Personalising the funeral service
There are many different ways a funeral can celebrate the individuality of the person who has died. We have a wide range of options to help you personalise the service in a unique and fitting way. Many local crematoria have a media library system where you can select your personal choice of music to use during the service. Music does not have to be limited to classical pieces or a hymn. Favourite pop songs, musicals and even music recorded by a family member can personalise the funeral service. With enough notice, we are able to arrange musicians and/or a choir for the funeral service. Some examples include bagpipes or a bugler. Please ask us for details of cost and availability. MUSIC FOR THE FUNERAL SERVICE WEB CASTING It is possible at certain venues to transmit live chapel or service hall proceedings, privately and securely over the internet to invited guests. Using the latest network technologies, a virtual environment is provided in which absent family and friends can view the service from anywhere in the world. Please ask us for details of cost and availability. ONLINE TRIBUTES AND DONATIONS During the funeral consultation, we will set up a personal tribute page for you. Our online tribute service helps you to remember and celebrate a loved one’s life, to share their memories, stories, photos and videos, light virtual candles in remembrance as well as publish details of the funeral service for everyone to view. Friends, family and guests can also donate online to your chosen charity or charities through this service. To find out more about this service, please speak to your funeral consultant and visit our website. This service is included in our professional services, at no extra cost. BENEFITS OF AN ONLINE TRIBUTE PAGE • Friendly and easy to use service where you have complete control over the content • A funeral notice is published to inform guests about the funeral details, saving you time and energy • Easy to use on a tablet or mobile device so you can upload a comment at any time of day or night, anywhere • Online donations can be made to any charity or multiple charities, no matter how small, with the option to apply for gift aid • Allows you to stay in touch with others, helping you through the grieving process • The personal tribute will last forever and you can help your loved one’s memory live on for future generations
