Yes. We offer a range of coffins to suit different preferences, styles and budgets. Choosing a coffin is a personal part of arranging a funeral, and our team can talk you through the options available to help you find something that feels appropriate for your loved one.

What types of coffins are available?

Traditional, high-quality wood coffins remain a popular choice, but there are many alternatives available. Depending on your preferences, you may wish to consider coffins made from:

• Wood
• Bamboo
• Wool
• Wicker
• Willow
• Cardboard
• Recycled materials

Some families prefer a traditional appearance, while others choose a coffin based on their loved one’s personality, values or wishes.

Can a coffin be personalised?

There are several ways you can add personal touches to a coffin and make the funeral feel more reflective of the person you are remembering.

You may wish to place flowers, photographs, flags or other meaningful items on or around the coffin. These could represent your loved one’s family, interests, career, hobbies or something else that was particularly important to them.

If there is something specific you would like to incorporate, our team can discuss the options with you as part of the funeral arrangements.

Can personal items be placed inside the coffin?

You may wish to place meaningful mementoes inside the coffin, such as photographs, letters, jewellery or a watch.

However, there can be restrictions on what can remain inside a coffin for cremation. Some items or materials may need to be removed beforehand to comply with the requirements of the crematorium.

If you are considering placing a personal item with your loved one, please let us know. We can advise you on whether it can remain with them or whether it will need to be removed and returned to you discreetly.

How do I choose the right coffin?

There is no single right choice. Your decision may be influenced by your loved one’s wishes, the type of funeral being arranged, personal preferences and your budget.

We understand that making this decision can feel difficult, particularly when you are dealing with many other funeral arrangements at the same time. Our team can explain the different options available and give you the time you need to make your choice.
