JC Atkinson, the leading independent manufacturer of coffins, caskets and urns, has launched a new catalogue for its growing Forever Urns range. The printed catalogue now has simple visual icons to easily identify at a glance which products are suitable for the home, interment or burial, scattering, the garden, water burial, keepsakes and urns. The brochure also includes for the first time three innovative products that are proving very popular with families, shown below;
Each Canadian Stone Urn is a unique work of art, combining the latest technological materials with old world craftsmanship. Every urn is made from real stone and finished entirely by hand. The urns contain up to three litres and are available in a variety of styles including as a candle urn and a photo frame. The keepsakes can contain 0.3 litres and are also available in a variety of styles.
This unique range of personalised jewellery offers understated elegance and classic charm in the form of the imprint of a loved one’s fingerprint, hand or footprint. Available in a range of styles from pendants, to cluster charms, bracelets and heritage vessels, an engraving service accompanies this range for those wanting to add a word, name or message to their piece.
A really special addition to the range and a new way of scattering ashes, the ToLad, which stands for the Totem Of Life And Death, enables friends and family to go for a stroll with the ashes stored in a scatter tube that acts as a walking stick dispensing ashes as it depresses on the ground.
One customer, Gea, shares her story of using the Tolad to scatter her mother’s ashes: “Saying farewell during a walk with the ToLad is a wonderful ritual. A worthy and respectful way to make a final journey. But it is also ‘informal’. My boys of 7 and 10 took the ToLad to school to show and tell everyone about their very special walk.”
As a Funeral Directors who strives to offer the very best quality products available, we chose to use Atkinson’s Reflections range when it comes to picture coffins. Incorporating personal memories of the deceased that Jamie and the Reflections team have designed specifically for that individual family.
- Daniel from D.B.DevallsJust to let you know how elegant the Walnut Tree Oval coffin looked this morning - it caught everyone's eye, plenty of comments and none of the pallbearers had seen one like it. It really did look smart. The book for the name details is beautiful, really impressive.
- White Rose Modern FuneralsJust want to say a massive thank you to you & your team for this coffin, we along with the Humanist celebrant, crematorium staff, family and friends thought it was absolutely brilliant, on route to the crematorium there were people on the street taking photos of the coffin and EVERYONE had a big stupid smile on their faces.
- McKenzie and Millar - FuneralcareEveryone commented on how unusual the coffin was. Usually people are too scared to go up to the coffin at a funeral, but everyone went up to see and spent time looking at the photos that were displayed on the coffin. It made is so much easier to be close to dad
- Diane (on behalf of Poetic Endings Funeral Directors)Mum loved the outdoors and nature. She was very environmentally conscious. When we looked at your Eco friendly coffins we knew we’d be able to find something perfect for mum. It made such a sad time a little easier as we know she would have loved it.
- Mr & Mrs SingletonI loved the design on the picture coffin, it really captured my mother’s hobbies. She loved bowls, and to have the bowling green on was a wonderful way to say goodbye.
- Janice DohertyWe wanted to say goodbye to our sister Helen, but in something that was more than just ‘a box’. The different choices that were available in all styles was fascinating. We chose a beautiful American-style Casket and also got a separate keepsake in her memory.
