Great news that grief education will now be included in the new statutory guidance on Relationships, Health and S*x Education in schools. This is a positive step which has been championed over several years by many in the sector, including the Childhood Bereavement Network, Child Bereavement UK, Winston’s Wish, and our Funeral Industry Advisor John Adams.

Grief education will help ensure that children will learn about change and loss, including bereavement, and how it can provoke a range of feelings. We hope this will help schools to support children and young people to talk openly about grief and bereavement, helping them to better cope with their own bereavements and support others with compassion.

GARRY GETS IT.

We know that sometimes, men need something different.

Not counselling. Not advice.
Just space. Just someone real.

That’s why we’ve created 'Garry Gets It' - a quiet moment in a noisy world.

Today, 17th July 2025, Garry Ward has joined the Perry & Phillips family to help with donation administration. But while he’s here, we’re offering something more. A space for young men to come and put the world to rights. To speak, to swear, to sit in silence, to just be, without judgment.

You can trust Garry 100%.
He’s been a prison officer, a midwife, a Vicar at Claverley & Tuckhill for 14 years, and even helped out in the local pub. He’s imperfect, honest, and here to help.

This is not a counselling service, but we’re proud to also offer continued support through our trained counsellor, Brown, for those who want it.

Men need help.
And Garry gets it.

Congratulations to Oliver Winborn, Rubie Barker, Chloe Slater and Alfie Rose, for completing their work experience with Perry & Phillips.

They have had a fascinating and varied week, from attending funerals, to helping make coffins. Also, a big thank you to Kelly and all the team at Telford Crematorium for providing them a full tour of your special facility.

Their families and the Bridgnorth Endowed School should be immensely proud of the people they are and are becoming.
