Rest in eternal peace. Cremation private at his own request.

Following on from James' recent exam success we would like to express our appreciation and thanks to a wonderful member of our team, Iain, who has been part of the JFS family for 17 years. Over the past three years Iain has been a steadfast support to James, mentoring him throughout his studies, every step of the way. It's been a real pleasure to watch James grow in knowledge and experience under Iain's careful guidance. Thank you Iain for all that you have done to support James - and for all that you do for our families daily.

There's a new embalmer in town!......
We are over the moon to share the news that James has successfully gained a Diploma in Embalming, awarded by the International Examinations Board of Embalmers and has subsequently been granted membership into The British Institute of Embalmers. This has been quite some journey over the past three years with five theory exams, each two and a half hours long, over 40 practical assessments and two final practical exams. We are both proud and delighted in equal measure - Congratulations James, your success and achievement is thoroughly deserved.
