We offer every family the option of creating a tribute page through Much Loved, a gentle online space where funeral details can be shared and where family and friends may come together to leave messages, light virtual candles and make donations in memory of their loved one, to a charity of their choice.

This year, our families have raised an incredible £22,190, which has been shared among a wide range of charities, creating a lasting and meaningful legacy.

From all of us at Country Funerals (including the four-legged members), we wish you a Merry Christmas. 🎄✨

Thinking of those we miss especially today, at Christmas.

Yesterday, a much-loved family friend had her wish fulfilled, thanks to Sonny Hillier Horse Drawn Carriages and his beautiful horses - Joker and Leo.

Although the rain and wind stayed with us on her final journey to the Crematorium, her service closed with “Singing in the Rain” — a gentle reminder that she wouldn’t have minded at all.

The flowers, lovingly provided by Hannas Bloom Room, were truly beautiful, with even a lead delicately wired with flowers. Nothing was too much, and every tribute felt thoughtfully and uniquely created. A lifelong poodle breeder and devoted lover of the breed, it felt only right that a poodle made a special appearance.

Tomorrow we care for a much-loved family friend.

As people leave the service, there will be her favourite Jaffa Cakes — and Bonios for any four-legged friends.

At Country Funerals, we pride ourselves on doing that little bit extra… even if that means tying bows on Bonios 💙

Wearing a different hat this foggy Saturday morning—swapping the office for the sidelines as I head to Margate to cheer on my son and Country Funerals Strikeforce U7 Lightning boys. ⚡️💙

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”

At Westerleigh Group’s memorial gardens, the iconic white “Letters to Loved Ones” post-boxes let people drop cards and notes to their lost loved ones — a gentle way to stay connected, anytime.

The idea first came from a young girl, Matilda Handy, who wanted to send birthday and Christmas cards to her grandparents after they’d passed away. Her mum, a memorial advisor at Gedling Crematorium (also part of the Westerleigh Group), helped install the first white post box in December 2022.

This beautiful book, now here at Country Funerals, reminds us how important it is to write to the ones we love. It shares the heartfelt story of young Matilda’s wish to send letters to her grandparents after they passed — a simple, powerful reminder that love continues in the words we share.

A beautiful handwritten thank-you card arrived in our letterbox today from the Pilgrims Hospices.

Our tribute pages created for families have raised an amazing £5,152.01 in support of Pilgrims Hospices — a charity that provides compassionate end-of-life care and support to people across east Kent, helping patients live well in every moment, whether in one of their hospices or at home.

As we approach the festive season, Pilgrims Hospices are inviting families and friends to come together for their annual Trees of Love remembrance services. These special gatherings offer a beautiful way to celebrate and remember loved ones by dedicating a dove on one of their illuminated trees, shining brightly across Kent throughout December.

💙 Every donation and dedication helps Pilgrims continue to provide vital care, comfort, and support to local people when they need it most.
