Interior Grave Dressing/Canopies

In addition to dressing the grave in the traditional way with artificial grass matting, we now offer a unique and professional service of Interior Grave Dressing. This option involves lining the walls of the grave with an artificial ivy & flower dressing. The floor of the grave is dressed with leaves, flowers or other materials of choice and a decorative surround is placed on top of the grave.

The purpose of grave dressing is to create an attractive bed, or cradle, into which the coffin is lowered, making this final step as gentle, sensitive and comforting as possible, especially for young family members, as their loved one is laid to rest.

Our service includes:

1. The dressing of the interior of the grave.

2. The dressing can be done on both old graves with surrounds and new graves.

3. Silk flower top surround, a variety of which you can choose from.

4. Fresh flower surrounds can be provided, on request.

5. A decorative wooden platform offers safety while lowering the coffin into the grave, and gives an elegant appearance.

6. A canopy, chairs, and celebrant’s stand complete the grave-side set-up.

7. Artificial grass is laid around the grave, ensuring the area is clean & safe.

8. A PA system is provided.

9. Dove or balloon release, signifying the setting free of a spirit, and grave side music can also be arranged, on request
