Alternatives

Alternative funerals are not just for the non-religious among us, they are a new way of embracing the final farewell and making it a very personal occasion - more choice must be given to the individual planning their funeral or their families.

More and more people are opting to celebrate a loved one's life rather than have a very expensive and sorrowful formality.

We believe we're bringing a breath of fresh air to the funeral industry, by offering more choice and affordability to people who want something a little bit more personal and unique. Our aim is to create funerals that celebrate life, that reflect the departed's personality and passions and that are a fitting way to give your loved one a special send off.

We offer alternatives to the sombre formality British funerals have become, by being able to create an event tailored to individuals' wishes such as a football themed farewell, environmentally-friendly woodland burials or even fireworks and a brass band.

Our alternative coffins range from wicker or cardboard coffins, to caskets made to order shaped like a boat, race car or even in favourite football team colours.
