Railway Funeral, Burial on Own Land…..whatever you want

If you’re trying to arrange an alternative type of funeral, this service is for you. We guide you through the practicalities of arranging a special and unique event.

If a different type of funeral is your wish, we will do our very best to help you achieve it. Peace Funerals have been supporting families for over 23 years to create special funerals which reflect the personality and interests of the person who has died.

Our team of experienced, creative, problem-solving professionals will help you to design and implement a funeral that feels fitting and personal. 

From funerals where the last journey is on a steam hauled train, to those where the burial takes place on the family’s own land. Or ceremonies in different types of venue; or funerals based on a theme (a pastime or sport); or where the family provide their own vehicle for the coffin, whatever your wishes, we can help.

When nearly all funerals that took place were black cars, traditional coffins, and vicars, Peace Funerals broke the mould and made new choices available. If you want something different, allow us to use our experience to help you.

Thank you to peace funerals for my husband's funeral, it was beautiful from going to arrange the funeral to the funeral day. They did everything we asked nothing was to much trouble. I would like to thank Charlie especially for all the arrangements and service card everything was perfect.

James helped minimise the stress at what was obviously a very difficult time for our family. We were glad that Dad was laid to rest in a beautiful place and that we had the flexibility to arrange things just as we wanted. We will will be forever grateful for the compassion and empathy shown by James...

Gavin and his team run an excellent service - they all go above and beyond to make sure everything is as you request. Peace dealt with dad's funeral and mum has already insisted we use them for hers.
