About Us
"Caring for Your Family as Our Own"
Kevin Moxon Independent Funeral Directors is an independent funeral director operated by husband and wife team Kevin and Jayne. Based on the Ramshill Road in South Cliff area we work hard to service the local people using our years of knowledge and experience. Kevin has nearly 20 years professional experience directing funerals and being a funeral manager. We are proud of our independent business model and as a result local families satisfaction is our focus, over shareholders and corporate interests. We are passionate about providing local families the best possible service and being upfront about all the costs involved. We believe trust is needed more than ever in your time of need and sadness and therefore we are always friendly, open and honest at all times. We pride ourselves on the flexibility we are able to offer as an independent business, ensuring your loved one gets the send off they deserve.
Our business ethos revolves around our promise to our clients. We promise to give you the EARTH without charging you for it.
We promise to be:
Ethical
Affordable
Reliable
Transparent
Honest
This moral code is the foundation our business is built on and we have worked hard to develop a local reputation for exceptional customer service and transparency in an industry full of confusion and surprise charges.
The Team here at Kevin Moxon Funerals are highly trained , experienced, friendly and prepared to go the extra mile for you during your time of bereavement. If you would like any more information about the services we offer then our reliable team will be more than willing to chat to you about what we can do for you.
Kevin says "I feel there is a lot of confusion around the actual cost of a funeral
I wanted to offer clearer and transparent 'all inclusive' packages with a set price"
This includes :
Funeral Directors Services, a suitable coffin,
Hearse and Staff for the Funeral.
Our prices include ALL necessary disbursements (Cremation fees & Doctors Certificate)
That way the client knows exactly what the overall costs are at the outset and are not shocked when suddenly extra fees are added for Cremation or Doctors fees. This gives clearer transparency to clients when making the decision which Funeral Directors services they choose to use.
As an 'Independent' family business we offer greater flexibility of choices without the constraints of Corporate Management edicts, or being beholden to share holders. We were delighted recently, folowing due inspection and compliance visit to be accepted into membership of SAIF (Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors). This further demonstrates our ability to meet high standards of care and professional operating methods as accredited by an Independent assesor. We feel proud to serve our community and through SAIF we can now offer our families a free bereavement counselling service (SAIF Care) should they wish to utilise this.
All our packages offer set prices and are inclusive though we still offer flexibility within them to meet your needs. Tell us your requirements so we can help.
Planning Ahead -
Given ever increasing funeral costs it makes sense to plan ahead and many people are now realising the benefit of having a pre paid funeral plan. Not only does this offer peace of mind to you and family on a financial level but for those left dealing with a bereavement you can leave your personal instructions on the type of funeral you want. This can include Religious services, Hymns, Music etc and takes pressure and worry off your loved ones at the time of bereavement.
We offer Pre Paid Funeral Plans through 'Golden Charter' and will be happy to explain them to you further, either in our office, or at your home. If you have an existing pre paid plan it may be you want to nominate us as your preferred Funeral Directors for future. if you require any help please contact us. Our plans can be paid by instalments and are one of the most competitively priced plans on the market. Most people ask "where does the money go to?" All monies for funeral plans are normally held by a trust fund managed by companies separate to the Funeral Director and guarantee to pay the costs of your funeral to the chosen Funeral Director when the need arises.
Kevin, and Jayne, are both brass musicians and are often called upon to play Last Post for Military funerals or civic events. Both of us play in a local Brass Band, Simply Brass in Scarborough and Kevin plays Soprano Cornet for East Yorkshire Motor Services (EYMS) Band. Kevin and Jayne are also a members of St. Mary's Church Choir, Scarborough.
If you require help on music suitable for a service then we are ideally experienced to be able to offer good advice on this matter also.

Talk about funeral wishes with family so they may know what you want.
Slow down don't feel rushed into funeral arrangements that's when sometimes bad decisions are made.
Shop around - Costs can vary hugely so check pricings.
Ask about 'Simple Funeral' options.
Can you get financial help with funeral costs? Check with DWP or Citizen advice bureau.
Cremation or Burial as a preference? Burial is usually more expensive.
What makes a 'Good Send Off'? At a funeral, people remember thought and goodwill rather than lavish expense.

Kevin organised and took the service for my father. He was there for all my family's needs during the most difficult of times. Approachable, caring and the consummate professional. Kevin went the extra mile for my father's service and arranged for some of my dad's brass band music to be recorded and played at the service. Kevin delivered the funeral my dad would have wanted. My family is very grateful and appreciates all Kevin and his wife have done to help us cope. He treated us all like family I highly recommend his services!

During this very upsetting time, Kevin was just the person you needed to deal with. He was kind, caring and very supportive. This was especially noted as the family had experienced completely the opposite when initially looking for a funeral director. His focus was on the feelings of the family and aiming to make the entire process stress free whilst organising a lovely funeral for us. I feel that I was dealing with a friend throughout the entire process. Thank You Kevin.
Funeral Plans
If you or any family member want any information about funeral plans then feel free to call in and see us to discuss or ask information about the benefits and advantages of having a plan. Not only do you save, by paying the funeral cost at todays prices, it means your family or executors can be confident you get the funeral you desired be it Cremation or Burial and as simple or elaborate as you want.
We recommend and endorse 'Golden Charter' funeral plans which are probably one of the most cost effective plans available. .If you require a home visit to discuss plans we are happy to oblige with that too. Pick up a FREE PEN when making an enquiry either in person, or by post.
Some people may have a plan, for example with another provider, such as 'Golden Leaves', or another plan provider, taken out with another funeral Company but you are able to amend and nominate WHO YOU WANT to take care of your funeral Service when the time comes. If you want advice on this matter speak to us first for suitable advice.
