Arranging a Funeral
Making funeral arrangements with help from qualified professionals
Welcome to J Lawrence & Sons. For more than 150 years now, we have been offering tailored services to customers in the Hampshire area. Arranging a funeral can seem like a daunting process and, without help from experts, it often can be.
J Lawrence & Sons is wholly owned and managed by John and Chris Lawrence who will work together and ensure an easy process during what is obviously a very difficult time for any family. Saying goodbye in the right way is incredibly important, so we are very flexible when it comes to our tailored funeral services.
When you feel ready to begin discussing the process for arranging a funeral, reach out to us. An initial consultation is offered at whichever location is convenient to you – our offices or your premises.
The first choices to make before arranging a funeral
An initial decision needs to be made regarding whether the most appropriate option would be a burial or a cremation. Religious beliefs may have a bearing on the choice that is made, so we are ready to facilitate either request when arranging a funeral.
The service can be held in a church beforehand. In case a church service is considered to be inappropriate, the speakers – whether religious or non-religious – can also attend the chapels at the cemetery or the crematorium.
Where appropriate, hymns can be sung or, if preferred, recorded music can be played upon request instead. The list of available music can be browsed online and is provided to J Lawrence & Sons by Obitus.
Next steps when making the funeral arrangements
Here at J Lawrence & Sons, we can arrange flowers for you if that’s part of your requested funeral plans. In case you would prefer to use your own florist, we ask that the arrangement is delivered at least two hours before the funeral service is scheduled to begin.
When it comes to transportation, we have our 2024 Mercedes Benz Hearse and Limousine as well as our Jaguar hearse and limousine available. Our bespoke funeral arrangements can also include a horse drawn hearse if requested.
Of course, clients are welcome to use their own vehicles instead. The limousine can seat up to seven people and additional cars can be hired upon request. The hearse can be met at the venue or you can follow it there – whichever is more convenient.
Coffins
At J Lawrence & Sons, we have a comprehensive range of coffins available. This includes many traditional style solid wood units and veneered coffins to more modern designs, including but not limited to the following options:
- Colourful Coffins
- Daisy Coffins
- Natural Woven Coffins

- And Many Others!
