We understand that the Christmas season can be especially difficult when you are missing someone you love.

Our Memorial Tree is now in place in the reception areas of our Longford and Bedworth offices.

We warmly invite all families and friends to visit and place a card or message on the tree in loving memory of someone special.

If you are unable to visit in person, simply share your message with us and we will lovingly place it on the tree on your behalf, in honour of your loved one.

This tradition offers a beautiful and heartfelt way to honour those who are missed during Christmas.

If you wish to make a small, optional contribution, we have chosen
Myton Hospice as our beneficiary this year, helping them provide support where it is needed most.

This week, we had the honour of conducting the funeral of a much-loved member of the Bedworth community, Bing Twigger, who sadly passed away on 3rd November 2025.

Bing was born at Alties Pub, in Bedworth and from the very beginning his roots in the town ran deep. The youngest of eight, he was a cherished member of a large and well-known Bedworth family. Having lived in the area his entire life, Bing became a familiar and warmly regarded figure in our community. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him, whether through his years delivering coal, his work at Newdigate Colliery, or his time at the bookies.

The service included several heartfelt personal touches, among them a beautiful dog-shaped floral tribute thanks to Hubbard's Florist, which chosen to reflect Bing’s beloved Millie.
It was a privilege for our team at J E Hackett and Sons to support the family in creating a service that truly honoured his life and his lifelong connection to our town. We extend our deepest sympathies to all who loved him during this difficult time.

We are still reflecting on the truly special atmosphere in Bedworth yesterday, November 11th.

The annual Armistice Day Parade through our town was, as always, a deeply moving and significant occasion. It was heartening to see so many residents, families, and organisations come together in solemn respect to honour the memory of those who served and sacrificed.

Moments like these highlight the strong community spirit and shared history that make Bedworth so special. We were proud to be part of such a meaningful commemoration.

We remember them.
