Arranging
a funeral is daunting and can be particularly distressing and difficult
to address when emotion is raw.
The
Fantastic Funeral Company is able to advise on many aspects of funeral
arrangements and you can discuss with us, in confidence, the wishes
you would like to be carried out.
Our
bespoke arrangements allow you peace of mind in knowing that the
funeral will be designed exactly as you require.
Take the following example of a
carefully arranged bespoke funeral:
Suzanna contacted us four
months before she died. She wanted to be very involved in the
planning of her funeral and reception afterwards. She said she
needed to do so as her cancer was taking over everything else.
This is the funeral we created
for Suzanna:
Using our ‘Time Together’
photography images of her, family and friends decorated the room
in her home where the funeral was held.
On arrival, forty of Suzanna’s
family and friends were given a single cream rose with a cream
ribbon tied around its long stem which they placed on top of
Suzanna’s cream woollen coffin. Guests listened to the gentle
sounds of a flautist playing Suzanna’s favourite tunes and were
invited to toast her life with a glass of Dom Perignon. Our
Civil Celebrant who had got to know Suzanna well gave a
personal, honest and heartfelt tribute. The celebration was
intimate, sad and moving. But by contrast, funny anecdotes
captured the occasion and were spoken by those closest to her.
Fondue, canapés, wine and champagne were consumed before
concluding with a dove release in the garden. A private
cremation followed for immediate family. Several weeks later we
arranged a public memorial celebration for her other friends and
those who wanted to remember Suzanna.
Designed by a
gifted artisan, Suzanna’s ashes have been placed in the internal
frame of a memorial oak and ceramic birdbath which remains in
her family’s garden.
The Fantastic Funeral Company works with sensitivity and care, using
trusted partners to arrange bespoke and personalised celebrations of
life. We take everything for the occasion into consideration,
including unique: coffins, venues, catering, transport, music,
keepsakes, invitations and memorials.
