Today, a seat was quietly reserved for a beloved wife who could not be present at our service to say goodbye to her husband.
Her jacket, gently sprayed with her perfume, along with a teddy bear and a single red rose, was placed on her seat at the crematorium. Gentle symbols of love, comfort and a bond that remains.
Though absent in person, she was very much in our thoughts and part of a beautiful service. 🌹

Planning with care during funeral awareness week, we are encouraging open and thoughtful conversations about future wishes.

Over the past year, we have been pleased to work alongside Deborah Meddins, The Herefordshire Family Celebrant supporting families across our community through love and loss.

Together, we have helped shape a gentle and practical workbook called “Lasting Legacy.”
It has been designed to guide individuals through recording their funeral wishes, personal reflections, and important practical details, all in their own time and in the comfort of their own home.

We know from experience that making decisions during a time of grief can feel overwhelming. Having wishes written down can bring clarity, reassurance, and comfort when it matters most.

Planning ahead is not about dwelling on death, it is about caring for the people we leave behind.

If you would like a copy of the “Lasting Legacy” workbook, please contact us directly at info@goldenvalleyfuneralservices.com and we will be happy to send one to you.

At this stage the workbook is only available as a PDF document for you to print out at home.

This is NOT a pre-paid funeral plan. It is a simple workbook for you to document your wishes.

Belmont Roundabout update:

Today we gave new life to something that might otherwise have gone to waste 🩵
We had a number of unwanted forget-me-not plants in our garden, so rather than discard them, we carefully upcycled and replanted them on Belmont roundabout.

Our hope is that, in time, they will establish themselves, spread, and bring a gentle touch of remembrance to a place so many pass by each day.

These now sit alongside the collection of 8,000 bulbs we’ve planted over the past couple of years.

It's so lovely to see the Fritillaria meleagris (aka snakes heads) growing around the edges! and the bridal crown daffodils still in bloom.
