Central Co-op launches memorialisation gift range website

Central Co-op is proud to announce the launch of its new website shop, now available for the purchase of a range of memorialisation gifts - making it the first funeral business to offer a fully transactional online platform for such products. In collaboration with The Lovely Gift Group, this initiative brings an extensive collection of thoughtful and personal keepsakes, helping families to cherish the memories of their loved ones in meaningful ways.

The range includes personalised Christmas memorials such as baubles, garden and graveside tributes, memorial gifts for children, condolence offerings, and even pet memorials. Many items can be customised with names and photos, offering a truly bespoke experience for those looking to honour and remember their loved ones.

Lee Bevan, Head of Funeral at Central Co-op, commented: "While you’ll never forget them, we have some lovely ways to remember that special person. Losing someone dear to us can be a profound experience, and Christmas can often feel a little harder after someone we love has died. This collection of keepsakes helps keep their memory close in a way that feels right for each individual, so it only felt right to launch this website during the festive period.”

Helen Davies, Founder of The Lovely Gift Group said: “We have been working with Central Co-op, developing different ways to bring thoughtful memorial gift ideas to the families they care for, since 2021. We are thrilled to now launch this standalone website that will enable families to find beautiful and innovative ways to remember loved ones in the comfort of their own home through a company they trust.”

The partnership represents a significant milestone in the funeral industry, creating a seamless online shopping experience for customers who wish to memorialise their loved ones with high-quality, personalised gifts.

You can shop the memorialisation collection now at memorialisationgifts.co.uk/. For further details on Central Co-op’s funeral initiatives, head to centralcoop.co.uk/funeralcare/ or search for Central Co-op on socials. Details on becoming a Member can be found at Members.coop.
