The Funeral
Arranging a funeral can be especially difficult, when a family member or loved one dies. We are here to help, assist and advise you to provide a unique tribute to their life.
We are able to give advice on all aspects of music for the funeral service and make the necessary arrangements.
During their life many people say that they have a song that they want played at their funeral and the choice of music played at a funeral can add a personal touch to the service.
It is becoming more and more popular for recorded music to be played at a funeral instead of, or in addition to, more traditional hymns and organ music.
Also live music and instrumental soloists may be requested, such as a piper or brass band.
Please be advised that if your funeral service is being held in a church, some ministers may only allow traditional music and hymns. Most crematoria have large collections of all types of music and most will allow you to provide your own music on CD.
It is best to let us know your choice of music
Arranging a funeral can be especially difficult, when a family member or loved one dies. We are here to help, assist and advise you to provide a unique tribute to their life.
The funeral service is a way of saying goodbye to someone who has died. We are here to take you through the decisions you need to make to ensure you can arrange the funeral you want for your loved one.
We offer a variety of coffins and urns, choose from the traditional wooden coffins to more unusual wicker or cardboard coffins.
A friend or relative may wish to say a few words during a service about the person who has died. This is called a eulogy.
Should you wish we will be able to assist you with the compilation and insertion of death announcements and acknowledgements in your local and/or national newspapers.
We have access to a fleet of vehicles to meet your needs. There is a range of funeral transport options available.
Some people find it comforting to see the person who has died and likes to bring a small gift or photograph to put in the coffin. Others find it upsetting to see someone they loved who is now dead.
Should you wish, this can be friends or relatives of the deceased, or we, of course, will be able to provide bearers to carry your loved one’s coffin.
We can help you with the ordering of funeral flowers and can also record or collect the card messages for you.
You may wish to produce booklets or leaflets detailing the order of service. We can print personalised orders of service on your behalf and can advise on layout and design.
