“She didn’t follow the beat of her own drum - she brought the whole drum kit, turned the volume up, and dared life to keep up with her.”

In her late 70s she attended festivals and loved good music, with REM and AC/DC some of her chosen songs. 🎶 Having written a bespoke tribute, her sister added some of her own words and then wanted to read the whole eulogy. The perfect tribute to their journey shared together 💗

Thank you Darren and all the team at Taylor’s for your care and support throughout.

By sharing their story, music, photos and the way they were part of your life, we remember.

Grief isn’t a sign of weakness; it is proof love still has somewhere to go.

Please know if you are missing someone, you are not alone. Holding on to their memory is healing. 💙

“There are moments in life when the world seems to pause, when the ordinary hushes and we are reminded that love, in all its forms is the thread that holds us all together.”

Some days there are never enough words to help with the pain of loss, but sharing the story of a much loved man in a bespoke written tribute today at Huddersfield Crematorium there were plenty words. Totally devoted to his family and Huddersfield Town an array of town scarves and shirts filled the chapel bringing some smiles amongst the tears, along with a pictorial tribute.

It was an absolute honour to help his family. Thank you Jyden, Helen and all the team at Huddersfield Funeral Home for your excellent care and support 💗

Having been self-employed since the age of 18, we choose the hours that we wish to work. It is important to grab some quality reflective time whenever possible and have a good work/life balance.

This afternoon, I will be meeting families to discuss their loved one service, I am also meeting another family after tea.

But for now, I am taking a stroll in this beautiful weather, with my dogs 💗☺️

Though they did not always see the world as others did, they illuminated it for all those knew them. Their vision was not bound by sight or certainty, but by the depth of their hearts, loyalty and the clarity of their spirits.

They were in the truest sense two ordinary men, yet in their presence, we learned to see the beauty in the
everyday, the strength in standing by one another, united as one, and the quiet power of simply being real.

Yesterday we shared the story of identical twin brothers who arrived side by side and left the world side by side after 61yrs. With a double slot, readings, a bespoke tribute, photos and music that was powerfully moving their service was simple but exactly as they would wish.

Thank you Phillip and all the team for your excellent support and care, it was an honour to be their celebrant.

“A long life is a gift; a joyful one is a blessing shared with all.”

At this time of year, when the days are shorter and the air carries that quiet stillness of early January, we often find ourselves looking for small signs of hope - the first snowdrops pushing through the cold earth, the gentle reminders that light always returns. It feels fitting somehow, to gather in this season to honour a life as strong, as long and remarkable as one lady.

Just pause for a moment and appreciate the extraordinary milestone and story we shared.
One hundred and two years old!

Having been requested by her family we created the perfect tribute and shared photos of her life, before exiting to ‘Theme from a Summer Place’ a beautiful piece.

Thank you Phillip and all the team for your compassion. It was an incredible honour.

“A life doesn’t have to be loud to be full. Sometimes the quietest people carry the richest stories.”

Having met with family mid December, today we shared the story of a special man with a love of travel and Formula One at Huddersfield. With a bespoke written tribute and photo tribute for reflection, there were plenty of smiles the happy memories.

Thank you to Kathy, Margaret and all the team at Gables for your exceptional care and support. It was an honour to be their chosen Celebrant.

“There are people whose presence lingers long after their footsteps fade, because they leave a little light wherever they have been.”

These words speak to the way a life can touch others in quiet, lasting ways. Even when the road hasn’t always been smooth, the light someone brings into your life, their laughter, stories and their spirit remains.

Yesterday we shared the bespoke written story of a much loved lady whose light will always shine bright. 💗

Having worked closely with family over the Christmas holidays, yesterday we shared the story of a gentleman who had a love of fishing 🎣 and Corrie. With family tributes, a bespoke poem and photo tribute there were plenty smiles amongst the tears.

Am always humbled when families take time after to message, send a card or review etc. It is truly heartwarming 💜

Thank you Darren and all the team at Taylor’s for your excellent care and support 💗

The hardest words when someone says they are struggling are ‘Me too’

When you lose someone you deal with each day as it comes. No two days are the same.

Be kind to yourself. 💗
