⚫ A Respectful Reminder ⚫

Let us all remember to show courtesy and respect when encountering a funeral procession on the road. These moments represent a family’s final farewell to a loved one.

Paying Our Respects

If you see a hearse, could you stop, stand for a moment as it passes, perhaps take off your cap, and bow your head?

we wondered if we could revive an old tradition that would show people that their loss is noticed and shared by us all?

It would mean the world to families in a time of sadness.

Please if you see a hearse at a junction please stop and allow some of the following cars to also exit the junction. On most cases this is the family behind following the hearse.

It only makes your Journey slightly longer but means the world to families in such difficult times. Thank you 🙏🏼

“Our family has served as funeral directors since 1851, upholding traditions that reflect dignity, respect, and compassion. The formal mourning attire shown here — the top hat, morning coat, and waistcoat — echoes the customs of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, when ceremony and presentation were essential parts of paying tribute. Though times have changed, our commitment to honouring every life with care and reverence remains steadfast, as it has for over a century and a half.”

🌿 The Healing Power of Poetry ✨
Poetry has a beautiful way of putting feelings into words when our own hearts can’t. In times of loss, a few simple lines can bring comfort, hope, and connection — reminding us that love and memory never fade.

Whether read at a service, placed inside a memorial card, or kept quietly at home, a poem can speak to the soul. It can help us express what words alone sometimes cannot — the depth of love, the pain of goodbye, and the peace of remembrance.

Some families choose a favorite verse that reflects their loved one’s spirit. Others write their own, creating something truly personal and timeless. However it’s shared, poetry becomes a bridge between grief and gratitude — a way to honor a life and keep their story alive. 🤍

💖 Cherished Keepsakes to Remember Those We Love 🌿

Even after someone we love has gone, there are many meaningful ways to keep their memory close. Keepsakes can bring comfort, connection, and a gentle reminder of the moments shared. Here are a few beautiful options families often choose:

✨ Memorial Jewelry – Lockets, bracelets, or pendants that hold a small photo, a fingerprint, or even a tiny portion of ashes.
🕯️ Personalized Candles – Lit on special days or quiet evenings, symbolizing their light that still shines.
🌸 Memory Boxes – A place for treasured items — letters, photos, or small mementos that tell their story.
🌳 Living Tributes – Planting a tree or flower in their honor, allowing their memory to continue to grow.
📸 Photo Books & Frames – Collecting moments and smiles that will never fade.
🎶 Custom Keepsakes – Engraved wind chimes, ornaments, or stones with a meaningful message or their name.
👚Turning special items like clothing into a memory bear or blanket.

However you choose to remember them, what matters most is keeping their love alive in your heart and everyday life. 🤍

🌿 Caring for Your Mental Health During Loss 🌿
Losing someone you love is one of the hardest experiences we face. At A.J. Coggles Family Funeral Directors, we see how grief affects every part of life — not just the heart, but the mind too. 💛

It’s normal to feel:
• Sadness, anger, or guilt
• Confusion or difficulty concentrating
• Anxiety or restlessness
• Emotional numbness

You are not alone. Seeking support doesn’t make your grief any less personal — it makes it manageable. Talking to friends, family, or a professional counsellor can help you process your feelings and take care of yourself during this difficult time.

Helpful resources:
• Samaritans – 116 123 (UK)
• Cruse Bereavement Care – 0808 808 1677

We want families to know that alongside arranging a dignified farewell for your loved one, your mental wellbeing matters. 💛

Take a moment for yourself today. Breathe. Reach out. And remember — grief is not a journey you need to take alone.
