order of service

Order of Service

Order of Service booklets were traditionally used in funerals at church but are now increasingly used at most funerals.

They enable mourners to follow the service and also provide a memento to keep afterwards.

We have our own in-house designer and printer who can produce service sheets, including photographs and images.

We can also have photographs enlarged to be placed on the coffin during the service.

funeral music

Music

Music is often so closely entwined with our memories and can play an important role in every funeral, from hymns sung in church to music played at a crematorium, and never more so than an especially poignant song which meant so much to the person whose life you are celebrating.

We can ensure any music chosen is provided, and also have links to soloists, musicians and pipers for live performances.

Fingerprints

Utilising the most up to date technology, our funeral homes are equipped to digitally capture and securely store fingerprints without any time constraints. This advanced capability opens up a world of meaningful possibilities, from crafting bespoke keepsakes and personalized tattoos to creating unique jewellery pieces. Preserving the essence of an individual’s identity, these fingerprints serve as timeless reminders and heartfelt tributes, extending far beyond simply identification.

Personalised Memorial Candles

Our personalised memorial candles offer a tender way to illuminate the memories of those we hold dear. With customizable designs and heartfelt messages, these candles become more than just a source of light—they become a comforting symbol, casting a warm glow on the cherished moments shared with our loved ones and serving as a beacon of remembrance during times of reflection.

urns

Options After a Funeral

We are memorial masons and can carry out all memorial masonry work, including new headstones and additional inscriptions to existing stones.

We can provide brochures to assist in choosing a headstone or can meet you in the churchyard / cemetery to look at pre-existing stones.

Planting a memorial tree is a poignant and sustainable way to honour the memory of a loved one. As the tree grows and flourishes, it becomes a living tribute, symbolizing the enduring legacy and cherished moments shared with the departed. Each leaf and branch becomes a reminder of the beautiful connection that continues to thrive, fostering solace and remembrance.

We collect ashes if you have chosen not to have them scattered on the Gardens of Remembrance at the crematorium and store them securely until you have decided on their final resting place.

You can choose from having them interred, scattering them or keeping them at home. Additionally, if they are to be taken overseas, we can advise about suitable containers and provide necessary paperwork.

Ashes can be interred in graves or ashes plots at churchyards, cemeteries or crematoriums.

The ashes are usually interred in a casket and we have many different types to chose from, ranging from oak caskets to personalised cardboard caskets and biodegradable urns

Ashes can be scattered from their original container or can be transferred to a more aesthetically pleasing container, such as a scatter tube. There are many designs available and they can be personalised with family photos, a special place or vehicle or even their much loved pet. These enable to ashes to be stored securely and on display until you are ready to scatter.

At Home

There are many options for keeping ashes at home, ranging from urns, keepsakes, ornaments to garden sculptures. Some options can be personalised with details of name and dates.

Brochures for all the above are available on request.

Jewellery

We understand the importance of having your special person with you through all of life’s adventures and all the big life moments!

We work closely with 3 trusted companies who provide beautiful personalised memorial jewellery. This can be made with ashes or even a lock of hair.
