✨ Supporting Families Beyond the Service ✨

Here at A J Lloyd Funeral Directors, we work alongside EverWith Memorial Jewellery to help families carry their loved one with them— always.

The handcrafted memorial jewellery allows ashes or hair to be lovingly set into timeless pieces, giving families a meaningful keepsake long after the funeral has taken place.

By offering EverWith as part of your aftercare, we can provide an additional layer of comfort, remembrance, and personalisation during an incredibly important time.

"The heart ay's the part ay' us that makes us kin" – Robert Burns

On this Burns Night, we at A J Lloyd Funeral Directors reflect on the beautiful connections that bind us all.

Just as Scotland's beloved bard celebrated life, love, and community, we strive to honour every life with the same warmth, dignity, and respect.

Whether through a traditional tribute or a personal celebration of a loved one's unique story, we're here to support you in keeping memories alive – much like the enduring words of Burns himself.

If you'd like to learn how we can incorporate cultural traditions or personal passions into a farewell service, we're here to help.

Slàinte mhath – to love, loss, and the lasting bonds we share 💫

A lovely idea ahead of Valentine's Day from the team over at Heart of England Crematorium

On the day of the funeral the hearse will typically carry your loved one’s coffin as the lead in the cortege followed by limousines for the mourners.

We operate a modern fleet of luxury Jaguar Hearses and Limousines in silver.
Alternative vehicles are available including the ever popular motorcycle hearse which are available upon request, plus a range of alternative modes of transport to make your final farewell personal to your loved one.

For some, the roar of a Harley wasn’t just a sound - it was a heartbeat.

The open road, the brotherhood, the freedom… it wasn’t a hobby.
It was who they were.

Motorcycle Funerals - The dignified choice for a final ride that reflects a life well lived.

A perfect farewell for a much loved lady who was the first female registered taxi driver in Coventry, what a privilege this was, a special thank you to Mortons Funeral Hire for making this unique final journey a very special one 🕊🤍

We were honoured to be on hire with Big Ben our taxi Hearse working alongside A J Lloyd Funeral Directors recently for the Funeral of a lady who was the first female registered taxi driver in Coventry! Given that Big Ben was himself built in Coventry, the family had many reasons to select him for their loved ones final journey!

We received 133 memorials for our Christmas Trees this year. 🎄

Our Memory Bears greeting visitors at our Allesley branch. 🐻

These lovely little furry friends each have a compartment inside, to keep the ashes of your loved one or indeed those of an adored, four legged family member. ❤

Absolutely perfect for that tangible, huggable connection with your loved one and make a charming alternative to a solid ashes Casket or Urn. ✨

Available with the ribbons as shown. Send us a message or pop in to one of our three branches for more info and to get yours. 💙

I wanted to thank Amanda for bringing this poem to the funeral of a very special lady… the mother of a very special lady.

I was halted in my tracks yet again by the beautiful wisdom and awareness of Donna Ashworth, so much so I wanted to share her words with you now.



Take the love by Donna Ashworth

Take the love you had for me
and turn it into laughter.
Turn it into blinding light
to shine on you thereafter.

Take the love you have for me
and show it to the world.
Something so amazing
needs to blossom and unfurl.

Take the love that made us,
keep it burning bright.
Let that fire guide you,
let it warm you through the night

Take the love you shared with me
and spread it out with gladness.
My life will not have been in vain
if you can fight the sadness

Take the love my darling,
it’s yours to carry on.
Grow that love forevermore
and then I won’t be gone.


As we step away from 2025 and all its twists and turns, I hope you can take the love with you into the New Year and let it lift you and comfort you.

From all of us at A J Lloyd, we wish you good health, happiness and peace throughout the New Year.

Yours,

Karen... 💙
