Finishing touches

Compiling and designing an order of service can be a nice job for somebody computer savvy in the lead up to the ceremony.

It doesn’t have to include the order of the ceremony itself. Perhaps you would like to choose a collection of pictures to be printed as postcards for people to keep, maybe with a meaningful reading on the back.

Live music can make a funeral very memorable. Think of a New Orleans funeral march. Much is possible, just remember to consider technical requirements and the needs of other mourners if you will be in a shared space such as a crematorium.

We can put you in touch with friendly and talented local coffin makers who might be able to invite you to their workshop, perhaps to even weave some of the coffin yourselves. Using locally sourced, beautiful, strong, sustainable willow.

Any funeral can be recorded – as long as everyone attending is comfortable with the idea. This could be useful if certain family members are overseas and unable to attend in-person. Or perhaps you would simply like a record of the important day.

The footage from the funeral could be edited into a memorial video that can be shared with mourners whether they were in attendance of the event or not.

We can provide you with a simple, well-made scatter tube that you can design yourself by writing, drawing, or painting on it. They also come covered in your choice of high-quality printed design.

You can find urns that are beautiful objects of art – crafted in many materials.

Ashes scattering ceremonies can go with a real bang! You can have some of the ashes turned into a rocket that can be fired upwards to disperse among the stars, perhaps over a meaningful favourite place.

The ashes can be processed into a a glittering stone which can be set in jewellery for you to keep or wear with you always.
