Being there for someone who is grieving can be really helpful in those early days and weeks after a loss. It can also be comforting to check in on someone long after the funeral has been and visitors are less frequent. Ask them if they want to talk, share memories or need support.

So beautiful 🦜😍✨

Today we had the honour of looking after a young man James who sadly passed away after a simple asthma attack, at the age of 15.
Such a healthy young man and his parents just don’t understand why, as does everyone around them.
With over 450 paper cranes on his coffin, all folded by his immediately family, gave his coffin a beautiful feeling of love.
Rest easy young man and continue to play that guitar so beautifully where ever you are!

What a brilliant weekend as the secret Brighton Festival location for Victoria Melody’s most excellent work:

‘The Enthusiasts: Funeral Directors’

Sold out audiences got to literally peek behind the curtain and fully explore our premises while listening to a beautiful audio piece.

We were available as Enthusiasts to answer any questions!

Plenty of great conversations.
Brilliant staff, contributors, and guests.

AND even the weather was kind! ☀️
