Our Services
There are many ways in which a funeral service can be personalised and many reasons for wanting to do so. If people have spent their lives supporting a particular football team, or played in a band or group, it can be nice to include a reference to this during the day. The country of someone’s birth or membership of a club or society can also be represented at the funeral.
A horse drawn hearse may help to reflect on a life spent around horses, a motorcycle sidecar hearse might be perfect for an avid bike rider, even things like milk floats and lorries have been used to add a personal touch in the past. Other services are available and the list below will give you access to a more comprehensive guide.
Coffins can be made to resemble almost anything. Canal boats, skateboards and skips have all been built in the past.
The coffin could also be painted to match a sports team colours, or to show a hobby or pastime. Cardboard, wicker and bamboo coffins can also be supplied.

Dependent on the age of a deceased it can be a nice alternative to have balloons instead of flowers.
They can be tied to the coffin, used as displays at the service, or released at the graveside.
We can arrange for a release of white doves at a service or graveside.
There can be as many or as few birds as you wish and members of the family can release them personally.
To add a very special element to the day we are able to arrange for a Scottish piper to play at the service, a jazz band, a saxophonist or even a soloist.
Also, the service can be recorded and put onto CD.

Before the ceremony, you may wish to see your loved one in the chapel of rest to spend some final moments together and say your last goodbyes. Doing so may help provide a little closure and some comfort for the family and those close to the deceased, especially if the death was sudden or unexpected.
If this is something you would like to arrange, we have our own chapel of rest located at our premises and can take care of everything on your behalf.
You can rest assured that everyone entrusted to our care is treated with the greatest respect and the upmost dignity. Before being situated in their casket or coffin, they will be carefully washed and shaven with their features set, make-up applied, and hair styled.
