Gone Riding by David Ritter

Don't cry for me,
I still ride free,
with the wind upon my face,
leather in black,
the sun on my back,
a priceless gift of God's grace .

I'll never grow old, on these streets of gold.
chasing a majestic sunset,
and I still recall, how I love you all,
sweet memories I won't forget.

And when your road ends,
we'll meet again, inside the Pearly Gates.
and we'll laugh awhile and go ride for miles,
but for now,
Heaven can wait.

When you do get here,
don't shed one tear,
and think that I'm in hiding.
Just search Heaven's shore, where engines roar,
and you'll find that I've gone riding

Every Goodbye is Unique

When it comes to saying farewell, there is no “one size fits all.” Families today have many meaningful options when planning a funeral or memorial:

✨ Traditional Funeral Services – A time-honored way to gather, reflect, and celebrate a life well lived.

✨ Cremation Services – Can be combined with a ceremony or kept simple, offering flexibility for families.

✨ Celebrations of Life – A more personal and uplifting tribute, often centered around sharing memories, stories, and favorite things.

✨ Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals – An environmentally conscious choice, focusing on simplicity and sustainability.

No matter what feels right for you and your loved ones, our role is to provide guidance, compassion, and support every step of the way.

Because every life deserves to be honored in a way that feels personal.

Remember by Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:

Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

At its heart, a funeral is not just about saying goodbye — it’s about honoring a life, sharing stories, and beginning the journey of healing together.

As funeral directors, we have the deep privilege of helping families through some of their most tender moments. Every service is unique, because every life is unique. Whether it’s a quiet, intimate gathering or a large celebration of life, our role is to ensure your loved one is remembered with dignity, compassion, and meaning.

If you’ve ever wondered what truly matters in planning a funeral, it’s this: honoring the person in a way that feels right to you. That may include cultural traditions, personal touches, favorite music, or simply the presence of family and friends.

At East Coast Funerals, we are always here — not just when you need us, but even before. Whether you’re planning ahead or facing an unexpected loss, we’re here to guide, support, and listen.

We recently attended the Beccles Hospital Fete, helping to raise funds for the hospital in a lovely community event. The team were there chatting to people and letting them know about the options available and ways to personalise the funerals we offer, with each funeral unique to the family’s wishes.

🌿 A Natural Farewell with East Coast Funeral Directors 🌿

Natural or woodland burials offer a peaceful, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional funerals — and many families are finding comfort in returning their loved one to nature in this gentle, meaningful way.

At East Coast Funerals, we can help you explore local woodland burial grounds and guide you through every step of the process. Whether you have a specific site in mind or would like recommendations, our caring team is here to help.

🌳 Many natural burial sites offer the option to plant a tree as a lasting tribute

💚 Graves are subtly marked to preserve the beauty of the surroundings

💰 Often a more affordable option than traditional burials or cremations

We're here to help you arrange a farewell that reflects your loved one's values and spirit. Speak to our team today for compassionate guidance and support.

There are lots of different options available when it comes to the transport options at a funeral.

A motorcycle hearse is a nice reflection of a bikers passion in life and definitely offers a personal send off for many.

24/06/2025

Direct cremations are growing in popularity, and choosing a local funeral director ensures a more personal and attentive service.

At East Coast Funerals we take the time to truly understand the needs of each family, offering compassionate care and a professional approach.
With East Coast Funerals, your loved one will receive the dignified farewell they deserve, handled with warmth and respect.

For All the Fathers — Then and Now

To the fathers who came before,
With calloused hands and hearts so sure,
Who lit the path with quiet grace,
And left their mark on time and place.

To those whose laughter filled our youth,
Who taught us strength, and love, and truth.
Though some now rest, their spirits stay,
In every word we dare to say.

To fathers walking with us still,
With patient heart and steady will,
Who rise to meet each passing day,
And lead with love in every way.

To new dads learning as they go,
Who hold their child and softly grow.
Your courage shines, your efforts bloom,
In every bedtime story’s tune.

For every hug, for every cheer,
For all you’ve done year after year—
We honor you, both gone and near,
With grateful hearts and joyful tears.

Happy Father’s Day.
