Stationery/Printing


We are able to arrange printing personalised order of service sheets and pew cards to record those people who have attended the service and other printing requirements on request.


Catering For the Reception after the funeral


We can arrange for you upon request, catering at various venues who are experienced in providing funeral buffets:


• Local restaurants to accommodate large or small gatherings supplying hot meals or buffet style meals.


• Outside catering to host the funeral buffet at your home or in a church hall/village hall.


Music


At a funeral service, music can help to reflect the character of the deceased as a reminder of their personality, taste and interests. A personal favourite piece of music can be uplifting and helpful to you at the funeral.


Cremated remains


At the time of making funeral arrangements, it is not easy to realise the emotional benefit which can be gained by having somewhere to go, a place that you and your family can go back to, allowing you to pay your respects to your loved one.


It has been acknowledged that this can help with the healing process after the funeral.


The Funeral Director will help in arranging the interment or scattering of cremated remains, as soon as possible, or after a period of reflection. We are happy to keep cremated remains in our care at the funeral home until you have made a decision, if you wish.


We can provide an urn or casket for interment in Cemetery, Churchyard or Crematorium Garden, or a scatter tube if you intend to scatter them at a location special to your family.


Memorials


A memorial stone is not just a marker that is erected over a grave, it is a lasting symbol of remembrance, a way of paying tribute to a life now ended.


We can arrange for new headstones and crematorium memorials.


Existing memorials can be cleaned and additional inscriptions in the same style can be added. Please ask for details and a brochure.


Charitable Donations


We will collect, if requested donations for a charitable organisation of your choice, record the donations and forward them on your behalf. All donations are recorded.
