This week - start the conversation!

Have that meaningful conversation today. 🤗

From 23rd February to 2nd March 2025, we’re marking National Funeral Planning Awareness Week. It’s a time to reflect on your funeral wishes and start an important conversation with loved ones.

We understand it’s not the easiest topic, but planning ahead can bring real comfort - not just to you, but to those you leave behind. Whether it’s choosing between burial or cremation, selecting music, flowers, or even a dress code, there are no rules, just what feels right for you.

Stay tuned for National Funeral Planning Awareness Week as we share real life stories, unique insights and useful information to help you have those meaningful conversations with family and friends.
