❓ Are you aware of the different types of hearses that are available to carry you on your final journey?

They don't have to be traditional, what about a camper van, a horse drawn hearse, a flat bed lorry or a Defender hearse?

Here's the motorcycle hearse and picture coffin that our Karen's Dad chose...it was a true honour to make those wishes a reality.

Those elements were such a powerful way to pay tribute to him...we even got 60 mph out of the motorcycle hearse, just as he had asked!!! 💨

Thinking about yesterday's thoughts of natural burial grounds; most coffins for such services are made of willow or similar natural materials, sea grass and banana leaf to mention just a couple.

We have a beautiful Victorian Bier which we use to appropriately transfer loved ones to these types of burials grounds.
We are proud to use the bier locally in All Saints Church Allesley, Allesley Natural Burial Ground 🕊🍂🍃

Today, our community comes together to celebrate a proud moment — Coventry City’s incredible achievement and the “We Are Back” bus parade.

As the city fills with joy, colour, and memories, we pause to also reflect on those who are no longer with us. We remember the many loved ones we have had the privilege to care for — and those we are caring for — who held Coventry City close to their hearts. Their passion, loyalty, and spirit remain part of this city’s story.

Football has a unique way of bringing generations together, and today, we honour not only the team’s success but the supporters who carried that love through the years.

Wherever you’re watching from, this moment is for you too 💙

This week is Hospice UK Dying Matters Awareness Week.

Their theme this year is "Let's talk about death and dying."

You may have already seen that we are hosting an opportunity to come and talk freely about all matters related to death and dying on Thursday at our Head Office in Allesley Old Road.

In line with this chance to share tea and cake with us we will also be supporting this special week by increasing awareness each day of a different aspect of our contribution to the care we provide at the end of life, because dying matters.

We can help your family prepare for a 'natural burial' to pay tribute to you, if it is your wish 🌳🍁🍂

🌸 International Bereaved Mother’s Day 🌸

Today, we pause to honour and hold close every mother who carries a heartache no words can fully describe - every mother who has lost a child, every mother whose arms are empty, every mother who loves and remembers deeply, even in grief.

Today, and always: we see you. We honour you. We hold space for every tear, every memory, every “what if”, and every love that never ends.

Grief does not erase your motherhood.
It shapes it, deepens it, and proves just how vast and enduring a mother’s love truly is. Your child is still part of you, still loved, still yours—and that bond is unbreakable, beyond time and place.

As funeral directors, we walk alongside many families through their hardest days. We have seen how fiercely you love, how bravely you carry your loss, and how you keep the memory of your little ones alive in every way you can.

We hold you in our thoughts today, and we are here if you need a gentle word, a listening ear, or support in honouring the life of the one you miss so much.

You are not alone. Your love matters. Your loss matters. You matter.

As part of Dying Matters Awareness Week 2026, we welcome you into a safe space to ask questions and talk freely, because dying matters.

Funerals are for the living. Talking about death and what happens when we die can be so helpful in order to prepare for what is an incredibly important part of our life story.

We will be brewing tea ( a hug in a mug), providing coffee and home baked cakes.
Everyone is welcome to pop in, stay awhile and ask that question 🕊☕🍰🧁🤍
