The coffin was carried down by the Pallbearers and Funeral Director on a Hand Cart followed by Family and friends. It’s always a challenge to film this moment from lots of different angles without being too intrusive, but it was really important to the family to capture the essence of this part of the Funeral. I had already been filming lots of details such as drone shots alone the canopy of the forest ready to set the scene and lead up to these moments. The whole service was beautifully done, with some singing, a reading, tributes and touching music played in the background at various moments. Once the coffin had been lowered then flowers were sprinkled in the grave while music was played in the background on an instrument which I have never seen before, but sounded amazing.

Here’s a Tribute Film & Slideshow we put together for one of our families where we Live Streamed a Funeral in Dorking a couple of days ago. This was a rather large set of photos, 123 in total set to 3 music tracks. A little bigger than what we normally do but as always we’re happy to work to whatever your ideas are. We also provided the family with a projector and screen and they played this during the wake.

Thank you to the family for allowing me to share these images, It was an absolute privilege to travel up to Skipton to photograph Baby Oliver’s ceremony at Tarn Moor Memorial Woodlands. This was an incredible family who showed immense strength and love throughout the day. There was colouring, painting, stories and reflection as mum & dad shared their thoughts and memories of Oliver. Afterwards we all walked across to Tarn Moor Memorial Woodlands where some final words and readings were shared as his ashes were buried and a tree planted to mark the area.

Whilst most of our work of late has been live streaming, here’s a funeral we filmed a couple of days ago for the lovely Steve Mead, whom I had the privilege to meet last year and who’s life was cut short by this dreaded disease.

His Funeral took place at Greenacres Chiltern Cemetery & Woodland Burial Site set in 72 Acres of beautiful woodland. This was the perfect setting to celebrate his life and the journey into the forest where he was buried and surrounded by nature was truly beautiful.

It was a privilege to film and photograph the memorial service for the family of Author and Novelist Andrea Levy at Golders Green Crematorium in London a couple of weeks ago. She led an amazing life and we were thrilled to capture all her tributes. Leverton & Sons Ltd were the funeral directors for the day and as always they did such a wonderful job.

To Shaun,

A million thank you’s to this amazing man! To us this is such a natural thing to do. It is the last time we will see his body and we will always want to remember him 💙 This lovely man shaun made that possible for us to have many more times to remember him. I highly highly recommend him, he was very kind, sympathetic, discreet and respectful.

Thank you shaun from the bottom of our hearts ♥️ Jai & Family

This particular funeral was a Hindu Funeral, which was very beautiful and it took place at Thorncliffe Cemetery and Crematorium in Barrow-in-Furness. Cumbria. The day started at the Co-op Barrow Funeral Care to film the family arriving and the horse and Carriage as it left. Then it was on to Thorncliffe Crematorium for the ceremony. As is custom, this was an open coffin funeral with a lovely Hindu ceremony involving lots of flowers, butter and other traditions. The care and preparation was incredible, truly beautiful to watch and record on behalf of the family and was probably one of the most intricate ceremonies I have had the privilege to attend. This was followed by the wake which took place at the Chetwynde Hotel
