Many men may find it harder to express grief or seek support, but you're not alone. If you're navigating loss, Cruse Bereavement Support is hosting an online “Let’s Talk About Grief” session this Thursday at 6:30pm, focusing on men’s experiences of grief and how to cope.

It’s a safe, open space to reflect, connect, and find support.

At Craven Funeral Directors, we understand the importance of taking time to remember and honour our loved ones. This Sunday, we invite you to join us in a moment of reflection and mindfulness.

Take a peaceful moment today to cherish the memories of those who have passed. Whether it’s through a walk in a beautiful garden, lighting a candle, or simply sharing a story, let's find solace and serenity together.

When a loved one passes away, it can feel overwhelming knowing what to do next. One of the key steps is letting the right people and organisations know.

This may include:
– The GP or hospital
– Family and close friends
– Employers and schools
– Banks, insurance companies and utility providers
– Government departments (such as HMRC and DWP)

Using the government’s Tell Us Once service can make this process easier, notifying multiple departments in one go >> https://hubs.ly/Q03vZpPg0

If you’re unsure where to start, we’re here to guide and support you every step of the way. 🤍

4 things to consider when choosing funeral flowers:

1. Check with the family - they may not want funeral flowers and would rather receive donations for a charity instead.

2. Type of funeral - whether it is a traditional service or a celebration of life will help determine which flowers will be most suitable.

3. Their personality - when choosing flowers think about the personality of the deceased. They may have had a favourite flower colour which could help you make a choice.

4. What to write - once you have chosen the flowers it can be even more difficult to think of what to say. Try and keep it simple if you are struggling to find the right words. Forever in our thoughts/ Rest in Peace / With condolences are simple but meaningful. Always remember, it’s the thought that counts.
