Kind and personal service. Same day first appointment. An awful, awful thing couldn’t have been made any easier. I can’t recommend enough.
In addition, we believe our independent status illustrates our unwavering dedication to serve our clients in their time of need. Bereavement is a difficult and upsetting process.
Here at Albert E. Hicks, we are understanding of the circumstances. Therefore, we are more than happy to visit you in the comfort of your own home to discuss the funeral arrangements. Our experienced funeral directors will listen to your needs while respectfully guiding you through the process.
We would like to apologise to all our families at this very difficult time, but due to the current situation with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), which is now being treated as a pandemic, it is with deep regret that we need to amend our working practices for the time being.
We at Albert E Hicks have never, in over ‘90’ years of serving the community, found ourselves in an unprecedented time such as this.
In order to protect our staff and visitors to the premises, we would respectfully ask that you do not call in person at the office, unless you have phoned first on 01633 259225.
All staff are taking the required precautions seriously and we ask should you need to visit us at the funeral home, that you follow all of us in ensuring that all hygiene measures are adhered to.
Gwent Crematorium are allowed a maximum of 20 people. Gwent Cemeteries are allowed a maximum of 30 people. Langstone Vale Crematorium have increased their chapel capacity to 24 people and an additional 10 people outside.
This is an ever changing situation and we can ensure all of our families, that we will do our utmost to minimise the disruption caused to maintain the service you expect. Our priority is to continue as always, in carrying out our high standards of service, care and compassion to families and to your loved one in their passing.
Please stay safe and well at this uncertain time, look out for family, friends and neighbours and ensure you act responsibly to help the NHS manage these overwhelming times.
If you have any queries, whatsoever, please do not hesitate to call us.
From David, Ivy and the team.
