Let us guide youChoosing the right coffin, casket and ashes container is an important part of the funeral arrangements. The style chosen can reflect the personality or wishes of your loved one and provide a meaningful goodbye.

Our funeral arrangers will help you by taking you through the options so you can be certain that you have made a befitting choice.

From traditional coffins through to our more modern picture collection, and from urns to other kinds of ashes containers, we have options to suit every personality. We’re here to help you make the right choice for you.

You may be surprised to discover there’s a lot of choice.Our range means you can choose a coffin that has meaning to you and your loved one. For example, a coffin made from their favourite wood, or a picture coffin that reflects their hobbies and interests. Adding religious and non-denominational symbols is also a way in which you can make it personal.

The table on each page allows you to compare at a glance, and help you make the right choice for you and your loved one.

From solid wood to veneered coffins (an engineered wood covered with a thin layer of either real wood or synthetic material), taffeta lining to the more traditional and luxurious satin.

A N OV ERV I EW OF COF F I NS, CA SK ETS & A SHES CON TA I N ER S

There are many decisions which will have a bearing on the type of coffin you select: What were the wishes of your loved one? Will the funeral be cremation or burial? How will the deceased be carried to the service? Will you be visiting them in our chapel of rest, or having them return to a place of worship or home?

We will guide you through the suitable coffins based on the arrangements you choose, all the while making sure it reflects their personality.
