I wanted to say how absolutely wonderful you were at organising my mum's funeral on July 2nd. We could not have gone through it all without your calm, professional and experienced support. You were amazing leading up to the day as well as at the church and crematorium. You do such a wonderful job at a time when people are preoccupied with grief and unable to think straight. Thank you so very very much.
Thank you for all the help you gave to the family at the time of their bereavement and especially on the day of her funeral. When someone dies peacefully and painlessly at the age of 97 it is not really a sad occasion, but a time to celebrate a long life well lived. Nevertheless it is a confusing and uncertain time, especially with current restrictions. So to have you guide us through all of the necessary bureaucracy and to do it with compassion and professionalism was well appreciated by all the family. We shared the flowers and it has given us a lovely taste of spring in the house, and helped to bring back lots of memories of my mother's beautiful garden.
I am writing to thank you and your team very much for arranging my Aunt's funeral last week. It is daunting when you have never had to make arrangements like this before, but you personally made it very straightforward and easy for me. The family were very pleased with the service and the way it was managed and I am very grateful to you all. I felt that it was a celebration of her life and a lovely send off for her after a long and full life. Despite the pandemic it all went smoothly without any hitches.

Today we pause to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom. The poppy, with its vibrant red petals is a powerful symbol of remembrance and resilience, inspired by the fields of Flanders where poppies grew amid the devastation of war.

We understand the importance of honouring memories and legacies. Today we stand with communities across the country in reflection and gratitude for those who gave everything in service. Let us wear our poppies proudly as a reminder of the courage and sacrifice that built the world we live in today.

Lest we forget!

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November! ~ This day marks Bonfire Night, a centuries-old tradition in the UK celebrating the foiling of the 1605 Gunpowder plot. Guy Fawkes and a group of conspirators planned to blow up the Houses of Parliament to protest oppression, but their plot was uncovered and the monarchy was saved.

Since then, 5th November has been a night of bonfires, fireworks and community gatherings symbolizing resilience and the spirit of unity. As the skies light up tonight, let’s remember the history behind this unique tradition and the lessons it teaches about strength and togetherness. Enjoy the night, stay safe and embrace the spark of history!

This #Movember we’re raising awareness for men’s health issues, including mental health, suicide prevention, prostate and testicular cancer.

Funeral Service is often a profession that takes an emotional toll, and we want to encourage our team, clients and community to prioritize their health. So, let’s check in on each other, talk openly, and get regular check-ups. Together we can change the face of men’s health.

Today we celebrate Halloween. It’s important to reflect on its origins and meaning. Traditionally, Halloween has its roots in ancient Celtic festivals, particularly Samhain, where people light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off ghosts. It was a time to honour the end of harvest and the beginning of the darker half of the year. Over time, Halloween has evolved into a celebration that blends elements of remembrance, community and fun.

While today it is often associated with costumes, candy and spooky fun, Halloween is also a time to reflect the cycle of life and death. As Funeral Directors, we understand the importance of honouring those who have passed and Halloween can serve as a gentle reminder to embrace both the joy and mystery of life, while paying respects to the memories of loved ones no longer with us.

It’s a day to celebrate life in all its stages ~ past, present and future ~ while also cherishing moments with family and friends. Stay safe and enjoy the festivities!
