I am deeply honoured to be working alongside Jonathon Rust Family Funeral Directors of Fordingbridge, creating Remembrance Tributes for some of Jon’s clients. I personally experienced their exceptional care and compassion when my husband passed away last year, so it means a great deal to now be able to give back by helping to honour the lives and memories of their clients’ loved ones.

In the next couple of weeks we will be announcing our charity of 2026, and throughout the year we will be doing numerous fundraising events to raise money for the fantastic work they do.

We also have other plans in the making to offer our families another choice when they are arranging the funeral of their loved ones, watch this space and we will share as it develops.

🎩 Today a family said goodbye to their loved one using a slightly different method of transport 🎩

A beautiful wooden bier kindly donated to us by David Shering which belonged to the late John Shering.

Absolute privilege and honour to be able to use this piece of history for a local funeral.

As we always say, the perfect goodbye, your way.

🎄 Tonight we joined others at the beautiful Carol and Memorial Service at Test Valley Crematorium 🎄

What an amazing service delivered by Celebrant Dave Adcock and others, a truly poignant ceremony to help all those who have lost loved ones through a difficult time of the year. Part of the service was dedicated to babies and children too precious for earth, a message so close to many.

Many find it tough going back to a place where they said goodbye to their loved ones, but I’m sure with the gentle and loving words said by everyone tonight, would’ve helped families smile through their tears.

During the reflection music, the attendees stepped forward to the Christmas tree to hang a tag with a message to those they have lost. Ours simply said, In Loving Memory of all those we have loved and lost in 2025.

On our way out we were invited to take a copy of a beautiful reading called Little Snowdrop and a cute little Robin knitted by a talented lady.

Thank you so much Test Valley Crematorium for everything you have done over the year to help families say goodbye to their loved ones.
