Something to Hold On To 🕊️
�One small but meaningful way to personalise a funeral or celebration of life is through takeaway keepsakes – little tokens guests can take home and treasure.

It might be a bookmark with a favourite quote, a printed photo, or even a recipe card featuring a dish your loved one was known for. Some families choose to share a saying they always used, printed on a small card as a quiet reminder of their presence.

Another beautiful idea is gifting flower seeds – especially of their favourite blooms. A simple, heartfelt way for guests to plant something special and watch it grow year after year, keeping their memory alive.

These keepsakes are simple gestures, but they hold deep meaning – offering comfort, connection, and a lasting memory of the person you came together to honour

This stunning wicker coffin, adorned with soft pink lilies, roses and fresh greenery, made for a peaceful and personal farewell.

Eco-friendly and beautifully handcrafted, wicker coffins offer a gentle alternative to traditional styles — perfect for those who loved nature or simply wanted something a little different.

The flowers added the final touch: delicate, fresh, and full of meaning. A fitting tribute for a life cherished and remembered with love.

A Sparkle Like No Other ✨💖
We recently arranged a service featuring this beautiful pink glitter coffin — a truly personal choice that reflected a vibrant, unforgettable personality.

Made from eco-friendly cardboard and finished with a touch of sparkle, it was a fitting tribute for someone who brought light, colour, and joy to everyone around them.

Funerals don’t have to be traditional to be meaningful. Whether quiet and simple or bold and bright, we’re here to help create a farewell that feels just right for you.

A Powerful Farewell, Marked by Bagpipes 🎵🕊️
There’s something deeply moving about the sound of bagpipes at a funeral — a sound that speaks of tradition, pride, and emotion.

Whether it’s a lone piper leading the procession or a favourite tune played as a final goodbye, bagpipes have a way of expressing what words often cannot.

They bring strength, sorrow, and beauty all at once — a fitting tribute for a life well lived and deeply loved.

☀️ Looking After Yourself This Summer
The sunshine is here – and while life may still feel heavy at times, we gently encourage you to take a moment for yourself.

A short walk, a quiet sit in the garden, or just feeling the sun on your face can lift your spirits more than you think. Grief and everyday worries don’t disappear with the weather, but a little warmth and fresh air can be a quiet comfort.

Be kind to yourself. Rest when you need to. And if the sunshine calls, let yourself enjoy it – even just for a while.

Meet our resident comfort team, Rosie and Roxy — hard at work providing emotional support (and the occasional cuddle) here at Hadaway & Denton.

They’ve had a busy morning… of snoozing on the sofa, supervising from their favourite spot! Sometimes the smallest companions bring the biggest comfort. 💛

It’s not always an easy conversation… but it’s one of the most important.
Talking about funeral wishes can feel uncomfortable — even a little daunting — but having that conversation now can bring real peace of mind later.

Knowing what your loved one would have wanted, or making your own wishes known, can take away uncertainty during a difficult time. It can also help ensure the funeral truly reflects the life, values, and personality of the person it honours.

Whether it’s a favourite song, a choice between burial or cremation, or something as simple as “no fuss” — sharing these thoughts can make all the difference.

We’re here if you’d like to talk things through, or find out more about pre-planning options.

Why choose an independent funeral director?�
At Hadaway & Denton, we believe that when it comes to saying goodbye, personal care makes all the difference. As an independent, family-run funeral directors in Ashford, we’re not part of a large chain. That means we can take the time to really listen, understand your wishes, and tailor everything to suit your family – with dignity, compassion, and flexibility.

From your very first call, you’ll speak directly to either Joanna or Carl. We’re here to support you every step of the way – not just with experience and professionalism, but with warmth and genuine care. You’ll also meet Carl’s parents, who play an important part in our day-to-day support behind the scenes (alongside Rosie and Roxy, our little dachshunds, who bring their own special comfort too).

We’re proud to be part of this community, offering personal, reliable and affordable service – with transparency, creativity, and a deep respect for every life we help to honour.

Made some time to say hello to the horses, before leaving Charing Crematorium this morning. 🥰

Cheers to the little moments 🍷☀️
Running a funeral home might not sound like the kind of job that makes you appreciate a glass of wine in the sunshine — but it absolutely does.

Our work reminds us every day how important it is to make time for the people you love, laugh when you can, and enjoy the good moments (preferably with a nice drink in hand!).

A rare evening off for Jo and Carl — and a little reminder that life’s simple pleasures are always worth celebrating.
