Something to brighten your Sunday. Some of you may not know that Odette has another daughter (Tom’s twin) who escaped the funeral world for a life down under. Just over two years and Louise is working and living the dream on a Cattle Station in the Northern Territory with her partner Val and that’s not all, she’s been bargaining with the Aborigines and rescuing the odd animal or two. A little while ago the Aborigines caught and killed a kangaroo to eat, they found that it was carrying a little joey. Louise managed to secure the little one for $150, aborigines, you see, are not kind or compassionate to the furries of this world and Louise and Val have taken kittens and dogs from these people as well. Louise and Val are currently getting little joey rehabilitated and they are in contact with a chap called Brulga who has a sanctuary in Alice Springs and you can catch up with Brulga on iPlayer called Kangaroo Dundee. Little joey will make the journey over to Alice Springs for further care at some point. Heartbreak may be on the horizon but it will make way for other youngsters to come into Louise and Val’s care. Louise isn’t really too far removed from the family business after all, just giving care and love in another way. Looking forward to your next save ladies, keep up the good work!

As part of our membership with the National Association of Funeral Directors, we have inspectors that pop in unannounced. Very pleased to say that we passed with flying colours.
Best practices and client care at the heart of what we do.

Today marks the beginning of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

This is a dedicated time for the community to come together to remember the precious lives of all babies gone too soon. It is also an opportunity to raise awareness of the impacts of baby loss and campaign for better bereavement support for all affected families.

To every parent, grandparent, sibling, and family member touched by this heartbreak: we see you, we remember with you, and you are absolutely not alone. ❤️

This week, and always, our support services are here to provide a safe, non-judgemental space. If you feel as though you need support, guidance, or simply a reminder that your feelings are valid, please don't hesitate to reach out.

So excited to be involved in this and to give something back to our community ♥️

🌟 Coming Soon: Letters to Heaven Post Box 💌

📍 The Letterbox will be located at Curzon Street Cemetery. Installation details will be shared soon.
🛠️ Huge thanks to everyone involved.
❤️ A particular mention goes to a local resident who brought the idea forward. Your compassion and creativity is helping shape a truly special space for Calne.
