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 Ronald Cogan & Sons, 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.

🌼 DIRECT CREMATIONS 🌼
Opting for a larger corporate company for direct cremations may result in uncertainty regarding the location and date of the cremation. In contrast, selecting a local independent funeral director guarantees a more personalised experience.

Should you opt for a direct cremation, our team guarantees a compassionate and professional service, ensuring that your loved one receives the dignified farewell they deserve. Rest assured that we will look after your loved one with the highest level of care, reflecting the same commitment we provide in all aspects of our service.

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.

12/06/2025

Father's Day can be a difficult day for all sorts of reasons. If you would like time and space to reflect in a space where it is ok to not be ok, we will be holding a service at Haltemprice Crematorium on Sunday 15th June at 10.30am.

At Ronald Cogan & Sons Funeral Directors, We are always here to help guide you through your options with care and understanding.

🌿 Who Can Lead a Funeral? More Options Than You Might Think 🌿

Many people don't realise it, but anyone can conduct a funeral service. While religious leaders are a traditional choice, there are several meaningful options available, depending on your loved one's beliefs and wishes.

💒 Religious Leaders
Perfect for those with strong faith or traditional values. They offer spiritual guidance and often ongoing support after the service.

🌼 Civil Celebrants
Flexible and personal—can include or exclude religious elements based on your preferences.

🌈 Humanist Celebrants
Non-religious and focused entirely on celebrating a life well lived, with kindness and compassion.

👪 Family or Friends
Yes, you can lead the service yourself—or share the role with loved ones. It can be a deeply personal way to say goodbye.

Whatever path you choose, it's about honouring your loved one in a way that feels right for you. We're always here to help guide you through your options with care and understanding.

💔 Myths & Facts About Grief 💭

Grief is deeply personal, and sadly, many myths around it can make people feel even more alone. Let’s break some of those down:
🔹 Myth: The pain will go away faster if you ignore it.

Fact: Avoiding the pain only delays healing. Facing your grief—however slowly or gently—is key to processing your loss and eventually finding peace.

🔹 Myth: You must “be strong” for others.
Fact: Feeling sad, angry, or afraid is not weakness—it’s human. Being honest about your emotions helps you heal and can be a comfort to those around you too.

🔹 Myth: If you don’t cry, you didn’t care enough.
Fact: Not everyone expresses grief the same way. Some cry, others reflect quietly, write, walk, or simply sit in silence. All are valid.
🔹 Myth: Grieving should last about a year.

Fact: There is no deadline for grief. It unfolds differently for everyone—some heal in months, others in years. Be kind to your own pace.

🔹 Myth: Moving on means forgetting.
Fact: You never have to forget the person or thing you lost. Moving forward means carrying their memory with you in a new way—not erasing it.

💬 The Grieving Process
Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your journey may look different depending on your personality, beliefs, and the depth of your loss. It takes time—sometimes longer than we expect—and that’s okay.
Healing isn’t about “getting over it.” It’s about learning to live with the loss, honouring what you’ve lost, and finding moments of light again.

🕊️ Be patient with yourself. There’s no rush. You’re not alone.
At Ronald Cogan & Sons Funeral Directors, we are here for a chat—whenever you’re ready.
Whether you need someone to listen, a space to share, or just a moment of connection, we're here for you. 💙

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Written by Mary Elizabeth Frye

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there.
I did not die.
