This guide gently walks you through the early choices.
Not to rush you. Not to pressure you.
Just to help you feel a little more steady in the fog.

🌙 A little late-night love from our family to yours…

If you’ve ever been to one of our Candlelit Christmas Memorials, you might have heard our Suzy sing.

Last month, she picked up a ukulele for the first time. She told us she was going to learn… and we all smiled politely and assumed it would collect dust. But she only went and did it.

Tonight, she came downstairs and played us Fix You by Coldplay and honestly, it felt like a little hug for the soul.

So here’s a quiet moment, from our home to yours. For anyone missing someone. For anyone who needs a bit of comfort. For anyone who just wants to hear something soft and true.

Sending love,
Xx

☕ What’s Everyone Drinking Today?

We take our brews very seriously around here (even if we don’t always get it right…)

– Ruth’s on coffee with a sweetener – no surprises there.
– Sophia has white tea with no sugar.
– Becks thought she had white tea with one sugar… until we realised Sophs been making it without for months.
– Suze is keeping it clean with water (the youth, honestly).
– And every Wednesday, Michelle and Katy have their sacred Starbucks meeting.
Today:
Michelle – Caramel macchiato
Katy – Caramel Frappuccino with coconut milk

What are you drinking today?

🤍Meet the Family🤍

This is Suzy. She might be our youngest team member, but she brings a calm, thoughtful presence to every family she supports.

Suzy’s grown up around funerals. She’s watched her mum (yep, that’s Katy) build this family-run business from the ground up, and now she’s proudly learning the ropes herself-one service, one quiet detail at a time.

You’ll find her making sure everything looks just right, calming nervous family members with her kind smile, or double-checking the flowers because she knows how much they matter.

We’re not just a team here. We’re a family. And Suzy’s a huge part of that future.

💐 Leave her a little hello below if you’ve met her, or just pop in and say hi - we’re always happy to see friendly faces here.

If you’re missing someone at your table today, we are sending you all the love in the world 🩷

Big days like today have a funny way of shining a light on who’s missing, don’t they?
You can feel the gap, even if you laugh and chat and pass the potatoes around.
You can feel it in the quiet moments… when you set the table, or clear the plates, or spot their favourite chocolate egg on the shelf.

If today feels a little heavier for you, you’re not alone.
It’s okay to feel everything… the joy, the sadness, the laughter, the ache.
Grief has a seat at the table, too.

From all of us here, sending you comfort, kindness, and a gentle reminder: you’re doing better than you think.
Take it one soft moment at a time.

Happy Easter … however it looks for you this year.
Much love
Katy & Mich

Mother’s Day can feel different for everyone.

As mums ourselves, we know the joy and chaos that comes with being a mother—the cuddles, the noise, the unconditional love (and the endless piles of washing). But working in a funeral home, we also know the quiet ache that this day can bring.

To those grieving a mum, we see you.
To the mums who’ve had to say goodbye to a child, we hold you close in our hearts.
To those who long to be mums, or are navigating a different path, your feelings matter deeply.
To the grandmothers, stepmums, and mother figures who’ve stepped in and stood strong—you are everything.

Mich and I are sending so much love to all of you today. Whether Mother’s Day is filled with hugs, tears, memories, or a mixture of it all, please know you’re not alone.

We’re here. And we care.

With love, always,
Katy & Mich

Here’s What to Look for When Comparing Funeral Costs – So You Don’t Get Caught Out!

We know that planning a funeral is already overwhelming, and the last thing you need is confusion over costs. That’s why real transparency matters – because a funeral price should include everything you actually need, not just the basics with hidden extras tacked on later.

Here are a few things to check when comparing quotes:

◾️Collection of Your Loved One – Some providers list a lower starting price but don’t include bringing your loved one into their care. This can add hundreds to the final bill.

🔳Cremation or Burial Costs – Are third-party fees like crematorium charges clearly included, or are they a “to be added later” surprise?

🔳Out-of-Hours Care – If someone passes away outside of 9-5, is collection included at any time, or is there a hefty surcharge?

At Ruby Funerals, we believe in honest, upfront pricing – no hidden extras, no surprises, just the full cost from day one. Because when you’re grieving, the last thing you need is an unexpected bill.

If you’re unsure about funeral costs, pop in for a cuppa and a chat. No pressure, just an honest conversation when you need it.

Much love
Katy & Mich

Here’s to strong women. 🩷

May we know them.
May we be them.
May we raise them.

Running a family business means more than just working together—it’s about passing down values, resilience, and the kind of strength that comes in all shapes and personalities. Between us, we’re raising two very different young women, each with their own fire, ambition, and (let’s be honest) plenty of opinions!

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the generations of strong women before us, the ones standing beside us, and the ones we’re raising to take on the world in their own unique way.

This morning, as we made our early journey from Gosport to the crematorium for a direct cremation, a beautiful rainbow followed us the entire way.

It felt like a quiet reminder that even in the moments of loss and goodbye, there is still beauty, light, and connection.

Rainbows appear when the storm has passed—just as love and memories remain long after someone has gone. They remind us that grief and hope can exist together, that saying farewell doesn’t mean forgetting, and that even on the greyest days, something unexpectedly beautiful can appear.

For families choosing a simple, dignified farewell, we’re always here to bring kindness, care, and a little light along the way.

Much love
Katy
