Traditional and Green Burials
At A L & G Abbott Funeral Directors, we endeavour to provide a compassionate service, planning and arranging the burial with your needs and preferences in mind. We can arrange a traditional burial in a churchyard or a cemetery with your choice of coffin. Green burials are a great alternative to a traditional funeral, where the burial takes place in a meadow or woodland. If you need more information on green burials, please contact us today. We are also able to offer a repatriation service to and from any country.
Cremation
All necessary arrangements will be made on your behalf with the local crematorium. We are familiar with certain cultural procedures that need to be observed in relation to the cremation of a loved one and we are happy to discuss any requirements you may have.
Burial
This could take place in a traditional churchyard or a cemetery. Alternatively, green burials are becoming a popular funeral option. These offer a natural alternative to a traditional funeral where the burial takes place in a meadow or woodland. The nearest green burial site is St Albans Woodland Burial Ground in Keysoe.
Civil / Humanist
A civil funeral takes full account of the wishes, beliefs and values of the deceased and their family. The ceremony is conducted by a Civil Celebrant and it can contain a little or no religious content and can include hymns and/or prayers if desired. For people who have neither accepted religious views of life or death nor lived according to religious principles a Humanist funeral may be more appropriate. We work with the British Humanist Association to provide a funeral which uniquely celebrates the life of the person who has died.
Religious Funerals
We have experience with all religious denominations and faiths. We will ensure that the funeral arrangements and services you require meet all of your cultural and religious needs.

What our families say
I am so truly grateful for the amazing job you all did in giving my sister Karen the send off she deserved, and also the help for my nephews. I would recommend you to everyone.
Thank you so much for all that you and the guys did for our family and the way you treated R with dignity, respect and thoughtfulness. It was an emotional day but made easy with your help and kindness. R would have been proud.
We would like to thank you all so much for making our mother’s funeral such an easy and enjoyable experience. You are all so professional and compassionate.
I would like to say a big thankyou to you all for caring for my husband at his passing. You did him proud.
On behalf of the family of B.P I would like to thank you for your kind care and attention to detail to ensure everything went smoothly during our difficult time. We were very appreciative of your services. Our heartfelt thank you goes to all of you.
I would just like to say a huge thank you for the care and compassion shown to my family and I on the loss of my mum. It was such a difficult time for me, with the added distance of journeying back and forth to my home, but I felt you were there for me at each stage and nothing was too much trouble. I was so grateful to be able to spend precious time in the Chapel of Rest where I could tell mum was truly cared for. Special thanks to Chris for his support and attention from beginning to end.
I lost my mum in 2018 and a year later I was still lost, grieving, angry & hurt. My Aunty saw your advert offering this amazing add on service. To be honest I was sceptical I thought you would only offer it to the recently bereaved but I knew I needed someone to talk to so I thought what the heck, what's the worst they'll say? No sorry it's only for existing clients?? So I emailed and my god I'm so glad I did. Chere is... "wow" my heart smiles when I think of her. What an exceptional lady and an absolute asset to your team.
Now I can smile and laugh when I think of my mum instead of trying to block out her memory because it's too sad to think of her. My "new normal".
