✋ 3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are men. Today, we take time to recognise the men in our families and communities and say it loudly that it’s okay for men to talk about their feelings and to ask for help when they need it.

💙 International Men’s Day – 19 November 2025 💙

If you or someone you know is struggling, there are people ready to listen and support:

🌿 Calm (Campaign Against Living Miserably) – 0800 58 58 58 | thecalmzone.net

🌿 Mind – 0300 123 3393 | mind.org.uk

🌿 Samaritans – 116 123 | samaritans.org

🌿 Mensheds UK – menssheds.org.uk
– community spaces for men to connect and support one another

Let’s continue to look out for one another and create spaces where it’s safe to talk about whatever we're going through 💙

🌈 Child Bereavement UK – childbereavementuk.org

🎉 Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our wonderful colleague, Lee Bentley! 🎉

Lee plays an essential role across our branches, always going above and beyond for the families we serve.

Whether he’s meeting families for the first time, driving on the day of a funeral, or coordinating flowers and details behind the scenes, Lee’s compassion and commitment never go unnoticed.

We’re so grateful to have you on the Harrison team, Lee – have a fantastic day!

🗨️ A gentle reminder here from the wise C.S. Lewis, that beneath the surface of anger, there could be a wound that yearns for attention and care. Recognising this can be the first step towards healing 🙏

"I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief." - C.S. Lewis

⚱️ Many people don’t quite know what to expect when it comes to scattering ashes. When a family chooses this option, our team carefully places the ashes into a specially designed vessel, known as a scatter tube, which has been carefully designed to make the act of scattering simple. These biodegradable containers come in a range of beautiful designs, a small selection of which are shown in the image here.

☎️ If you've decided that you'd like to scatter a loved one's ashes and would like some help or advice, our team is always on hand: call 020 8819 3465.

✨ Wishing a peaceful Diwali to all who are celebrating 🪔

As the Festival of Lights begins, may your homes and hearts be filled with light, hope, and togetherness. We look forward to seeing the decorated homes and temples when we're out and about driving in the evenings.

We are grateful for his leadership, his kindness, and the difference he makes every single day. 🖤

🌊 Grief and mental health are deeply connected. It’s okay to not be okay, and it’s okay to ask for help. You can talk to your GP to request free counselling on the NHS. Alternatively, an advisor from Cruse Bereavement Care can advise you about their free bereavement services: Call 0808 808 1677💬
