🕊 National Grief Awareness Week 🕊
1st – 8th December

At Kelly of Mill Hill Funeral Directors, we understand that grief doesn’t have a timeline — it’s a journey that looks different for everyone. This week, we join people across the UK in recognising National Grief Awareness Week — a time to come together, share, support, and remember.

Whether your loss is recent or many years ago, your feelings are valid. You are not alone. 💛

We’re here to support our local community not just through funerals, but beyond — offering a listening ear, a kind word, and compassionate care when it’s needed most.

Let’s keep the conversation going.
Let’s break the silence around grief.
Let’s support one another.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you.

Every journey begins with a seed. In grief, that seed is pain - but it can also hold the promise of growth. Even in the darkest soil, something new can take root. This week, we reflect on how grief shapes us and how, over time, we can grow through it.
We’re proud to support The Good Grief Trust during National Grief Awareness Week.

🎄💔 Grief at Christmas 💔🎄
From all of us at Kelly of Mill Hill Funeral Directors, we know that for many, Christmas is not always the most wonderful time of the year.

If you're grieving the loss of a loved one, the lights, the music, and the celebrations can feel especially heavy. Please know you're not alone. ❤️

This season, it’s okay to:
✨ Say no to events that feel overwhelming
✨ Create new traditions or hold on to old ones
✨ Feel joy and sadness at the same time
✨ Take quiet moments to reflect and remember

If you need someone to talk to or would like support during this time, we're here for you — not just as funeral directors, but as people who care.

🌸 Free CPD-Accredited Training for Care Home Staff 🌸

We know that working with death and grief can be challenging, and it’s not always easy to talk about. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Hospice UK to offer free CPD-accredited training for care home staff, covering palliative care, grief, emotional burnout, and the practical aspects of supporting families after a loss.

Our sessions will help your team:
✅ Build confidence
✅ Improve communication when discussing loss
✅ Understand how to support residents and families
✅ Access practical guidance for tricky questions from families
✅ Boost staff wellbeing and morale

All sessions count towards your staff’s CPD hours, helping them develop professionally while supporting their team and residents.

We can come to your premises at a time that suits you, and we’re flexible with group or 1-to-1 sessions to fit staffing levels. Plus, refreshments will be provided!

If you think this would benefit your team, get in touch with us — we’d love to help.

Meet the Team – Cheryl

This is Cheryl, our Cluster Lead at Dignity, Funeral Arranger, and Masonry Expert.

What inspired you to work in the funeral profession?
I grew up very close to Golders Green Crematorium and always admired the prestige of funerals. As I got older, I realised I also had a passion for helping people.

What do you find most rewarding about your role?
Knowing that I have given my best to every family. After years of experience, I can confidently offer families a wide range of choices and guide them in fulfilling their wishes.

How long have you worked in the industry?
22 years.

What does a typical day look like for you?
Emails! I support my team with their day-to-day needs, look after masonry clients (mainly at Kelly’s), and book funerals.

What makes your branch special?
We are directly opposite Hendon Crematorium. The branch itself is welcoming, spacious, and well-presented.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Watching football and Formula 1, going to rock concerts, and enjoying BBQs.

Something people might be surprised to learn about you?
I’m actually shy!

Do you have a personal motto or value you live by?
Laugh every day.

How do you support families with memorials, funeral planning, or specific services?
After 22 years of working across London, I’ve built a strong knowledge of care, memorials, and what’s possible for funerals. When families feel unsure, even a simple chat helps me guide them through their options and explain what can be done.

What would you like people to know about you and your role?
It truly is the best job in the world. Yes, the pressure is high, but being organized helps. This is my first leadership role, which can be challenging at times, but having such a great team around me is the best thing I could hope for.

A Personal Touch

Go-to karaoke song: S*x on Fire by Kings of Leon (Metallica doesn’t go down too well in my local pub!)

Tea or coffee? Coffee – with an extra shot, please.

Perfect day off: By the river, with good company.

Dinner guest (famous): Queen Elizabeth I.

Dinner guest (personal): My Nan, who sadly passed before I was born

Planning ahead doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
Our local teams are here for you to listen, support and explain everything clearly.
Book a branch appointment or pop in when it suits you.

A huge thank you to Age UK Barnet for welcoming us to speak at the Your Money, Your Way event.

It was a truly informative morning with a range of brilliant speakers and plenty of important questions from attendees. We were grateful for the opportunity to talk about funerals and the benefits of funeral planning and to help bust some common myths along the way.

Some of the questions we answered included:

What is a green funeral?

Can I donate my body to medical research?

How do I pay for a funeral in advance?

If you’ve ever wondered about these things or have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out. No question is too small, and we’re always happy to help.

We look forward to supporting the incredible work that Age UK Barnet continues to do for the community.
