However we also understand that many families would prefer to personalise the service to reflect their individual requirements and personal wishes. With this in mind we are able to offer many of the services that have previously been mentioned in this brochure, although additional fees will apply. Vehicles We will provide a hearse for the funeral of a child over 1 year of age and for a younger child or baby we adapt our ‘Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle’ to use as a suitable vehicle for the coffin and parents to travel in. Other specialised vehicles are available and details can be found on the following pages:- Limousines Page 28 Specialist Hearses Page 27 Horse drawn Hearses Page 27 Coffins & Caskets We include the provision of our ‘Rose Coffin or Casket’, (shown on previous page) supplied in a colour of your choosing within our ‘Airedale Funeral’. The coffin or casket can form a central focal point to any funeral service and the different types of coffin or casket available to a family can seem daunting at times. We are here to carefully listen to your wishes and thoughts regarding the type of coffin or casket that you wish for your child or little one to rest in and respond sensitively to your wishes. All coffins and caskets for children and little ones are crafted individually dependent on the size of the child and this may lead to a longer then normal delivery time for your selected choice. A selection of adult coffins, which can generally be made in smaller sizes are shown in this brochure on pages 30 - 36. Cremated Remains Vessels For information on the options available to you going forward, please refer to pages 41 - 43 of this brochure. Many vessels for cremated remains or more suited to adults, for this reason we recommend that if you would like a vessel to hold your child's or little ones cremated, that you visit our partner supplier, ‘Urns UK’, who have a wide range of Urns and caskets specifically design with a child or little one in mind. www.urnsuk.com Order of Service We are able to produce a personalised Order of Service for your child or little one in any quantity. If appropriate we would encourage you to supply us with 2 -3 photographs that we can use in the order of Service, providing you and your family with a treasured keepsake of the service.
