We’re pleased to announce the return of Light a Candle this Christmas!

Taking part in this Christmas’s Light a Candle gives you the opportunity to create online memorials throughout the festive period.

Christmas is a special time to celebrate with family and friends, and our virtual candles are a thoughtful way to pay tribute to loved ones who are no longer with us.

We'll be sharing virtual candles on our page between 15 and 21 December. There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We look forward to sharing your memorials from 15 December.

We really can't believe how quickly time has gone by since we let you know the date, back in October, for our "Mince Pies & Memories" charity event.

Well, it's next Thursday, so we thought we should share a little reminder.

We have lots of lovely tombola prizes, and some great raffle prizes too. Oh, and not forgetting the yummy cakes!

As always, all funds raised on the day go to support the work of Cotswold Friends

We look forward to seeing you all next week.

Wishing you all a peaceful weekend.

With the festive season upon us, we have put our "Memory Tree" in place today, with heart tags for you to write and hang on it's branches, in memory of loved ones lost. As you can see, there are a few already there.

It is such a difficult time of year for many people, so if you think it might bring a little comfort, pop in and place a heart on our tree, and maybe take one of our little candles home with you to light in their memory too.

Wishing you all strength and peace this weekend.

Did you know that some national direct cremation providers transport loved ones hundreds of miles away to centralised crematoria? This can mean delays, unexpected costs and a less personal experience for families.

At Allen & Son, we do things differently. As a local, independent funeral director, we offer:

A personal and compassionate approach
Local cremation, keeping your loved one close to home
Transparent pricing – no hidden extras
Support before, during, and after the cremation

Direct cremation can be a simple yet dignified choice, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Want to learn more? Contact us to chat through further details.

Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend.
