Ways to Help Children Who Are Grieving
Supporting a child through grief can feel daunting — every child copes in their own way, and there’s no single right approach. What matters most is patience, honesty, and reassurance. Here are a few ways to help:

Talk openly – Use clear, simple language and answer questions honestly.
Listen carefully – Let them express feelings in their own time and way.
Encourage creativity – Drawing, writing, or creating something in memory can help them process emotions.
Keep routines – Familiar structure helps children feel safe and secure.
Share memories – Talking about happy times keeps their loved one’s memory alive.

There is support out there to help. Take a look at our website for more information — and remember, you don’t have to face things alone.

If you need advice or someone to talk to, we’re here to help.

💛 Ways to Support Someone Who Is Grieving
When someone we care about is grieving, it can be hard to know what to say or do. But often, it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most. Here are a few gentle ways to offer support:

Be there to listen – You don’t need the perfect words; just being present can bring comfort.
Say their loved one’s name – It shows you remember and helps keep their memory alive.
Offer practical help – Cooking a meal, running an errand, or simply sitting together can make a real difference.
Stay in touch – Grief doesn’t end after the funeral. Continue to check in, even months later.

If you or someone you know needs advice or support, you’ll find useful information on our website:

You’re not alone — there is always help available. 💛

Remembrance Day is a time to pause, reflect, and give thanks.
Across Ashford and beyond, people come together today to honour all who served — and those who continue to serve — with courage, dignity, and selflessness.

As we wear our poppies and observe the silence, we remember not only the fallen but also the families who endured loss and the generations who keep their memories alive.

May we continue to cherish the peace they fought for, and never forget the cost of our freedom.

🌹 Remembrance Sunday
Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to others.

At Hadaway & Denton, we join our community in honouring those who made the ultimate sacrifice — and the families who still carry their memory with pride and love.

As we observe the two minutes’ silence, we reflect on the courage, compassion, and unity that continue to inspire us all.

“At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”

Supporting Those Who Served
When you take out a prepaid funeral plan with Golden Charter, £25 will be donated to the Royal British Legion — helping to support serving and veteran members of the Armed Forces and their families.

It’s a meaningful way to plan ahead with peace of mind, while also giving something back to those who’ve given so much.

As a family-run, independent funeral director, we’re proud to work with Golden Charter, offering trusted financial protection and the reassurance that your wishes will be respected when the time comes.

With funeral standards in the news this week, we wanted to provide reassurance about our services.

Our staff and premises adhere to national trade association SAIF's code of practice on standards. This means we will always care for families and their loved ones with the utmost respect and professionalism. Processes within our mortuary and ashes storage are all fully documented to provide a robust audit trail.

Additionally, we are assessed and approved by SAIF inspectors, and hold regular open days to show the public how our premises operate. These events include sensitive tours of our storage areas to show how we meet our code of practice requirements.
