This may be due to items being out of stock, unable to meet specified deadlines, unavailability of Suppliers or for any such reason as is necessary. We will endeavor to ensure that all Services promoted on the Website are accurately described and correctly priced. It is however possible that some items may be incorrectly priced or displayed and in such an event we reserve the right to increase or decrease the price as necessary, or provide the most suitable alternatives

In such events, we act as the declared agent to make necessary bookings and arrangements with third parties on Your behalf (such as the Crematoria, Burial Ground, Cemetery, Mortuary, Celebrants etc).

Due to the current coronavirus pandemic, provision of some of these third parties is restricted, such as a restriction of 10 people being able to enter a Crematoria chapel or a Celebrant conducting funeral planning remotely rather than in person. In such events, we will advise you in advance of any restrictions in place before any bookings are made with third parties.

Rights to Make Changes, Cancel or Request A Refund

Fees

In Memory Of Life will present a full written estimate of all Fees to you after receipt of your Order. This will be followed by a Final Invoice once all bookings and third-party charges have been confirmed.

All dates, times and Fees displayed on the Website and in your Order cannot be guaranteed until we have made and confirmed all bookings, many of which will be dependent on third party availability.

The estimate of Fees provided on the Order is an indication of the likely charge only based upon the information we have at the time. We will always endeavour to ensure the estimate on your Order is as accurate as possible, however in some events, such as where a third party changes their rates or charges, we may need to adjust the Fees in our Final Invoice.

It is especially important to consider where there may be many variable costs from a third party which are not able to be displayed on the Website. For example, a Cemetery will have variable costs for the time of day, non-residents, type of grave, size of the coffin, location of the grave, permits and other items. In such events we will provide you with as accurate an estimate as possible in your order, however, can only confirm your final fees in your final invoice.

Payment Terms

All Fees designated within the Final Invoice are to be paid in full before the funeral will commence (24 hours before date of funeral).

If you have made or intend to make an application for a Department for Work and Pensions Funeral Payment, or any other financial assistance application, please note that you still remain responsible for the payment of all Fees to us within these payment terms.

Payments shall be made to the Company via bank transfer using the details provided within the Final Invoice. If you are not able to make payment within these terms, please contact us to discuss any changes to these terms for your individual circumstance.

In the event of any unpaid accounts, we reserve the right to pass on to the Client the cost of any third-party charges for collection of the Fees. These costs will be incurred from when In Memory Of Life instruct any third parties to proceed with collection of the payment.
