During Baby Loss Awareness Week, we stand united with Baby Loss Awareness UK to remember the beautiful lives that were lost too soon. We understand the immense pain that families endure following such a heartbreaking loss, and we want to express our heartfelt support.

If you or someone close to you has experienced this type of loss, please know that you are not alone in your journey. Let’s work together to raise awareness, share our stories, and foster a compassionate community that supports one another now and in the future.

Poetry has a unique way of expressing love, loss and remembrance when words feel hard to find. Many families choose a poem as part of a funeral or memorial service - a moment of comfort, reflection, and connection.

If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve shared a guide on choosing the perfect funeral poem on our blog. It offers suggestions to help you find words that truly capture the feelings you wish to express.

As the leaves begin to fall, we’re reminded of the beauty in change, and the gentle passing of time. Autumn can stir many emotions - reflection, gratitude, and sometimes sadness as we think of those no longer with us.

Today, we pause to honour those memories and the love that never fades, even as the seasons shift.🍂

Grieving allows individuals to start to come to terms with a loved one's passing.

Not marking the occasion with a mourning ritual such as an authentic funeral means that the bereaved do not have an opportunity to process the pivotal event and move towards a sense of closure.

Meaningful rituals are a timeless way to mark chapters in life, whether it's birthdays, christenings, marriages, or funerals. That's why different cultures throughout history have used funeral rites to come together and express their grief.

30/08/2025

Today is National Grief Awareness Day, a time to recognise the profound impact of loss and the importance of supporting one another through the grieving process. Grief is a personal journey that looks different for everyone, and it’s okay to take the time you need to heal. Let’s take a moment today to acknowledge our own grief and offer compassion to those around us who may be struggling. Remember, you are not alone.
