Flower of the Month - September

There are two flowers of month for September: the Aster and the Morning Glory.

Aster: Symbolising wisdom, love, and faith, asters bring a sense of calm and reflection as we move into autumn. Their star-shaped blooms remind us of light and guidance, even as the days grow shorter.

Morning Glory: Known for their vibrant colours and blossoms that represent affection and renewal.

Together, these flowers offer a message of hope, remembrance, and love that endures, perfect sentiments for this gentle change of season.

Celebrating Young Creativity in Brentford
Lodge Brothers were delighted to support the Creative Mile, Brentford Art Trail Youth Competition this year. We donated the prizes and had the privilege of helping to judge the fantastic entries.
Our Brentford arranger Catherine Smith, along with Mark Pearce (Creative Director for the Creative Mile) and our District Manager, Nic Bisiker, had the honour of awarding prizes to the talented young artists yesterday outside our Brentford branch.
All of the wonderful artwork will be proudly displayed at Brentford School for Girls throughout the Creative Mile weekend, and we encourage everyone to visit and enjoy the creativity of our local young people.

Lodge Brothers Marks EO Day with a First!
Happy EO Day!

Today marks 13 years since Employee Ownership was signed into law and what a journey it’s been. From just 152 employee-owned businesses back then to over 2,250 today, the movement is growing fast.

We’re proud to say that Lodge Brothers was the first funeral directors in the UK to become employee owned, helping protect the values and high standards that have guided our family business for over eight generations.

To celebrate EO Day 2025, we held our first ever Employee Forum meeting giving our team a stronger voice in shaping the future of our business and the services we offer to families.

Our future is in good hands – ours!

Rain Didn’t Stop the Picnic at Merlewood!

Despite the weather moving the picnic indoors, our District Manager Shelia Kane and Funeral Arranger Chris had a wonderful afternoon at Merlewood Care Home today. The grand drawing room played host to a lovely get-together, complete with packed lunches, goodie bags, and plenty of community spirit.

It was a pleasure to connect with local care home staff, community carers, physiotherapists, and other members of the team. We also met their brilliantly decorated duck, all ready for the Staines Thames Duck Race—complete with a hair net and string of pearls to represent their fabulous facilities!

We were proud to contribute raffle prizes for Merlewood’s upcoming Open Event on 12th July, and as always, we value opportunities to build relationships and support our local community.

Flower of the Month – The Rose

This month, we celebrate the timeless beauty and symbolism of the rose – June’s flower of the month.

Often associated with love, remembrance, and respect, roses are a meaningful tribute for those we hold dear. Whether in soft pastels or deep, rich tones, each bloom carries a message of enduring affection and memory.

At Lodge Brothers, we understand how important these personal touches can be. Roses remain one of the most cherished choices for funeral tributes and memorial arrangements – elegant, heartfelt, and everlasting in their symbolism.

If you’d like to include roses in a floral tribute or memorial arrangement, our team is here to help.

Red Watch Opens New Tea Room at The Burroughs Care Home

We were delighted to attend the official opening of the brand-new Red Watch Tea Room at The Burroughs care home, a welcoming space created to support residents, relatives, visitors and the local Yiewsley community.

The tea room is the inspired vision of Alison, the Activities Co-ordinator, and Andy from the Home Maintenance team, with the aim of providing a warm and inclusive hub that brings people together and raises awareness of dementia.

The opening on Monday 2nd June was supported by Red Watch from London Fire Brigade, with special thanks to Jan from Adult Social Services, Chris, Regional Director at UK, and our very own Sheila Kane, District Manager at Lodge Brothers, who joined staff and guests to celebrate this fantastic community initiative.

A huge well done to everyone involved in bringing this idea to life. The tea room looks beautiful—and the cake was a definite highlight! 🍰👏

Ride to Remember Sunday 29th June 2025

We’ve all known someone who loved riding and is no longer with us. This special ride is a chance to honour their memory and raise funds for the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, who will be joining us at Thruxton Circuit.

Enjoy a scenic ride through the beautiful countryside, with café stops at Wi******er Auto Barn (classic car showroom) and Thruxton Circuit to keep you fuelled and connected with fellow riders.

Let’s come together, remember those we’ve lost, and make a difference. ❤️

Don’t miss this meaningful day of reflection, community, and support.

Spreading Easter Cheer

Our lovely arranger Shobha was out and about recently, delivering Easter Eggs on behalf of our District Manager Sheila.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful teams at Queens Court and Mountbatten Grange for the warm welcome.

We’re proud to work closely with both care homes—not only delivering seasonal treats for the residents but also supporting staff through regular training sessions.

It’s always a pleasure to connect with such caring and dedicated teams.

Wishing everyone a joyful and peaceful Easter from all of us at Lodge Brothers.

Flower of the Month: The Primrose

As we step into February, the gentle primrose begins to bloom, bringing with it the promise of new beginnings and the quiet beauty of early spring.

At Lodge Brothers Funeral Directors, we find comfort in the symbolism of the primrose—a reminder that even in times of loss, hope and renewal are just around the corner. The primrose represents youth, remembrance, and the enduring cycle of life, offering a subtle yet powerful tribute to those we hold dear in our hearts.

Whether placed in a memorial arrangement or simply admired in nature, this delicate flower reminds us that love and memories continue to bloom, even in the colder seasons of life.

If you need support or guidance, our compassionate team is here for you, offering care and understanding when you need it most.
