As we welcome the New Year, we pause to reflect on the lives remembered, the families supported, and the moments of connection that shaped the year just passed.

The turning of the year reminds us that while time moves forward, love and memories remain everlasting. We are deeply grateful to the families who entrusted us to walk beside them during some of life’s most meaningful and difficult moments.

May the year ahead bring comfort, peace, and gentle hope to all. Wherever you are on your journey, know that you are not alone.

Wishing you a New Year filled with remembrance, healing, and moments of quiet light.

Happy New Year from all of the staff at John Bardgett & Sons. 🤍

On Saturday we had the privilege of hosting our Annual Remembrance service at St James & St Basil Church.

This is always a very special day for us as we invite all those who have lost someone during the last 12 months to come and be surrounded by people who are all going through the same thing.

With almost 200 people attending this year the church was filled so much love and it was a poignant way to begin the festive season by lighting Candles that were placed on the alter and writing messages on tags that hung on the church tree. At the end of the service those messages were removed and now take pride of place on the Christmas Tree at our office on Westgate Road.

From all the staff we would like to wish you all a peaceful Christmas and know that we are always here ♥️
