🎤 Speaking From the Heart

Giving a eulogy once followed strict etiquette, formal, brief, and often delivered by a minister. Now, more families encourage open tributes, shared memories, even humour.

💬 Because love isn’t always formal and grief doesn’t follow rules.

👪 Families Taking the Lead

Years ago, the funeral director made most of the decisions. Today, we have seen that families are much more involved in planning every detail, from music and dress code to who carries the coffin.

🤝 It’s a move towards hands-on, heartfelt goodbyes.

🌿 Eco-Friendly Farewells

Traditional funerals used to rely heavily on embalming, polished coffins and large floral displays. Now, natural burials, biodegradable coffins and wildflower plots are becoming the norm.

🌱 The etiquette of “respect” is changing…simplicity and sustainability are now deeply valued.

🕊️ Personalisation Over Formality

It wasn’t long ago that funerals in the UK followed a strict script. Today, families are choosing readings, songs, photos and themes that truly reflect the person they’ve lost.

🎶📸 From favourite football scarves to personalised orders of service, the etiquette is shifting towards meaning, not formality.

Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that love, without a place to go, starts to hurt. - Jamie Anderson
