Explore our funeral themes
When you choose a tailored funeral, you’ll be able to personalise everything. We’ve created 3 popular funeral themes; traditional, contemporary and natural, each including a selection of ideas for the service. These are just a guide of what you may want, and you may find these useful as a starting point if you need some inspiration. If you decide on a theme, you can add anything you want to the arrangements, creating a funeral most fitting for the person who has died.
Many people choose a traditional style of funeral because it’s what the person wanted or perhaps how your family prefers to do things. A traditional funeral remains a very popular choice.
We can help you add contemporary, inspiring and unique personal touches. If they had any hobbies or passions, we can help you find ways to include these in the funeral.
Greener, environmentally friendlier funerals are possible, and they can be made personal, colourful and unique. If arranging a funeral like this is important to you, we can help you make a funeral more eco-friendly.
You'll need to pay 50% of the total estimated funeral costs within 48 hours of making the arrangement.
After the funeral, you’ll receive an invoice to be paid within 21 days. We don’t need a deposit if you have a solicitor’s letter or bankers draft confirming the funeral will be paid from the estate.
If you instruct Co-op Legal Services to carry out probate of the estate, they’ll pay us the cost of the funeral, providing there are sufficient assets that can be sold after. You might still have to pay an amount within 48 hours of arranging the funeral, but this will be reimbursed.
