For the Fallen
They shall not grow 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.
With poppies red and silence deep,
We bow our heads, we pause, we weep.
For those who marched through fire and fear,
Their courage echoes year by year.
The bugle calls, the flags are flown,
In quiet hearts their names are known.
From Flanders fields to desert skies,
Their legacy forever lies.
So let us live with grateful grace,
And hold their memory in this place.
For peace they fought, for peace they fell—
We honour them, and wish them well

A Final Journey Fit for a Legend 🚗💛

We recently had the great honour of looking after Bob, a truly lovely gentleman whose passions in life were cars, mechanics, and the classic humour of Only Fools and Horses. His wife arranged a surprise that none of the 300 mourners saw coming — as Bob made his final journey in a specially themed Only Fools and Horses hearse and van.
Gasps, smiles, and tears filled the air as the iconic yellow van pulled up, a perfect tribute to a man who lived life with character, laughter, and love.
It was a privilege to help celebrate Bob’s life in a way that reflected who he truly was. 💛

On 16th June 2025, Tamsin, Lisa and Charlotte had the privilege of meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the Peggy Dodd Centre to present a £250 cheque in support of the incredible work they do. The donation was made toward the charity that Ricky passionately supports, and it was heart-warming to see how much it meant to him and the organization.

Ricky, the CEO, was especially pleased to hear that we had chosen to donate to Peggy Dodd. He appreciated that our decision was based on the positive feedback we’ve received from families they’ve supported—many of whom we’ve had the honour of assisting with funeral services. Hearing how much the centre has meant to those families made it clear to us that this was a cause worth supporting.

Peggy Dodd has established itself as a vital local charity, supporting up to 60 people a day in Bath and reaching individuals as far as Midsomer Norton and Keynsham. Their services are a lifeline for many living with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other forms of memory loss, and their impact is felt across the wider community.

During our visit, Ricky expressed his sincere gratitude, noting that the contribution would be a great help to the charity’s ongoing efforts. He also shared news that they are recently renovating the garden at the centre—a peaceful and therapeutic space designed to support the well-being of their clients. We hope to meet with the team at Bath's Peggy Dodd soon and join them for a cuppa.
