💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 💚

Knowing you are there, in person or at the end of the phone makes all the difference.

Don't put it off, pick up the phone, if you don't know what to say just listen.

We are only a call away, you don't have to suffer in silence lets break down the stigma together by talking.

Mental Health affects us all.

On Wednesday, we had the honour of using our Land Rover hearse from Land Rover Defender Hearse Hire. One Life Lived It. for a truly special farewell. We're proud to offer options that reflect personal passions, whether it's the adventure of a Land Rover, the elegance of a horse drawn-carriage or even the freedom of a motorcycle hearse. Every goodbye can be as unique as the life it honours. If you'd like to explore a fitting tribute, we're here to help you tailor the perfect journey.

Reflecting on a recent service conducted by ourselves here at David H Smith, we had the honour of carrying out a beautiful service at St Giles Church, Hartington, in Buxton.

Families often ask what happens before we arrive at the church, so we wanted to share this clip to gently show how we prepare your loved one’s final journey as they leave our premises. 🎩

Here you can see Liam and the team carrying out the final preparations with the utmost care and dignity. Before the hearse is closed, Liam bows his head as a quiet sign of respect. He is then seen walking ahead of the hearse, carrying his hat and cane as we leave our premises in Leek. This slow, steady walk is a longstanding mark of honour and respect.

The hearse then travels at an average speed of 30mph, depending on traffic and road conditions, ensuring a calm and dignified journey.

The beautiful solid oak coffin was adorned with a stunning 4ft floral arrangement, with the family choosing elegant blue and white tones for the casket spray. Thank you Possibilities Florist for your stunning arrangement.

Meeting us on arrival at the church was Reverend Canon Doctor Nicola McNally, who guided us into the service at the beautiful St. Giles Church.
It is always our privilege to support families with compassion, dignity, and the highest level of care during such an important farewell.

Our thanks to Tom from Up in the sky Droneography for his professional, respectful and discreet approach to the filming. 🎥
