Planning ahead shouldn’t be complicated. It should feel reassuring.

The way people think about funeral planning is changing. More families are choosing to plan ahead - expecting openness, security, and support they can trust.

We understand how important it is to offer funeral plans that reflect your needs — with flexibility, transparency, and care at the heart of everything we do.

We work in partnership with Golden Charter, one of the UK’s leading funeral plan providers**, to offer options that help you plan with confidence and peace of mind.

If you’d like to discuss making arrangements in advance, for you or your family, speak to our team or visit our website 👇

Grief doesn't stop when the working day starts.

Attitudes to bereavement in the workplace are changing. And we welcome that.

Recent proposals to extend bereavement leave reflect something we've always believed; people need time, space and understanding to grieve properly.

Every loss is different, and no one should feel rushed back to routine before they're ready.

We support efforts to make bereavement support more compassionate and more accessible, because how we care, especially at work, really matters 💛

We were really looking forward to Whitchurch Fayre, but the weather had other plans 🌧️

While we missed the chance to catch up with our lovely community, our charity raffle is still very much on, raising funds for Believe Organ Donor Support and their beautiful Memorial Garden 🌳

We’ll leave it to Blossom Bear to show off the prize: a seriously special hamper packed with top-quality treats. Think champagne, artisan biscuits, luxury preserves, gourmet pasta, nuts, nibbles and more. There’s something for everyone, and every bite feels like a little indulgence 🍾🍪🫒

Tickets are just £2, and every penny goes to a cause that means so much to us and to families across our community.

If you’d like to be in with a chance to win, just pop into one of our funeral homes or drop the team a message 👇

Hurry though, in this heat, Blossom’s just about ready to pop that champagne... 🐻🍾☀️

The Bristol Grief Centre is a pioneering project exploring how we experience grief, how it’s supported, and how society can respond with greater empathy.

Their work challenges the idea that grief follows a simple timeline or set path. Through research, collaboration and creative projects, they aim to change how we talk about grief and make space for it in everyday life.

We absolutely support this kind of thinking. Grieving is human, and every story deserves to be understood on its own terms.

While we don't have an exact equivalent here in South Wales, we are encouraged by the Welsh Government’s recent commitment of £3 million in additional funding for bereavement support. And national charities like Cruse Bereavement Support continue to have a strong presence in our area, offering free support through trained volunteers - whether face-to-face, by phone or online 💛

We had Paul visit us today from Dementia Friends Cardiff to re-pledge our commitment to being a Dementia Friendly Business.

We started our jounreturned in 2022 with Cardiff Council and Cardiff & Vale University Health Board, who are working together to make Cardiff a Dementia Friendly city. The movement encourages and supports organisations, local businesses and community groups to become more dementia friendly and provide better support for people living with dementia and their families.

Coles are proud to be a dementia friendly business and we would encourage other organisations and businesses to take the pledge. To find out more, follow the link: 👇👇👇

Our team had a fantastic time at the ‘Coles Away Day and Award Evening’ last Saturday at the New House Hotel Cardiff.

We started with a lovely afternoon tea on the terrace in the sun, followed by a presentation from Gareth on the next steps for Coles, a team building exercise which was very …. Interesting 🤔 🤣, awards ceremony celebrating our amazing talent, dinner and of course drinks. 🥂🍾🤪

A big shout out to our whole team.. who really are at the core of everything that makes Coles so special. 🥰 The dedication, compassion and sensitivity they show to families everyday, at a time when they need it most, is unwavering.

A special shout out to all of our award winners… well done! 🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Trigger warning - this post contains references to child and baby loss. Please take care as you read, and return to it at a time that feels right for you.

Grief after the loss of a child, no matter their age, is lifelong.

And while it’s a subject many still struggle to talk about, National Bereaved Parents Day encourages open, honest conversations about an experience that changes everything.

We support the shift towards greater understanding and openness around this kind of grief.

That’s why we partner with bereavement charities 2wish Cymru and Morgan’s Wings - Miscarriage Support. Both are dedicated to helping parents feel seen, heard and supported 💛

Come say hello Saturday 5th July at Whitchurch Fayre 🐻

Blossom Bear and the team will be there with a bumper raffle to raise funds for Believe Organ Donor Support and their beautiful Memorial Garden 🌿

We recently met with Anna Louise Bates , Believe’s inspiring founder, and were truly moved by her energy and vision for the garden; a place for remembrance, healing and education around the gift of organ donation.

Tickets are just £1, with every penny helping bring this special space to life and supporting families through love, loss and legacy.

We’d love to see you there 👋

And if you're a local business and would like to support the project too, visit https://pulse.ly/ljjtuokss6 or get in touch with Anna-Louise and her team to find out more 💛

Many men find it hard to talk about their emotions, especially grief. And when it comes to discussing their own funeral wishes? That silence often continues.

According to YouGov, just 42% of men in the UK say they’ve thought about their own funeral arrangements, compared to 55% of women. It’s understandable. These conversations are difficult. But not having them can leave families unsure, overwhelmed, and carrying both emotional and financial stress.

Planning ahead is one way to ease that burden. A funeral plan doesn't just cover costs, it’s a way to say: “This is what matters to me. And I want to make things easier for you.”

When you're ready, our team is here to guide you, explaining your options and supporting your decisions.

Last week, our team had the pleasure of spending time with the wonderful members of Eglwys Newydd WI at Whitchurch Methodist Church Hall, thanks to a kind invite from Terri Williams.

Claire and Angela chatted with the group about funeral planning, from making arrangements in advance to understanding what to do when the time comes. There was also time for questions and space to listen to personal stories shared by the members.

A heartfelt thank you to President Marlene Davis, Secretary Lorraine Hughes, and the full committee, Jocelyn, Carolyn, Terri and Gaynor. You made us feel so welcome.

We always value the chance to connect with local groups and have open conversations about bereavement, grief and funeral planning. If your organisation would be interested in a visit like this, please get in touch 💛
