There’s an important message here, and some very practical advice. It’s so true, none of us get to choose our last day.

This is just perfect. I read it and had to share. ❤️

I know it’s the hardest thing in the world,
and it’s impossible to explain,
for when you lose someone you love so much,
life will never be the same.
But please don’t let their death,
become the death of you,
let their memory be your strength,
the light that pulls you through.
For they would want you to keep enjoying life,
they would want to see you shine,
to remember that the most important thing
is how we spend our time.
They would want to see you smiling,
they would want to hear your laugh,
as hard as it is to walk without them,
as you continue on your path.
So on the days that feel impossible,
when you feel you can’t go on,
just remember as they’re engraved upon your heart
you’re forever entwined as one.

I lost my dad when I was 30, six years ago, so I do understand how difficult it is, but they really wouldn’t want you to be sad 🫶🏼💫❤️ smile for them ###

"I Didn't Love You"

I’m sharing this in memory of Thomas who was in my care a few months ago aged just 17. A lovely boy who was taken far too young.
We all need to be more aware of this awful cancer. Please share for Thomas.

Sarcomas are rarely considered when children have symptoms such as lumps or pains, allowing the cancer to grow or spread before it is accurately diagnosed. Raising awareness can save lives, so please share! www.sarcomaalliance.org

Hi Penny

Just a quick email to say an enormous thank you to you and the whole team at Safe Hands. We really cannot thank you enough and we are so glad we chose your firm to help us with Dad’s funeral.

You really have made everything so straightforward for us and your help with so many aspects of the day was invaluable. You were practical but also very sensitive! The flowers were amazing - we had so many comments on them and please do pass on our thanks to the florist as they surpassed all our expectations. I’d also like to thank you for your help with the order of service, especially the poem and the drawing of the train. Finally I’d like to say thanks for suggesting Joe as the celebrant, I will speak to him separately but please do thank him on our behalf for doing an absolutely stellar job.

The whole day went exactly as we hoped. It was a very sad day, but also a good one filled with happy memories and stories. The turnout was amazing - far more people than we expected and I really think Dad would have been so pleased with it all.

Thank you so much for everything.

Kind Regards

Louise and Virginia

It was a perfect day, the sun shone, the flowers really were stunningly beautiful and the memories continued to be shared at “the celebration of life” at Cissbury Barns.
Such a privilege to be part of this and be able to help provide a memorable farewell for this lovely family.

Some very good points raised here. Most independent funeral directors also offer direct/private cremation services much like those advertised on TV, only with a more personal touch and similar costs. Definitely worth asking these questions before arranging a direct cremation with online companies.
Please get in touch if you have any questions.
