Local Funeral Director gets behind charity ball

Price and Son Funeral Directors were proud to join the great and good of Grantham at Belton Park Golf Club this week to raise money for Macmillan and children with cancer.

Jason Price Funeral director and business owner supported by donating a prize in the auction and also led the auction on the evening raising £5000 for the charities.

Jason said “I was so humbled to be asked to lead the auction on the evening, and we were proud to be a part of such a fantastic event raising so much money, there are some very generous people here in Grantham and as a local family business we will always do what we can to support”.

The fundraiser is expected to become an annual event with support for more deserving charities.

Price & Son Funeral Directors managing director Jason Price handed over a cheque for £300 to Rob Dixon for the G2E, sponsoring two shirts in the Grantham to Edinburgh cycle ride in aid of local charities.

The ride starts on July 19th, so best of luck to all the riders and support teams in their epic ride. This is the second ride of its kind, the first raising more than £10,000 for good causes.

A funeral to reflect on your loved one’s life

In a time of loss, we have so much to face; not just our emotions but the practicalities of having to plan for our loved one’s funeral and other legalities.

Preparing for a funeral can be difficult and confusing and this is when we need expert advice and support. Price & Son Family Independent Funeral Directors can provide everything you need and are available 24 hours every day.

Price & Son Family Independent Funeral Directors has been open since December 2018. Jason Price is a highly experienced funeral director who is passionate about giving the highest possible standards and service. He believes in giving a caring, compassionate and respectful service to ensure that all your needs and your loved one’s needs are met. Jason has a military background as well as 15 years working his way up in the funeral business and has worked for the Co-op and Dignity. He has experience of every role within the funeral services from casual bearer to working in the Coroner’s office.

He has incorporated everything good he has learnt into his own funeral directors. Price & Son Funeral Directors is based on Castlegate, Grantham; originally the Queen Victoria Institute for Nurses which was established in Grantham in 1901 and two years later the building was opened, as a memory to the Queen, thanks largely to a fund launched by then Mayor Trynor Lynn. The Tudor-style Queen Victoria Nurses’ Home has been sympathetically restored whereby many of its original features are still in situ. 

Queen Victoria Institute for Nurses

The premises have a family room, kitchen facilities, a chapel, arrangement room and offices with the potential to expand. Although the building is 118 years old, it is disability accessible and provides parking at the back of the premises.

Price & Son Funeral Directors is also equipped to care for your loved one on the premises and you can visit your loved one anytime that you wish. Jason has an open-door policy and welcomes anyone who would like a tour and information to call in. Jason stated that “We only have one chance to get it right” and this is what he bases his standards on. He said, “Price & Son can provide a funeral that best reflects someone’s life”.

Jason believes that costs of funerals should be transparent and that Price & Son Family Funeral Director’s website details services provided, costs that are affordable, and support provided including registering your loved one’s passing. The website has been designed so that it is easy to navigate and is understandable. As you can see, the company logo is a hand holding an apple with an acknowledgement to Isaac Newton and also to the care and support given by the business.

Forget-Me-Nots Support Group

Price & Son Funeral Directors run a Forget-Me-Nots friendship group for people who have been bereaved which takes place every Friday from 10 am to 1 pm and is hosted by Jason’s mother. It is a peer led group whereby experiences can be shared, and group members can support one another through the stages of grief. Refreshments are provided, and the group is free and open to everyone. A small donation is collected at the end of each group with the proceeds going to St Barnabas and Cystic Fibrosis. You do not have to book to attend.

Jason will also be running groups to dispel the myths and worries associated with funerals. He has run this group with the British Legion regarding funeral planning which is tailor-made for local people. Everyone is welcome to attend. Details of these groups are on the website.

A NEW funeral director has opened in Castlegate

Jason Price, a former Royal Navy gunner, who has worked for several funeral directors including the Co-op and Dignity, has painstakingly restored the Tudor-style Queen Victoria Nurses Home, between East Street and George Street.

He was inspired to enter the profession, following the death of his young nephew and realised how important getting everything right can be.

He said: “I have learned from several businesses in the industry and have taken the best from each.”

The Queen Victoria Institute for Nurses was established in Grantham in 1901 and two years later the building was opened as a memory to the Queen; thanks largely to a fund launched by then Mayor Trynor Lynn.

Facilities included four bedrooms, a bathroom with wc plus more sleeping accommodation on the second floor.

The building cost £836 on top of the £42 paid for the land.

Forget-Me-Nots friendship group

At Price and Son we are proud to support the local community and to support members of the community who are dealing with bereavement we are launching the Forget-Me-Nots friendship group.

Meeting in an informal way in our beautiful premises Forget-Me-Nots is designed to bring together the recently bereaved and those that need a little extra support.

We meet every Friday from 10am to 1pm and enjoy nothing more than the friendship of others and the support provided by the group. Many of our regular visitors take great comfort in the shared experience of others within the group.

All are welcome and no booking is required.
