This year, we are incredibly proud to announce that, through the generosity of the families we care for and our partnership with MuchLoved, we have raised over £50,000 for charities and good causes.

A MuchLoved tribute page offers an everlasting space for families to cherish and remember their loved ones by creating a special, personalised online tribute. Fundraising for chosen charities and good causes can remain open indefinitely, should you wish, and photos, thoughts, and memories can be shared collectively in one meaningful place.

Memory giving truly does matter. Thank you all for your generosity.

We know thinking about funerals is never easy. It’s something many people put off or avoid altogether. But taking the time to preplan ensures your farewell reflects your wishes - in a way that’s truly your own.

Having a funeral plan in place makes perfect sence - from an emotional, practical and financial point of view, bringing peace of mind to you and your loved ones.

Let’s Talk Direct Cremations
Rumour has it that a big company who do a lot of TV advertising are the cheapest for these types of funeral.

They are not.

According to research, we are cheaper, but we will also look after your loved one in our own private facilities, we will go through the paperwork with you, over a cup of tea, coffee and biscuits, not just send you a link to complete it yourself, we will let you know when the cremation will take place so you can reflect, or light a candle or pray at that time, we will also give you your loved one’s ashes back to you in a respectful manner.

Just because we’re independent doesn’t mean we are more expensive.

But we care for your loved one like we care for our own.

Our family caring for your family.

Ever thought of having your loved one with you forever. This is what we can do. A large range of bespoke finger print jewellery. A treasured memory always.

This year we’re proud to announce that we’ve raised over £64,110 for charities through our partnership with MuchLoved. These funds will make a real difference to those good causes, and this is only possible thanks to the incredible generosity of the families we support. Memory giving really does make a difference - thank you all.

We have had a busy week laying headstones our superb stone mason has done us proud with his skills. It’s a long process but lovely to see them come together at the end. This memorial was replaced with a lovely new black granite easy maintenance memorial. (Names blacked out for data protection)

I found this on another site and thought it may be helpful for our clients/friends and families.

This is what grief is.
A hole ripped through the very fabric of your being.
The hole eventually heals along the jagged edges that remain. It may even shrink in size.
But that hole will always be there.
A piece of you always missing.
For where there is deep grief, there was great love.
Don’t be ashamed of your grief.
Don’t judge it.
Don’t suppress it.
Don’t rush it.
Rather, acknowledge it.
Lean into it.
Listen to it.
Feel it.
Sit with it.
Sit with the pain. And remember the love.
This is where the healing will begin.
