Coffins

Choosing a coffin can often be the hardest part of the funeral arrangements because it’s a very visual part of the process.

We will make this as easy for you as we can, taking into account what you believe reflects the personality or wishes of the person whose funeral you are arranging and whether there are any strong ethical or green requirements to bear in mind. It might just be as simple as the one you like the look of the most or whether you have a specific budget in mind.

Flowers

A beautiful spray of flowers is very personal and adds a visual warmth to the coffin and service. Whether you are keeping flowers to just friends and family, and requesting charitable donations instead from everybody else, or hoping they form a part of your service, flowers can add a bright and welcoming touch and reflect the love felt by those attending. Flowers can be taken to the wake, taken home by the family or you can arrange for them to be donated to local nursing or care homes.

Things you may like to consider…

• Did your loved one have a favourite flower or colour, or something they disliked and should be avoided?

• Is there a general colour scheme that you’d like?

• Would you like to include seasonal flowers?

• Do you have a theme or design that reflects the personality of your loved one?

Headstones

A place for memories and reflection

Having somewhere to go, where you can remember your loved one, can be a be a huge comfort and a place to reflect and lay flowers. If you would like a headstone tablet or plaque, be it for a grave or garden of remembrance, we help you with a masonry service for new pieces, additional inscriptions or renovations to existing memorials. Thinking of the right words for a loved one can be a really lovely part of the process.

The most popular selected materials for memorials are granite, marble and stone. Granite is the most durable and comes in many colours and marble has a lovely smooth finish.

Online services

Share memories and collect donations

As part of our free service, we can help you in setting up an online tribute page that displays funeral arrangement information and collects in-memory donations.

This special memorial website in tribute to your loved one, is a place where you can share memories and stories with family and friends, light candles, add music and photos, as well as leave messages.

You keep complete control over access and display of your tribute. You can change anything or close the page at any time, if you wish.
