Bereavement is now to be taught in schools across the North East following the Department for Education (DfE) decision to include Relationships, S*x and Health Education (RSE) guidance, meaning it is now part of the curriculum.

Children in both primary and secondary schools will receive age-appropriate teaching on issues surrounding grief, loss and the impact on relationships and families.

Many congratulations to the hard work put in by our fellow funeral directors and professional bodies to champion the support of young people facing loss.

A truly one-of-a-kind creation - where funeral directors and Land Rover specialists came together to design something both meaningful and practical.

Our customised Land Rover Defender hearse features a lowered deck, allowing families a clear and full view of floral tributes and the coffin alike.

Happy big birthday to John Kinghorn, who turns 50 today, and thank you to Peter Townsend as we mark his 10th anniversary.
