Flypast at a funeral

My apologies if posting in this forum is the wrong place, but it seemed like a good place to start.

A friend of a friend has been given the unenviable task of arranging a funeral for someone he used to know well. Someone has asked whether it would be at all possible to arrange a Spitfire or Hurricane to fly past shortly after the service to be held in Dorset.
Money is available to pay for this. Does anyone know whether this can be done, and if so which people or organisations might be able to arrange this ?
