Personal touches
Our colleagues understand how important those personal touches are in making a funeral as unique as your loved one.
From music and transport to flowers and memory pins, there's lots of different options!
And - of you're looking to remember a loved one or make a keepsake for a friend, our memory bears, fingerprint jewellery and ashes to glass jewellery are perfect.
To discuss personal touches or keepsake items/gifts, talk to your nearest funeral home.
Transport
We operate a high quality and meticulously maintained fleet of funeral vehicles for the comfort and convenience of our clients.
Our limousines will seat six persons in comfort and we can arrange any transport requirements for disabled people.
For those seeking something traditional, we’re able to provide a range of horse-drawn hearses, all turned out in full livery. For funerals of motorcycle enthusiasts, we offer a motorcycle-hearse service. There are many more possible options, from a double decker bus to a fire engine hearse.
Talk to the team at your nearest funeral home about what you’d like. We’ll do our very best to arrange it.
Green funerals
Many people are now seeking ways to lessen their impact on the environment and funerals are no exception.
Advice and information is available at all our funeral homes on woodland burials, eco coffins and other funeral related ‘green’ issues.
Music, readings and other touches
Music for a funeral service can be a very personal choice. It may be something chosen by the deceased before they died or chosen by the family who may best remember their loved one through the lyrics or melody.
Hymns or other types of music are usually played at the start of the service, during the service for a period of reflection, and a final piece to end the service - we can arrange for specialist music too, from bagpipes to brass bands.
Our colleagues can help you with appropriate readings and can also talk you through the many other special touches we can add to your ceremony, such as a release of white doves.
Memorials
We employ memorial masons who use traditional hand carving and state-of-the-art technology to produce unique and personal memorials.

Coffins, caskets and urns

Memory pins
We've developed a range of ‘In Memory Pins’ for families to gift to mourners at the funerals of their loved ones. Our twenty individual designs allow for a personal touch, making them a fitting tribute and encouraging unity and togetherness during difficult times.
Memory bears
Our Memory Bears are handmade by a local Lincolnshire supplier, Sewing by Sue, using loved ones’ clothing or sentimental material from a section of a wedding dress, a much loved shirt, baby grow or jacket. There are many combinations that can be incorporated to create a unique and precious Memory Bear. We have 3 sizes of Memory Bear available.
In memory seeds
These personalised funeral seed favours are the perfect sentimental touch to an important and emotional occasion. As the flowers grow, you are giving the gift of life back to the earth, as they are all desirable for insects to pollinate and are considered ‘bee friendly’. Grow happy memories of your loved one; something that family and friends can share in.
Fingerprint jewellery
We offer a range of fingerprint jewellery. Each piece is professionally made with care and attention down to each and every detail.
Ashes to glass
Ashes into Glass® jewellery symbolises eternal love and togetherness. By wearing it or just holding it in your hand, you will connect with your loved one and share special moments together. Each item of jewellery tells a story that is deeply personal to you and will shine with its own character. It may remind you of a starry night sky, a wispy cloud up above, or maybe the ashes floating on a gentle breeze.
Outdoor memorials
We also work with Roll and Scroll, a local business in Grantham, to create personalised and meaningful metal memorial benches. Your unique bench can feature designs that reflect the interests and hobbies of a loved one or even the silhouette of someone special. Please speak to our team about your requirements and we can work with our local supplier to create a special tribute to your loved one.
