Meaningful touches that speak from the heart
We offer a range of extended services that can help personalise the day, celebrate memories, and create a lasting tribute.
Every Tradition Honoured. Every Wish Considered
AG Butler & Son offers a range of additional services that can be added to any funeral arrangement helping our families create something that feels genuinely personal, whatever the tradition, the faith, or the life being honoured.
Farewells Built on Personal Details
No two funerals are the same. The extended services we offer reflect that from live streaming for relatives abroad who cannot travel, to floral arrangements that reflect colour traditions, to faith-specific music from many different traditions, to a visual tribute that brings together decades of family photographs.
Whatever would make the service feel right for the person and the family please tell us. No matter how unique your request, we will always do our absolute best to make it happen.
Music from Every Tradition.
We support our families in sourcing their musical choices from recordings to live performances. We can coordinate professional organists, soloists, gospel singers, pipers, and musicians from many different cultural backgrounds. If the music that mattered to your loved one came from a particular tradition, a particular genre or a particular artist, bring that to us and we will work to make it happen.
Doves: A Moving Moment of Peace
A professional dove release at the graveside or crematorium offers a beautiful moment of quiet and moving symbolism at the close of a service. As the doves rise gracefully into the sky, they provide a powerful visual representation of peace, hope, and the gentle releasing of a spirit. This simple yet profound act creates an unforgettable focal point, bringing a deep sense of comfort and shared reflection to family and friends.
Flowers: Vibrant & Personal Tributes
We partner with trusted local florists who design exceptional arrangements in any style you choose. Whether you prefer classic, formal floral tributes or vibrant, colourful displays that reflect the unique personality and cultural traditions of your loved one, we ensure every detail is perfect. Our team will happily guide you through the options and connect you directly with our recommended local florists.
Visual Tributes: Celebrating Every Chapter
A photographic montage set to music is a deeply touching way to tell a life story and celebrate treasured memories. Shown on screens during the service, it provides a beautiful, comforting focal point that brings smiles and fond reflection to everyone in the room. This custom video can also be shared with family and friends afterwards as a high-definition digital file, serving as a lasting keepsake to pass down through generations
Keeping Loved Ones Connected When It Matters Most
Where family members may be spread across East London, across the UK, and across the world, live streaming provides a valued solution. We facilitate professional, secure webcasts through our local crematoriums, including the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium in Manor Park, the East London Cemetery in Plaistow, and Manor Park Crematorium. Technical facilities vary by location, and I’ll team will be able to facilitate options dependent on your venue choice.
Recording
A high-definition recording can also be provided as a digital file after the service, something to share securely with family members and friends.
Please speak with a member of our team if you would like to include a recording as part of your arrangements.
Charitable Giving
An online tribute page provides a dedicated, meaningful space where family and friends can celebrate a loved one’s legacy. This secure platform allows people to easily leave messages of condolence and donate to a chosen charity ensuring that relatives canl contribute and feel connected.
Memory Boxes
We offer two elegant designs for our Memory Boxes: Cherry Blossom or Forget Me Not. Each box is thoughtfully designed to help families celebrate the life and legacy of a loved one by providing a secure, special place to keep cherished mementos close at hand.
