleased with everything. It was perfect. I would highly recommend you to anyone.”
“To all of the Paskell’s team, thank you for guiding me through the loss of my mum with sensitivity and care. We couldn’t have been better looked after. I felt very safe with all of you, and you didn’t let me down.”
