Personal Effects
We recommend that any personal effects are removed from a person prior to them being transferred into our care as we are unable to take responsibility for them once the person is in our care.
If you would like any personal effects to remain and go with the person for cremation, then we ask you to confirm that in writing to info@simplegoodbyes.co.uk
We ask you:
- Ensure full payment is made and the Cremation 1 form is signed and returned to signify the commencement of our instruction.
- Arrange to register the death, and ask the registrar to email the green from to us at info@simplegoodbyes.co.uk, or for you to email a scan to us if you are given a hard copy.
Termination of agreement
We reserve the right to terminate our services if you fail to honour your obligations under these terms.
You may cancel your agreement with us before the cremation takes place, however we reserve the right to charge a reasonable sum for services already rendered, including for our time spent in administration and any third-party charges incurred.
We are under no obligation to accept your termination until we receive your instruction in writing.
Once the cremation has been carried out we are unable to terminate the agreement.
