Arranging a funeral
Yes, we offer a wide selection of coffins to suit different preferences and budgets, including traditional wooden coffins and environmentally friendly alternatives such as willow, wicker, bamboo, wool and recycled-material coffins.
Choosing a coffin is an important part of arranging a funeral and many families find comfort in selecting an option that reflects the personality, beliefs or wishes of their loved one.
Traditional wooden coffins remain a popular choice, offering a timeless appearance and a selection of finishes and styles. We also provide a growing range of environmentally friendly coffins made from materials such as bamboo, willow, wicker, wool, cardboard and other sustainable or recycled materials. These options are often chosen by families seeking a more environmentally conscious funeral.
When selecting a coffin, it's important to consider whether the funeral will be a burial or cremation, as this can influence the materials available. Our experienced funeral directors can explain the different options and help you choose a coffin that best reflects your loved one's wishes whilst remaining within your budget.
Many families also choose to personalise a coffin to create a more meaningful tribute. This may include floral arrangements, photographs, favourite items, flags, sporting memorabilia or written messages from family and friends. Personal touches can help celebrate a person's life and create a unique farewell.
Special mementoes such as jewellery, letters, photographs or other keepsakes can often be placed inside the coffin. If the funeral is to be a cremation, some items may need to be removed beforehand in line with crematorium regulations and environmental requirements. Any items that cannot remain with your loved one will be returned to you discreetly and respectfully.
Our team understands that choosing a coffin can feel overwhelming during an emotional time. We are here to provide guidance, explain the available options and answer any questions you may have, helping you make an informed decision that feels right for you and your family.
