National Funeral Planning Awareness Week
23rd February - 2nd March 2026

As your local funeral director, we’re supporting National Funeral Planning Awareness Week, a time dedicated to encouraging people to reflect on their funeral wishes and take the important step of having a conversation with loved ones about them.

We understand that bringing funerals into the conversation can be challenging and, quite honestly, something you’d rather put off for another day. But we see the comfort and reassurance that planning can bring.

No matter the circumstances surrounding the loss of a family or friend, having a clear understanding of their funeral wishes helps to ease the stress of making funeral arrangements at an emotionally challenging time. It allows those left behind to focus on honouring their memory rather than worrying about whether they’re getting it “right”.

So, do it for yourself, but most importantly, do it for them.

It could be as simple as considering whether you’d like a burial or cremation, and the kind of funeral you’d like.

This time of year is often described as a time of joy, togetherness and celebration. Streets sparkle with lights, families gather, and traditions take centre stage. Yet for many who are grieving, this time of year can magnify feelings of loss, loneliness and sadness.

For those missing someone special, we want you to know that we are thinking of you all.

Whether you light a candle, set a place at the table or quietly reflect, we hope you find peace in the love and memories you hold dear.

Wishing you peace and comfort this Christmas, from Suzanne, Lee, Charlotte, Aimee, Liam and all of us at Hearnden-Smith & Daughters Funeral Directors.

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.
