In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

Thursday 13th November 2025 is World Kindness Day.

To me, kindness can often be the little things that go a long way to making someone feel that bit better about themselves or the situation that they find themselves in.

Gratitude, patience, an acknowledgment.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”

Remembrance Sunday 2025.

As we see the poppies adorning our communities, we are reminded of the importance of remembrance- to reflect, to be thankful, and to ensure that their memory lives on for generations to come.

As a small independent business, I am passionate about supporting other local independents too. By recommending a selection of local suppliers for every part of a funeral or wake, I can help families make thoughtful, informed choices that truly reflect their loved ones.

Faith is important for many and can effect the type of funeral that someone would want. An intimate cremation or burial and a bigger celebration of life in a church that has significance to the person who has died is an option which can be chosen by those with a Christian faith.

“No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.”

Taken from the hymn “In Christ Alone”.

There are some things in life we are simply not taught…

No one explains how to plan a funeral or what to do when someone close to us dies. But at some stage, most of us will face that moment.

It’s okay, and important to talk about our wishes. These conversations don’t have to be negative; they can be full of love, understanding, and peace of mind.

Planning ahead helps us and the people we care about feel more prepared. Whilst a compassionate funeral director will support you through every step, I often hear families say they wish they had known what their loved one wanted.

If it is helpful please use this as a conversation starter.
