Mindful details

Coffins

The coffin is often a point of focus on the day of the funeral, and it is useful to choose and order one early.

You might find a design that suits your person exactly, or you might choose something simple that you can decorate and arrange in a personal style.

There is a great variety of materials, shapes and colours out there. We have our recommended suppliers you can look to, or you might want something specific or custom built, or even build your own. We can help you find what you need.

You will want to think about how the coffin is placed on the day, and how it is carried. You can find pallbearers amongst yourselves, all shapes and sizes are welcome, and we can provide professionals to help.

It can be a rewarding experience to paint or decorate the coffin in advance, as an opportunity to gather and as a creative outlet. We will happily provide the space for you to do that. 

You might want to consider a local coffin supplier to lessen the climate footprint. 

Urns

When choosing an urn, consider the urn’s purpose: home display, burial, or scattering ashes. Choose a material and style that reflects the deceased’s personality, such as wood, metal, ceramic, or biodegradable options.

Ensure the urn’s size and capacity are appropriate for the amount of ashes. Customize the urn with engravings, photos, or artwork to create a unique memorial.

Practical considerations include ease of care, durability, and security.

Here are some of the urns we can supply.

Orders of service

An order of service is a printed program for a funeral or memorial service.

It outlines the sequence of events, including hymns, readings, and tributes, and can include photos, poems, or personal touches.

This helps guests follow the service, honours the person, and provides a physical reminder of the event.
