The Fantastic Funeral Company - coffins, caskets, food and flowers...

Associated Products The Fantastic Funeral Company has looked very carefully at products relating to funerals (we don’t like the word ‘product’ as it sounds clinical, but can’t identify anything more suitable!) Following our research, we have sourced suppliers that can offer something to suit all requirements. The list below is only a guide as you may have your own and very personal ideas. When commissioning bespoke items, notice is needed as these are all individually made. • Coffins • Caskets and Urns • Body Bags • Shrouds • Getting You There • Order of Service • Invitation Cards • Book of Remembrance • Flowers • Music • Mourning Jewellery • Memory Box • Food/Catering • Audio and Visual • Life Through Film • Fireworks • Carved Memorial Stones


Coffins Like so many things, the choice of coffins is huge! You may want a traditional wooden coffin or you may prefer something that reflects your personality, perhaps something very natural like bamboo or wicker. You can also commission your own coffin decorated in a style that suits you. Are you a football supporter? A glamorous always-have-my-diamonds-on type? Patriotic? You might like a Union Jack coffin! Or you might have different and very individual preferences, if so, please ask us about the range of ‘Crazy Coffins’ we can supply. Basically, think of it and we can supply it for you.

Mourning Jewellery Celebrating the life of someone you love doesn't need to end with the funeral. Your loved one can be celebrated every day with the creation of a 'remembrance ring'. Form Bespoke jewellers have built on a Victorian tradition and have added modern and sophisticated expertise to their stunning designs. A remembrance ring can be made in 9 or 18ct white or yellow gold and is inlayed with your own personal and unique message. Your chosen words are then set into enamel and created in a colour of your choice. A remembrance ring is an individual and long-lasting tribute that you truly will treasure.

Memory Box An eventful life is often accompanied by a collection of possessions that remind us of happy times, friends and family members. How fitting to leave certain items, not necessarily valuable, to those who have shared personal experiences with you. A large box could contain several smaller boxes, each named for a particular person. Perhaps a treasured ring for a granddaughter, a tie pin for a grandson. Pebbles collected on the beach may evoke specific and special memories. A hand made Christmas decoration. The list goes on… Click here to enquire about Memory Boxes
