2,000 heartfelt thank-yous.

We’re deeply grateful to every family who’s taken the time to share their experience with us on Trustpilot.

Each review is more than just words - it’s a story of trust, compassion, and care during life’s most difficult moments.

Thank you for letting us be there when it matters most. 💙

✨ Letters to Heaven ✨

We’re proud to share that all of our CMG crematoria now have Letters to Heaven post boxes installed on site.

These special post boxes offer families a heartfelt way to stay connected with loved ones they’ve lost, a space to share memories, write messages, or simply say what’s in your heart.

💌 Every letter is private, never opened or read, and through an eco-friendly process, they are gently transformed into compost.

🌱 This compost is then used in our gardens, ensuring that each message becomes part of the beauty and life that continues to grow there.
A small gesture with lasting meaning. Because love never leaves us, and neither do they.

Grief isn’t just about loss- it’s also about longing.

For the alternate endings, the untouched futures, the quiet hopes that quietly disappeared.

The moments that never unfolded. The dreams that never had time to bloom. The conversations that were never spoken, the laughter that never echoed through a room.

But in honouring even the unlived, we acknowledge the depth of our love and the beauty of what we imagined- because it mattered, even if it never came true.
