It is with deep sadness that the family of Joyce Smith announces her passing on 11th November, 2025. In this difficult time, they have created a tribute page to honour her memory. On this page, you can find details about the upcoming funeral service, share your heartfelt messages of condolence for the family, or, if you feel moved to do so, make an online donation to MND Association or RSPCA (England & Wales) in Joyce’s memory.

On behalf of the family and myself, we would like to offer our deepest thanks to Anthony, Tam, and the entire team for their incredible support and dedication shown to Simon.
​The compassion and kindness they demonstrated were such a comfort and truly helped us all through the most difficult time we have ever faced.
​Their service, from the first phone call through to the funeral, was both professional and personally perfect. The personal touches, kind words, and knowing Simon was in their exceptional care during his final journey allowed us to give him a beautiful celebration of his life.
​We are so grateful. Thank you.
