Coffins And Caskets

To some people the selection of a coffin is a largely functional decision based upon the overall presentation of the coffin with floral tributes and its cost.

Floral Tributes

For centuries people have used flowers to express their emotion at their own loss and their sympathy to others.

Vehicles

We have a high quality modern fleet of vehicles to support our work. Most notable are our fleet of funeral hearse and funeral limousines which are black Jaguar vehicles of the latest XJ model, all of which are marked with our distinctive ‘TFS’ personalised number plates.

Catering

Often referred to as a ‘Wake’ the getting together after a funeral of those that attended is an important part of the day. The Wake tends to be a less formal setting where everyone can relax and remember the person that has passed away.

Funeral Celebrant

The appointment of a person that will lead the funeral service is of paramount importance for it is the planning of the service and ultimately what is said during it that will hopefully form a meaningful and enduring positive memory of the funeral.

Printing

We are often asked to provide printed literature for a funeral; most often in the form of an Order of Service, which details the parts of the funeral service and those taking part. If hymns are to be sung, the words are also printed.

Memorial Stonemasonry

For centuries people have created memorials to remember their loved ones. A memorial provides a focus for personal memories - a place to visit, lay flowers, and reflect on happy times.

Unattended Direct Cremation
