Buy Coffins On-Line

On-line Coffin Store


When you arrange a funeral, the last thing your funeral director will show you is their range of coffins. It is generally considered the most poignant part of an arrangement and is thus broached only after all other aspects of the funeral have been dealt with.

The intention of The Funeral Consultant was always to provide the public with a sympathetic ear and strong shoulder, a free and altruistic enterprise which was available to every person young and old in the UK - 24 hours a day. This will never change because the tenet of help and guidance is key to the company’s current success, but what is changing is the direction of enterprise.

For a while now the company has been offering cremation memorialisation at a vastly reduced rate than most funeral directors in the local area and further afield. This is because it has forged excellent trading partnerships from the owners’ combined 20 years experience in the funeral and floristry quarters and lack of overhead costs borne by funeral homes.

Now The Funeral Consultant draws its attention to Coffins, offering a stress-free and competent route down which any bereaved family could travel confidently.

The process is simple:

1)       Choose the coffin from the website - http://www.funeralconsultant.co.uk
2)       Contact The Funeral Consultant
3)       Relay to The Funeral Consultant the measurements of the person who has died
4)       Allow the company to arrange safe delivery of the coffin to the chosen funeral home

No show room. No hassle. No pain.

It really is that straightforward, and because The Funeral Consultant is a cottage home-based industry with their clients’ interests at heart, the prices of each coffin are kept to an absolute minimum.

Marcel Proust


People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive.  It is as though they were traveling abroad.

Play Jolly Music At My Funeral

I’ve taken in recent years to thinking about my funeral
and have decided to make one paramount request:
play jolly music at that ritual.
What good does it do to heap on dirges
or other mournful melodies?
I won’t be there to be gratified by the grieving
and if I could tune in
I’d be happier to see those present have some relief.
Dixieland would be nice.
Joplin would be fine.
Something by Fats Waller would certainly do.
Those early jazzmen knew what they were up to
when they set about making funeral marches swing.
So swing me away, please, with a rousing tune.

If Its Available We'll Provide It

The Funeral Consultant is your friend in need, a 24/7 funeral advice service offering help and support when you need it the most.

These days any type of music is acceptable at a funeral service. I once heard the Sex Pistols' version of 'My Way'. Importantly, what you want to listen to and what was loved by the person who died is the ultimate guide to music choice. Music is, after all, the food of love.

We are proud to offer an insight into the Wesley Music Sound Solutions. A small piece can be found on our website that includes a link to the music library available at Torquay Crematorium and other Crematoria around the country – any that use the system. Pay us a visit when you have a moment.

Wesley Music provides music systems for Crematoria enabling families to choose almost any piece of commercial music or hymn. Their tag is 'If it's available, we'll provide it', and if the Crematorium system does not store a track you particularly want they will locate it if specified two or more days before the funeral.

It is an excellent system, also providing service broadcasts for those who cannot attend.

Please visit: http://www.funeralconsultant.co.uk/ and choose the 'Wesley Music' link to find out more or search through their music libraries. You can do this before you visit your funeral director - yet another thing that you can cross from your list.

While waiting for thee

Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.
