Yesterday we were asked the question:

"Do your drivers co-ordinate their driving playlists?”

So, we asked around… and the results did not disappoint!

Here is what was actually playing in our cars on the way to yesterday's trade hire in Guilford:

🚗 Damo – Taylor Swift – Ophelia
🚗 Dean – Bucks Fizz – Making Your Mind Up
🚗 Gaz – Chris Stapleton – Tennessee Whisky
🚗 Grant – N-Trance – Set You Free
🚗 Lee – LadBaby – Sausage Roll Song
🚗 Nev – Modern Talking – Cheri Cheri Lady
🚗 Nik – Little Drummer Boy – Bing Crosby
🚗 Rob – Elton John – Bennie and the Jets
🚗 Tiv – The Alternative Christmas Album

From Christmas classics to club anthems, country soul to pure novelty… our team certainly keeps the miles interesting!

If you’ve got a favourite road-trip song, let us know below — we love seeing what everyone else listens to on the road! 🎧✨

🌹 Lest We Forget 🌹

A huge congratulations to Jess, Russ, Beryl and Sam at our Arnold branch for their beautifully crafted award-winning Remembrance window.

🕊️ At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

At 11am this Remembrance Sunday, we pause, along with people across the nation, to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our country.

As we observe the two minutes’ silence, we share this moving rendition of The Last Post, performed by our colleague Colum.

His performance serves as a tribute to the bravery, dedication and selflessness of all who have served both past and present.

We will remember them.

Fridays are always busy for funerals, but today is especially busy!

Matthew has just logged onto our vehicle tracking system to see where everyone is, and as you can see from the photo, our fleet is out in full force across Nottinghamshire, South Derbyshire and beyond! 🚘🌹

🕊️ Remembrance Sunday Window Displays 2025 🕊️

Each year, our funeral homes, along with our stonemasons and florist, create window displays to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Traditionally, we’ve asked someone with a military background to help us choose the winning display, but this year we’re doing things a little differently…

✨ We’re inviting YOU to vote! ✨

Take a look through the photos of this year’s remembrance windows and show your support by leaving a like (or any reaction) on the one you think is best.

Please remember that each of our funeral homes has a different amount of space to work with, so keep that in mind when casting your vote.

🗳️ Voting closes at 10:59am on Tuesday 11th November 2025, just before the nation falls silent in remembrance.

Thank you for helping us honour those who served and continue to serve. 🌺

🌟 Congratulations to Paul Richardson on 5 years with us! 🌟

This month we’re delighted to celebrate Paul with Richardson, who has reached an amazing five years of service 👏

Paul originally joined us to lend a hand during a particularly busy period, but with his caring nature and professionalism, he has became a permanent fixture. Five years later, Paul continues to support families with compassion and dedication as Funeral Director at our Carlton funeral home.

With a background in farming, Paul brings a grounded, practical approach and a calm presence to what he does.

Thank you, Paul, for all you do. Here’s to the next five years! 💛

ThankYouPaul

We were honoured to provide two Rolls-Royce Phantom VI vehicles for the funeral of cricket legend Dickie Bird today.

A true icon of the game and a gentleman remembered with great affection, it was a privilege to play a small part in his final journey. 🏏
