Funeral Arrangements

Arrangements

Stationery
We can help design and print all funeral stationery including Books of Condolence, Announcement Cards, Acknowledgement Cards and Orders of Service.

Funeral Music
Funeral music depends on the location of the service and the personal choices of the family. All churches have either an electronic or piped organ. Most, but no all have some form of Public Address system on which CDs can be played. The choice of CD music will have to be agreed by the Minster. All crematoria have both electronic organ and CD facilities.

We can also arrange for a piper or a vocal or instrumental soloist to perform as part of the Service.

The choice of music is yours and can be traditional or reflect the likes and life of the deceased or the family.

A number of Churches and crematoria use the Wesley system, which is an electronic system of pre-recorded music with vocal accompaniment. We recommend that the services of an organist are engaged in preference to allow flexibility and last minute changes to the programme.

If an organist is required at the Service we can arrange one for you.

Graveside Music
For those wishing to have a graveside Service a portable CD player can be used.

Webcam
A small number of crematoria have the facility to webcam Services to enable those who cannot attend, either in this country or abroad to follow the Service online.

Videoing funeral services is only permitted with the consent of the family, crematorium and the Minister. The same applies for still photography.

Newspapers Announcements
Modern communications now provide a fast and efficient means of informing friends and relatives of your sad loss. However, you may still wish to place a Death Announcement in either a local or National paper. We will be pleased to undertake this on your behalf and advise you of the appropriate wording.
