A beautiful way to say goodbye to your loved one. 🕊

We recently had the honour of leading an ‘Only Fools and Hearse’ themed funeral for a family at our Foleshill Road funeral home.

It was a truly personal and heartfelt farewell, and we were privileged to help bring their wishes to life. 🕊️💐

The service was led by our Funeral Director, Georgette, and supported by our dedicated Funeral Service Operatives, who cared for the family with professionalism and compassion.

Such a beautiful farewell 🕊️

When it comes to personalising funerals, we pay close attention to every detail to make yours or your loved one’s farewell truly special and unique. 🙌

Monty went out to serve on the Funeral of a Parachute Regiment Veteran, where Heart of England Co-op Funerals requested on behalf of the family that the TV screen on Monty's deck was used to display the photo of the gentleman we were honoring and the external speakers played the march of his former regiment, through his guard of honour to his final resting place at Marston Lane Cemetery.

The expanse of glass along Monty's large deck and glass roof allowed the sun to shine in on the display of Medals and Regiment flag placed upon the coffin. Pictured are the Bugler and Bagpiper who also proudly played their parts within the Funeral Service.

Meet another one of our heroes – Caroline! 💚
Our amazing Personal Funeral Advisor braved the shave last year and raised an incredible £1,431 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Here’s what Caroline had to say about the experience:
"I chose to do something crazy, worthwhile, and out of my comfort zone by taking part in Brave the Shave for our corporate charity, Macmillan Cancer Support. I raised a grand total of £1,431!

I also donated my hair to The Little Princess Trust, who create wigs for people who’ve lost their own hair through illness. Both charities benefitted — as well as the person who received the hair — so overall it was a proud and humbling experience.

I’d do it again in a heartbeat."

👏 A huge thank you to Caroline for your courage, kindness, and commitment to making a difference.

Today, at Heart of England Co-op Funerals, we’re holding space for those who are grieving — whether it’s your father, your child, or a father figure who meant the world to you.

You don’t need to ‘be okay’ today. However you feel is valid, and however you spend the day is enough.
