Optional Extras if they feel right for you
If you’d like to add any extras, you can. There’s never any pressure, and a clear, transparent price.
Caskets
If you’d like to upgrade your casket from the standard size simple cremation casket, you can choose from a range of options—whether that’s something more traditional, an eco-friendly sustainably grown timber, or a natural option like willow or a New Zealand wool blend.
Urns and Scatter Urns
Which urn you choose comes down to what feels right for you—if you’d like to keep your loved one close at home or in a special place, an urn can feel really comforting, while a scatter urn can help you gently let them go somewhere meaningful.
You can also think about how you want to remember them—whether it feels right for you to have something you can visit or hold onto, or if it brings you more peace to return them to nature-and it’s okay to take your time and choose what feels best when you’re ready.
Keepsakes
Keepsakes are mementos you can keep to feel close to your loved one—they could hold ashes, a lock of hair, or a photo, so you can carry their memory with you in a gentle, comforting way.
You can choose keepsakes that feel special to you—whether it’s jewellery you can wear, a wooden heart you can hold onto, or a metallic rose you can keep as a reminder of your loved one, or something you can share with family.
Fingerprint Memories
Your loved one is truly one of a kind, just like their fingerprint and Fingerprint Memories turn that uniqueness into something you can hold close. You can choose a hand-crafted piece of jewellery made from their fingerprint, capturing the swirls and shape that are uniquely theirs.
Each silver pendant is created from your loved one’s touch, or from an image of their fingerprint, and becomes a deeply personal keepsake you can wear every day. With different shapes to choose from and a softly textured finish, it gives you something tangible and comforting to remember them by.
