Today I am celebrating conducting my 500th service as a funeral celebrant! What an honour!
This week has been typified by 3 very different family meetings, 3 very different services... burials and cremation, old and young, all an honour.
It is a privilege to be part of the last meaningful thing that you can do for a loved one.
Thank you to the families I work with for entrusting me with this role.
Thank you to the funeral directors who put their faith in me and to the funeral staff I work with at crematoria and burial grounds who I work with on a daily basis.

Direct cremation continues to make the news, and we understand why, it is cost effective and simple. But, there are many reasons why you must carefully consider the company who will care for your loved one.

At The Natural Burial Company we will ensure you receive personal service from our team. You will be able to visit your loved one in the Chapel of Rest if you wish. We will plant 3 trees to mitigate the environmental impact of cremation. And, most importantly, we will hold an Interment service or Celebration of Life at the natural burial ground so that you can say goodbye properly, in your own personal way.

The cost of all of the above is under £2,000. So you can have all of the advantages of a Direct Cremation whilst having personal service, caring for the environment, and saying goodbye in the way you wish, with family and friends.

We also offer Direct and Simple Natural Burial Services.

I love New Year's Day.. a fresh start and the whole of the year ahead of me.
2026 will inevitably have its ups and downs, but a walk on the beach and a fabulous sunset was the perfect start to 2026!
Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy new year!

Our natural burial grounds are open to visitors throughout the Christmas and New Year period. Our team are also available by phone and email at all times.

May we wish everyone a peaceful Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.

When things are good, I find joy in the changing seasons and our beautiful countryside. When things are tough, the trees, the light, the water, lift my spirits.
So lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the country!

Today I conducted two funeral services... a cremation for a wonderful woman at Loughborough Crematorium and a burial for a fabulous lady at The Natural Burial Company burial ground at Prestwold. This was preceded by a full service at Prestwold Hall.
There are many different ways to say goodbye!
Make it personal, make it special!

Up and down the country, our sites have been carefully prepared to offer a fitting tribute to those who have fallen in conflict. 🌺

This Sunday, as people pause to reflect, we too remember the extraordinary bravery and sacrifice of so many - those who gave everything so that others could live in peace.

We will remember them.
🌹 Lest we forget.

This Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, we honour and remember all those who have served, sacrificed, and lost their lives in service. 🌹

As we come together this weekend and on Tuesday, let us pause, reflect, and show our gratitude to those who fought.

The clocks have gone back and I for one, am not a fan of dark evenings!
But this morning, it is beautiful and we've been planting 80 daffodil bulbs to bring back the sunshine in the spring.
