💜 Menopause Awareness Month: Supporting Our Team at Every Stage

October is Menopause Awareness Month, a time to raise understanding, break down stigma, and ensure that everyone experiencing menopause feels supported both in life and at work.

At Funeral Experts, we know that menopause can affect people in many different ways, physically, emotionally, and professionally.

That’s why we’ve recently introduced a Menopause Policy to provide clear, compassionate guidance and practical support for our colleagues.

This new policy is part of our wider commitment to building a respectful, inclusive, and understanding workplace where everyone can feel comfortable discussing their health and accessing the help they need.

By talking openly about menopause and offering real support, we aim to help normalise these conversations, not just during October, but all year round.

Let’s keep the conversation going

🧡Supporting Get Online Week: Helping Everyone Access Funeral Information

This Get Online Week, we aim to make it easier for families and those who support them to find the funeral information they need, enabling them to feel confident in making informed choices.

Our Funeral Director Comparison Tool helps people compare funeral directors by price and location, bringing transparency and clarity during a difficult time.

Many people find searching for funeral information online overwhelming, especially if they’re not confident using digital tools. That’s why our tool is designed to be simple, accessible, and supportive for everyone.

Could this be useful for the people you work with, such as your staff, service users, or community members?

If clear and transparent funeral information would benefit those you support, we’ll add our comparison tool to your website and set it up for free throughout October.

It’s a straightforward way to help people access the information they need to make informed decisions, while demonstrating your commitment to wellbeing, inclusion, and social responsibility.

Free setup during October — our way of supporting Get Online Week.

🩵Together, We Remember🩷

Tonight, we join families and communities worldwide for the Wave of Light, marking the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

At 7 pm, candles will be lit in memory of every baby who has died too soon, a moment to pause, reflect, and remember.

However you choose to take part, whether by lighting a candle, sitting quietly, or simply holding someone in your thoughts, every light shines in memory of a precious life, loved and never forgotten.

We hold in our hearts all those who grieve, and all those they remember tonight. 🩵🩷

⚠️ Warm Home Discount – Scam Awareness ⚠️

We’re helping raise awareness of scams targeting people about the Warm Home Discount scheme across the UK. Please help us share this message and keep others safe.

Key things to know:

🟠 The UK Government or Ofgem will never contact you by text or ask for bank details.

🟠 If you’re in England or Wales, you don’t need to apply, eligible households will receive a letter by post between October and December 2025 confirming their £150 discount.

🟠 In Scotland, people receiving Pension Credit Guarantee Credit will also get the discount automatically, but others may still need to apply through their energy supplier.

🟠 Genuine letters will come from: Warm Home Discount Scheme, PO Box 970, Preston, PR2 0FX.

🟠 Always avoid clicking links or sharing details from suspicious texts or emails.

Let’s work together to protect people from scams this winter. 💚

💚 Supporting people at the end of life with faster access to financial help

Healthcare professionals can now submit SR1 forms online to help patients access benefits quickly under the Special Rules for End of Life.

The new online process is:

✅ Fast and simple — log in using your NHS details

✅ No need to provide a National Insurance number

✅ Provides instant confirmation of submission

✅ Lets you download a copy for your records

The SR1 form helps the DWP fast-track financial support for people nearing the end of life. There are no negative consequences if someone lives longer than expected, it simply ensures they receive the help they need, when they need it most.
