Quick.
Quiet.
No ceremony.
No goodbye.

Just... done.

But what's really being sold here?

Because death isn't tidy.
It's messy.
It's painful.
It's human.

Funeral aren't about fuss.
They're how we begin to make sense of death.
They hold space for love that doesn't know where to go.

We hear it all the time:
"We just want something simple."

And that's okay.

But simple doesn't mean silent.

It doesn't mean skipping the goodbye.
It doesn't mean pretending this doesn't hurt – because it does.

The funeral doesn't cause the pain.
The death does.

The funeral is where that pain get held.
Witnessed. Honoured.

No hymns? Fine.
No suits? Fine.
Pub, garden, front room – all good.

Make it yours.

We're not against direct cremation.
But it should be a choice – not a shortcut.
Not something sold as "easier".

Skip the spectacle, if you want.
But don't skip the meaning.

Love deserves more than a transaction.
It deserves a moment.
It deserves... even a little fuss.

You will be found. 🫂💜

Next week, during Dear Evan Hansen at the Aylesbury Waterside Theatre, something special will be hidden among the seats and stairways…

Our Knit & Natter group have been busy creating Never Alone Buddies, hand-knitted dolls inspired by the Izzy Dolls, each carrying a small message of comfort and a QR code that links to support through never-alone.co.uk.

Just like the story of Dear Evan Hansen, these Buddies are about reaching the people who feel invisible, who might be struggling silently, and reminding them: you are not alone.
