These beautiful bears have been hand made in Bury St Edmunds for a client from clothing or material sentimental to their loved one.

This Remembrance Day, 2025, we pause and reflect the service and sacrifice of those who defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

At 11 am we hold a moment of silence — a quiet, shared act of gratitude and remembrance.

Let us walk gently through our daily lives, aware of the freedoms so many fought to secure.

Together, in towns and cities across the UK, we stand united in respect and gratitude.
Lest we forget.

We wanted to share these beautiful flowers we recently had on a funeral service.

The panoramic roof of our lovely Mercedes hearse highlights perfectly the floral tributes for our families.

A little throw back to when Bob Bob the office dog joined the team. As you can see, he still works very hard for Armstrong’s!
