We’re delighted to share that we are now an official drop-off point for donations to the Animal Rescue Charity, a registered local charity.

www.animalrescuecharity.org.uk

The charity is a sanctuary supporting neglected, unwanted, and abandoned animals, with a strong focus on cats and dogs. They also rescue wildlife and make sure animals are passed on to the appropriate specialist wildlife charities.

Many of the pets they support come to them when an owner has passed away, which feels especially meaningful to us.

As a team of animal lovers ourselves — especially when it comes to cats and dogs — this felt like a natural way to support a cause we know is close to the hearts of so many in our local community.

Our drop-off point in the foyer is open for donations of:

• Cat & dog food
• Blankets & towels
• Pet bedding
• Cat & dog toys
• Other useful pet supplies

If you’re passing by, you’re very welcome to pop in — whether to donate or simply say hello 🤍

A small way to care for pets and the community we all share.

Thank you to staff at St Clare Hospice Shop Edinburgh Way, for gifting the collection crate 🤍

On Sunday, we attended the Christmas Memororial at GreenAcres Living Memorial Park Epping.

A truly warm and uplifting service, led by the lovely celebrant, Vicki Corderoy, and beautifully enhanced by the voice of Nancy May. Nancy's carol singing added a gentle and heartfelt touch.

As funeral directors, we see the the importance of special moments that bring us comfort and connection.

Our sincere thanks to GreenAcres Epping for hosting such a meaningful Christmas memorial for our community.

A Truly Traditional Farewell!

On Monday, we were honoured to arrange a beautiful horse-drawn funeral. The elegance and dignity of the horses, Mac & Donald, leading the cortege, created a fitting tribute and a very special farewell for a much-loved life.

At FJ Pinnock and Son Funeral Directors, we are proud to be able to offer families the choice of a traditional horse-drawn hearse, adding a unique and meaningful touch to the service.

If you would like to know more about this option, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We are here to help you create the farewell that feels right for your loved one.

Gone Riding by David Ritter

Don't cry for me,
I still ride free,
with the wind upon my face,
leather in black,
the sun on my back,
a priceless gift of God's grace .

I'll never grow old, on these streets of gold.
chasing a majestic sunset,
and I still recall, how I love you all,
sweet memories I won't forget.

And when your road ends,
we'll meet again, inside the Pearly Gates.
and we'll laugh awhile and go ride for miles,
but for now,
Heaven can wait.

When you do get here,
don't shed one tear,
and think that I'm in hiding.
Just search Heaven's shore, where engines roar,
and you'll find that I've gone riding

Every Goodbye is Unique

When it comes to saying farewell, there is no “one size fits all.” Families today have many meaningful options when planning a funeral or memorial:

✨ Traditional Funeral Services – A time-honored way to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.

✨ Cremation Services – Can be combined with a ceremony or kept simple, offering flexibility for families.

✨ Celebrations of Life – A more personal and uplifting tribute, often centered around sharing memories, stories, and favorite things.

✨ Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals – An environmentally conscious choice, focusing on simplicity and sustainability.

No matter what feels right for you and your loved ones, our role is to provide guidance, compassion, and support every step of the way.

Because every life deserves to be honored in a way that feels personal.

Remember by Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
