Printing Of Service Sheets
We can print service sheets for services in church or at the crematorium with a picture of a loved one on the front and other pictures on the reverse. These are often something that the congregation like to keep as a keepsake of a family member or friend.
Choice Of Coffins
We offer a wide range of coffin designs including veneered for cremation or solid oak/mahogany for burial. We can also offer wicker, bamboo, cardboard and colourful coffins which can be decorated with your own individual design.
