Mementos and Flowers

Personal touches can make a funeral service feel truly meaningful and help tell the story of a person’s life. Thoughtfully chosen mementos, along with photos and flowers, can create a warm and personal atmosphere, bringing back special memories and celebrating what made them unique.

Personal Mementos
We’ll work with you to create a service that reflects the life, interests, and personality of the person being remembered. There are many ways to add personal touches, including:

  • Candles
  • Flags and sporting memorabilia
  • RSA involvement, poppies, and The Last Post
  • Balloons, butterflies, or doves
  • Bagpipes
  • Photo displays and memory boards
  • A guard of honour

Over the years, families have also chosen some very unique and memorable tributes, such as:

  • Tractors and trucks
  • Vintage cars
  • Motorbikes and bicycles
  • Boats

Whatever is important to your family and loved one, we’ll do our best to help create a farewell that feels genuine, personal, and connected to their life story.

Flowers

We can arrange the flowers for you through one of our trusted local florists, taking care of everything on your behalf. If you prefer, you’re also welcome to use your own florist or provide flowers from your garden or family.

For the casket spray, many families choose favourite flowers, colours, or blooms that hold special meaning. Some prefer a simple bouquet tied with ribbon, while others choose a more traditional floral arrangement.

Flowers can also be a wonderful way to reflect someone’s personality and interests. We’ve seen families include things like vegetables from the garden, sporting items, favourite fabrics, or decorative butterflies to create a tribute that feels personal and truly tells their story.
