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.

Cannot recommend them highly enough. Very supportive and everything was done with such care and thoughtfulness. Claire at Sheffield North couldn't be more helpful. Everything has been very straightforward at what is a very difficult time, one less thing to worry about

I chose Peace funerals as it’s a local business, I don’t think I could have chosen a better company. James and his fabulous team were outstanding, they couldn’t have done a better job, nothing was too much trouble, a first class service from a first class company, I’d like to think they’ll still be ...

Peace funeral directors are compassionate, caring and always there to answer any questions. James is a lovely caring person and I don't think I could have done it without him, I will be forever grateful.
