Twyman and Holmes Funeral Directors

✍️ A message to families this Christmas ✍️

As your funeral director, we know that the holiday season can bring a special kind of heartache. Christmas lights, familiar songs, and cherished traditions can stir memories that feel both beautiful and unbearably heavy. Grief has its own rhythm, and it doesn’t pause for the holidays. ❤️

If you are entering this season with an empty chair at the table, please know that our thoughts are with you. It’s okay to feel joy one moment and sorrow the next. It’s okay to celebrate differently this year — or not at all. Your way through this season is the right way.

✨ Be gentle with yourself.
✨ Allow space for your grief, and space for your memories.
✨ Lean on others when you need support.

This Christmas, may you find small moments of peace, quiet strength, and comfort in the love that still surrounds you. And please remember — you don’t walk this path alone. We are here for you, not just on the hardest days, but through the tender ones too.

Wishing you warmth and compassion this holiday season. 💛

From all at Twyman and Holmes 🙏🏼

We've had a new funeral operative join our team!😁

Andy worked for us back in 1996 as a casual bearer. He has also in the last few months been working for us, again as a casual bearer.
Now, Andy has become a full time member of staff and has already shown that he's going to be a great addition to our team.

Welcome to the team Andy Biggy Biggers Bigginton 😁

The Abigial cooling cot has arrived. Thank you to the family that had raised the money to then donate the cot to us, it will benefit soo many families in the future and we will be forever grateful.

Abigail's Footsteps are a baby loss charity, who's aim is to improve the care given around stillbirth and neonatal bereavement. With one in every 200 babies being stillborn (around 14 stillborn and neonatal deaths per day in the UK), Britains figures are among the worst in the developed world.

They provide care and support to families who have suffered a bereavement, as well as education for healthcare professionals directly involved with caring for bereaved parents. Their fundraising pays for specialist midwifery bereavement training courses and the provision of Abi cooling cots to maternity units, to allow parents to spend additional time with their baby. They also work with hospitals to advise on the sensitive layout and creation of bereavements suites that provides parents privacy and locates them away from maternity wards. This year they have also seen the launch of their specialist baby loss counselling programme which funds sessions to help bereaved families once they’ve returned home.

Kevin,

Kevin is a Funeral Director from Denmark who made contact with us a month or so ago explaining that he will be coming over to England and would like to see how we carry out our service compared to how they do things in Denmark.
Let's just say we do things very differently over here!

It has been very interesting to learn how the process works over in Denmark compared to here in the UK. It was also clear to see Kevin is very passionate about the funeral industry and is a great advert for Funeral Directors.
