Today, John Kemp Funeral Directors have been popping little crocheted sunflowers around Herne Bay for anyone to find 💛

If you spot one, it’s yours to keep — a small handmade gesture to hopefully brighten your day.
Take it home, pass it on, or simply enjoy the smile it brings 🌻

If you find one, we’d love to know!

🎄This Christmas we're proud to be supporting the residents of Canterbury House Care Home by purchasing gifts from their Just Giving Tree.

✨Helping to spread festive cheer and support the residents. The tradition is especially meaningful for them, many of the residents no longer have family who are able to give gifts. The Just Giving Tree offers them something truly precious.⭐️

🎄 Wreath-Making Afternoon 🎄

John Kemps thoroughly enjoyed taking part in a wonderful wreath-making afternoon with the lovely Joy at Sincerely Yours Florist. Each wreath was made with joy and love, all in preparation to be gifted to local care homes for residents to enjoy this Christmas. ❤️✨

A huge thank-you to Joy at Sincerely Yours Florist for supplying everything we needed and teaching us how to make such beautiful wreaths. And a big thank you to the Duke of Cumberland for kindly allowing us to use their beautiful function room (The Boatyard) for the afternoon.

Spreading a little Christmas Cheer! 🎅🌲💫

We would also like to give a huge thank you to Ashleigh the Celebrant-Whitstable & Beyond for delivering such a thoughtful and moving reading.
