    Announcements


    If you would like to place a newspaper announcement, we can guide you and organise the placing of the announcement on your behalf.  It can be very difficult to find the right words to say  and in order to assist you please find below an example of a typical announcement. We do recommend that you don't include in your announcement details of the venue for any refreshments to follow, instead families often provide these details in an order of service or via an announcement at the service.​

    Religious and Humanist Services

    Each family have their own idea of how they would like to celebrate the life of their loved one.  We can provide you with a wide range of choice for the type of service you would like and arrange for a professional minister or celebrant to conduct the funeral service for you should you wish so.  We can provide you with Ministers of Religion from all denominations including Church of England, Roman Catholic, Methodist, United Reformed and many others. 


    In addition if you require a non religious service we have a number of Celebrants who can provide this service for you and your family.   If you do not wish to hold a formal service we will help you arrange and conduct a respectful and meaningful farewell to your loved one.

    H Kemp and Son, Funeral Directors, Cottingham Funeral Flowers and Donations to Charities

    Funeral Flowers and Donations to Charities

    For some families flowers are a very important part of saying good bye to their  loved one, however they are not an essential requirement and some families choose not to have floral tributes at all.   There are many different shapes and sizes of arrangements available to accommodate all tastes and we can guide you through the process of deciding the most appropriate type of arrangement for your family. 


    In order to assist you in this we have an account with  the florist based in Cottingham Village centre and are happy to liaise with them on your behalf.  Alternatively, if you prefer you can make your own arrangements with your favourite florist who will deliver your flowers to our premises prior to the funeral service.


    Many families choose to ask for donations to their favourite charity in lieu of flowers.  Details of this can be included in any newspaper announcement and collection boxes can be placed at the place of worship.

    Ascension Flights is a premier space scattering service. Created by the world's leading Near Space flight experts, their flight system carries the ashes to the edge of space and scatters them in a gentle cascade using a unique, purpose-designed scattering device.  Carried around the world by stratospheric winds, they will circle through the heavens before finally returning to Earth in rainfall and snowflakes.  The ascent and moment of release can even be captured on video and made into a beautiful memorial film for you to treasure and share.
