We had a lovely afternoon litter picking on the roads outside our Glastonbury office. Thank you to Deb Gates Goldsmith for organising us, thank you to Rendell for preparing some hot cross buns and teas and coffees for us all afterwards and thank you to the team for collecting so much rubbish. Happy Easter and Bank Holiday weekend to everyone from all of us at Forsey and Son and Trotman Funeral Directors

Interesting news coming out of Scotland. We at Forsey and Son and Trotman are always advocating for consumer choice and this development will provide families with another option for their loved one.

The process - called alkaline hydrolysis - will offer families a third option instead of burial or traditional cremation.

Remember your loved ones this Mother’s Day.

From 02 March - 16 March we’ll be posting remembrance candles as a special token to those who can’t be with us this Mother’s Day.
