Excellent Services

Floral Tributes

You may have a specific type of flower or colour in mind, or wish to have a bespoke design, coffin spray, hand-tied bouquet or wreath. We can assist you with your choice and place your order with specialist florists.

Music

We are able to offer advice on all aspects of music. In addition to traditional hymns it is often possible to have recorded music played at the service. You may choose to have an instrumental accompaniment, or choir or perhaps a piper.

Service Sheets In-House Printing

We will be happy to discuss your individual requirements. As an added personal touch, you may choose to include a photo of your loved one or an image of something of significance to them. As well as providing a keepsake, you are able to send a service sheet to those who are unable to attend the funeral.

Catering

Arrangements can be made with local caterers, hotels, restaurants or venues dependent upon your personal requirements.

In Memoriam Charitable Donations

We will collect and administer donations for the charity of your choice. Website tribute and donation pages can be set up.

Books of Remembrance

These are available in addition to Attendance Cards which are signed at the funeral service. Memorial Books can be made available for mourners to write their own personal messages.

Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

A Pre-paid Funeral Plan not only gives you the opportunity to arrange your funeral in accordance with your own wishes but also offers peace of mind to your family when decisions at the time of a death can sometimes be both emotionally and financially difficult.

Interment of Cremated Remains (the Ashes)

We can offer guidance and arrange their final resting place.

Monumental Masons

Advice can be given on all forms of memorials and tablets to suit your requirements. See below for further information.

Repatriations

Both nationally and internationally, repatriations can be arranged using our trained staff and discreet vehicles.

Memorials

Masonry, vases, plaques and inscriptions

 

Choices include memorial masonry in the form of a headstone at a graveside, a plaque, a park bench, a tree or another item dedicated to the life of a loved one.

 

With regards to masonry, you have a wide choice of materials, shapes, vases, plaques and inscriptions - from the traditional to the deceased's favourite saying or phrase.

You may also add photographs or images into the permanent memorial where local restrictions do not apply and we will help you through this entire process.

Help with permissions from the local council

We will work with you after the funeral service where necessary permissions are needed etc. to erect your chosen memorial.

You have several options for the cremated remains of your loved one, including scattering in a favourite location, burial in a local churchyard, cemetery or woodland etc. or you can have a scattering or burial in your own home or simply keep the remains at home.

We have a selection of beautiful traditional and contemporary urns and cremation memorials and we will help you through this choice and decision-making process with great care and sympathy.
