Did you know today is 'World Su***de Prevention Day'

It is estimated that there are currently more than 720,000 su***des per year worldwide, and we know that each su***de profoundly affects many more people. Su***de remains a critical global issue, affecting individuals and communities worldwide.
Changing the narrative on su***de aims to inspire individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about su***de and suicidal behaviour.

Thank you to the family for letting us share this adorable photo🤍

Funerals can be a very confusing time for children. It’s a lot of emotions to process and a lot of overwhelming things happening that they might not fully understand.

During a funeral we conducted last week, this cheeky boy was in the back of our limousine with his family, to keep him distracted and happy our brilliant Funeral Director Bob Somerville lent him his hat to play with and it sure did make everyone giggle!

We absolutely love the photo and are glad that a little bit of laughter could be there on a very sad day🕊️

"Oh that I may learn
To be stronger than my pain,
And that I may find
A way to live again.

Not without you,
But with you,
Always with you,
Who is my all.
