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.
The Touches Our Families Remember Long After the Day Itself
J Perigoe & Son and AW Court offers a full range of additional services that can be woven into any funeral arrangement helping our families create a farewell that feels genuinely personal.
It is often the finest details that family and friends carry with them the longest.
Across the communities we serve, farewells take many different forms. The additional options we provide are designed to honour each unique life, respecting every personal, cultural, and family tradition.
The personal touches highlighted below are some of the most popular choices among our families. However, we warmly welcome any other ideas you may have, ensuring every detail feels completely right for your loved one.
Music That Belonged to Them.
We support our families in sourcing their musical choices from professional organists and soloists to Scottish pipers, trumpet players for a last bugle call, and specific recordings. Whether the service is held at a local church, chapel or crematorium, we will help find the music that is truly fitting for your service.
Doves: A Moment of Moving Symbolism
A professional dove release at the close of a service offers a quiet, poignant moment of reflection that suits the beautiful, open character of our local landscape.
Floral Arrangements
We partner with local florists, together, we create meaningful floral tributes that feel genuinely fitting for both the person and the setting. Our trusted partners can craft everything from timeless, traditional formal tributes to highly individual, bespoke arrangements that capture a unique personality
A Life in Photographs. A Service Shared Beyond the Room.
A photographic montage can bring together decades and chapters of a life, set to music and shown during the service. For family members who cannot travel, we can facilitate live streaming through our local venues, such as Hastings and Rother Crematorium and through Barham Crematorium. We will work with each venue to confirm streaming availability, as technical facilities vary.
Where recording is available, a digital file of the full ceremony can be provided something to share with family and friends who not able to attend or to return to in the months that follow.
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.
An online tribute page
An online tribute page allows family and friends to donate to a chosen charity and leave messages of remembrance. We take care of setting up and managing this platform securely for you, providing a seamless way for people to show their support during a difficult time.
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.
The Value of a Pre-Arranged Funeral Plan:
- Eases the burden on loved ones: Removes the stress of making complex arrangements and financial decisions during a deeply emotional time.
- Establishes clear intentions: Ensures your precise preferences are formally recorded and respected.
- Fixes service costs: Outsmarts changing economic times by locking in funeral director fees at today’s values.
- Provides profound reassurance: Offers lasting comfort today, knowing your future arrangements are completely settled.
- Professionally overseen: Meticulously coordinated by our dedicated, long-standing local team.
