✨ Memorial Jewellery ✨

A beautiful way to keep someone you love close.

Our pieces can be traditional or contemporary and each one can be personalised in meaningful ways — from ashes, hair or clothing fibres set into resin, to engraved messages, handwriting etching or photo lockets.

Choose from necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings and make it truly unique with a wide range of resin colours and precious metals including sterling silver, white gold, 9k rose gold and yellow gold.

A small keepsake. A lasting connection.

WOW! Our Easter Appeal has collected an incredible 1,422 Easter eggs this year for our local charities and community organisations!

Our amazing staff can be seen delivering the eggs to some of the charities and groups we’re supporting.

Everyone at Smiths would like to say a massive thank you to all who donated towards the appeal.

The kindness shown by our local community, businesses, and churches has been truly overwhelming and we are so grateful for your generosity.

Delivering these eggs brought us great joy—seeing how much this small gesture meant to so many people was incredibly heartwarming.

On behalf of Smiths Funeral Service, we wish you all a happy, joyful, and peaceful Easter.
