Meaningful touches that speak from the heart
We offer a range of extended services that can help personalise the day, celebrate memories, and create a lasting tribute.
It’s often the smallest details that leave the deepest impression.
At West & Coe, we offer a range of additional services and personal touches that can be added to any funeral arrangement. These optional elements provide thoughtful ways to honour your loved one’s life, personality, and the moments that mattered most.
Below we have highlighted our more requested additional services.
However please do not hesitate to speak to a team member if you wish to explore any other options.
Music
Music can be a deeply personal element of a farewell, offering a powerful way to honour your loved one’s memory and reflect their unique life. Whether you choose traditional hymns or contemporary songs that hold special meaning, we are here to help you select the perfect accompaniment.
Our team provides full support in sourcing your musical choices, from specific recordings to live performances. While we typically coordinate professional organists, soloists, or traditional pipers, we are also happy to source alternative performers to ensure the music provides a fitting tribute that truly reflects your wishes.
Doves
Releasing a white dove at the end of a service serves as a moving tribute, offering a beautiful symbol of peace as your loved one begins their onward journey.
This poignant gesture provides a moment of serene reflection for family and friends during the final farewell. A member of our team will be able to provide further detail and organise this special service for you.
Flowers
We work with a number of trusted local florists who deliver exceptional quality and can create beautiful, personalised arrangements tailored to your wishes. Whether you prefer traditional floral tributes or a unique, bespoke design, we are here to help you choose flowers that serve as a meaningful tribute to your loved one.
A member of our team would be happy to provide details of recommended florists in your area or assist you in coordinating specific floral requests.
Visual Tribute
Visual tributes offer a powerful way to bring memories to life, providing comfort, connection and storytelling when words fall short. We can help you create a bespoke montage of photographs to be shown during the service or shared with family and friends as a lasting keepsake.
Typically, we recommend a selection of up to 25 photos, which can be elegantly set to your choice of music. As technical facilities vary by location, our team will advise whether your chosen venue has the necessary screen to accommodate this service.
Live Streaming
For guests who are unable to attend in person, we can facilitate a professional webcast service through our local crematoriums, allowing friends and family to join the service from anywhere in the world.
This secure and respectful viewing experience is provided via a private access link for invited guests only. The setup is professionally managed to deliver high-quality video and sound, and it can be accessed easily without the need for special software or technical knowledge. Please speak with a member of our team if you would like to include a webcast as part of your arrangements.
Recording
When a funeral takes place at some of our local crematoriums, the webcast service can also provide a high-definition recording of the full ceremony. Available as a digital file, this allows the service to be shared securely with family and friends who were unable to attend or revisited as a lasting tribute after the day itself.
Please speak with a member of our team if you would like to include a recording as part of your arrangements.
Donate in Memory & Funeral Notices
To help you support a cause close to your heart, we can facilitate and manage a dedicated online tribute page in memory of your loved one. This secure platform allows family and friends to donate to your chosen charity and leave personal messages of remembrance.
To make sharing easy, we will provide you with a unique web link and QR code for use in service sheets, in person or digitally.
Please speak with a member of our team for further details on setting up a charitable collection or managing your online tribute.
Memory Boxes
We offer two elegant designs for our Memory Boxes: Cherry Blossom or Forget Me Not. Each box is thoughtfully designed to help families celebrate the life and legacy of a loved one by providing a secure, special place to keep cherished mementos close at hand.
