🌼 World Su***de Prevention Day – 10th September 🌼

Today we pause to reflect, raise awareness, and show support for all those affected by su***de. At Ginns and Gutteridge Funeral Directors, we understand how deeply painful it is to lose a loved one, especially when that loss is sudden and unexpected.

When death is anticipated, there can be time to prepare, to say goodbye, and to find moments of peace together. But when a life is lost too soon, the grief can feel overwhelming and leave families searching for answers and comfort.

We want every family to know that you are not alone. Our care extends beyond arranging funerals – we are here to support you with compassion, understanding, and dignity, helping to honour your loved one’s life in a meaningful way.

💛 Today, let’s work together to break the silence, offer kindness, and extend a hand to those who may be struggling. A conversation could save a life.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or a support service such as:

Samaritans: 116 123 (24/7)

Mind: 0300 123 3393

Or your local support network

Together, we can create hope through action. 💛
