Payment

Payment will need to be made either by bank transfer or cash upon instructing Oxford Undertakers Ltd. We will not book the crematorium until payment has been made and we do not accept any other methods of payment.
 
We always encourage people to spend within their means and we never, ever recommend people get into debt over a funeral bill. If money is an issue, please talk to us. We will give advice wherever we can.
 
Should you need to apply for funeral finance, we do work with Funeral Safe Finance. Like us, they are a responsible lender and will make a number of checks before arranging funding. They will pay our agreed invoice by bank transfer.

Instructing Oxford Undertakers Ltd

  • A client instructs Oxford Undertakers Ltd as their funeral director automatically if we are required to collect a person from their own home, care home or hospice. No formal instructions by email are necessary and our full invoice is payable no later than 48 hours after we have collected a person.
  • If a person has died in an Oxford hospital, we will require an email from our client instructing Oxford Undertakers Ltd to be their funeral director before we collect them and bring them into our care
  • The person instructing Oxford Undertakers Ltd will also be the person responsible for paying our invoice within our terms

These terms and conditions are subject to change and we will advise you as quickly as possible should this be the case.
