Floral Tributes

It is a long standing tradition in many communities that friends and family pay their respects by sending flowers or making a donation to charity. Your local funeral director can organise flowers for you. They can also collect, record and distribute donations to charity on your behalf.

You can view our full range of floral tributes online, we also have a range of tributes that you can order online and arrange delivery to a family home or funeral director. For more details please visit the Floral Tributes pages.

Notices

The obituary notice in a local, national or other publication announces the death and funeral details and can also become a tribute to the person who has died, by perhaps containing a verse. Some people like to place acknowledgement notices in the newspaper after the funeral, thanking people who have supported them. Your local Co-operative Funeralcare Funeral Director can help to organise these notices for you.

Book of remembrance

Some people also like to compile a book of compliments, reflections and memories about the person who has died, written by family and friends attending the service or afterwards.

Memorials

You don't have to decide whether to put a memorial on the grave or on the site of the burial of ashes until after the funeral. The regulations about what kind of memorial can be put up, and when, vary considerably from place to place. Your funeral director can advise you on this and make any arrangements on your behalf.
