🎵 Funeral Music: Traditional, Modern or Celebration of Life? 🎵

Choosing music for a funeral is a very personal decision. There’s no right or wrong — it’s about reflecting the person you’re remembering. Here’s a simple guide to the three most common approaches families choose today:

🕊 Traditional
Often centred around hymns and familiar pieces that offer comfort and reassurance. These choices are timeless and grounding, especially for religious or more formal services.
Examples include:
Abide With Me • Amazing Grace • The Lord Is My Shepherd

🤍 Modern
Contemporary songs that reflect personality, memories and emotion. These are often chosen for their meaningful lyrics and strong personal connection.
Examples include:
Supermarket Flowers • Hallelujah • Angels • You Raise Me Up

🌿 Celebration of Life
Uplifting, hopeful or even joyful music that reflects how someone lived, not just that they have died. These services often focus on gratitude, storytelling and shared memories.
Examples include:
Somewhere Over the Rainbow • What a Wonderful World • You’ll Never Walk Alone

Music has the power to say what words sometimes can’t. Whether traditional, modern or celebratory, the most important thing is that it feels right for them.
💬 Which would you choose — or would you mix all three?

🕊️ Choosing a Grave Headstone: A Meaningful Decision 🕊️

Choosing a grave headstone is a deeply personal part of remembering a loved one. It’s more than a marker—it’s a lasting tribute that reflects a life, a story, and the love that remains.

When making this choice, many families take time to consider what best represents their loved one. From traditional designs to more personalised styles, materials, wording, and symbols can all help create something truly meaningful. Simple inscriptions, cherished verses, or subtle motifs can speak volumes and offer comfort for years to come.

It’s also important to consider cemetery regulations, durability, and how the headstone will sit within its surroundings. Taking guidance during this process can help ease decisions at what is often a difficult time.

Above all, there’s no right or wrong choice—only what feels right for you and your family. A thoughtfully chosen headstone becomes a place for reflection, remembrance, and connection.

If you’re thinking about memorial options or would like gentle advice, support is always available. 🤍

💗 Personalised Keepsakes, Made with Love 💗

Sometimes the smallest items carry the deepest meaning. Personalised jewellery and keepsakes offer a beautiful way to keep a loved one close—tucked against your heart, held in your hand, or placed somewhere special at home.

Whether it’s a delicate necklace, a memorial charm, or a carefully crafted ornament, each personalised piece tells a story. They’re designed to honour memories, celebrate lives, and provide comfort in moments when words aren’t enough.

These items aren’t just keepsakes—they become symbols of connection, love, and remembrance. Thoughtfully made and uniquely personal, they allow you to carry a part of someone special with you, always. ✨
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to remember a loved one or create a heartfelt gift for someone dear, personalised items offer a timeless and touching tribute.

Our T F Morritt Branches are here to help you. We have some samples in all of our branches, please call in.
💞 Always remembered. Always cherished.
