Make your funeral service truly unique with the Canvas

From the moment you enter the chapel, our Personalised Experiences help you to experience a deeply personal tribute by using immersive visuals, meaningful images and complementary lighting.

Using the Canvas and supporting technology, we help family and friends to say goodbye to loved ones like never before.

Reflect your loved one’s story with a Personalised Experience

When you choose a Personalised Experience, it’s beautifully reflected throughout multiple areas of the venue. From the moment you arrive, your loved one’s memory is honoured through:

  • The Welcome Screen – greeting family and friends with warmth and remembrance

  • Their name and Halo Photo on the Canvas – a touching focal point throughout the service displaying their image and name

  • A matching Themed Tribute – up to 25 cherished photos accompanied by a song of your choice to be played at a chosen moment during the service

  • The Gallery - an area to reflect before or after the service with your carefully selected images in digital frames on the wall.

Every element works together to create a deeply personal and comforting experience for all who gather to pay their respects.
