We at Hawden & Burgess Family Funeral Directors will always show our support to remember and honour the fallen men & women who gave up civilian life, a peaceful existence, their families when called upon, or voluntarily to throw themselves into a combat situation in order to protect this nation, its people, it’s very existence. A lot of young men and woman paid the ultimate sacrifice never to return home alive, lots came back permanently fighting their own private battles, often without help or understanding of their condition, sadly many ending up joining their lost comrades. To all the service men and women lost in combat throughout time, from all theatres of operation we thank you. We are grateful for your selfless sacrifice in keeping Great Britain and its allies safe from tyranny. At the beginning of the day and when the sun goes down, we will always remember them. XX

We were given the honour by Sharon, and the family of Kevin Crawley, our very important guest in looking after him, but as equally as importantly looking after Sharon as well as Kevin’s family as the family, they are the ones left behind and who need our love, care, support, guidance and dedication which we are always ready to give 24/7. On the day of Kevin’s special journey, what a fitting way to travel than in a Victorian horse drawn hearse supplied by Just Funerals Horse Drawn At Just Dandy Horse And Carriage. Kevin made his way in style to Hoo Church with his family and friends paying their respects by accompanying Kevin, walking with him to the Church to the sounds of Misty Blue, by Dorothy Moore. Kevin was laid to rest to the beautiful song, Arms of the Angel sung by Sarah McLachlan. Thank you Sharon as well as to Kevin’s family for putting your trust in us to give your wonderful Kevin a truly special final journey. Kevin my friend, you are truly loved by Sharon, as well as everyone around who knew you. Sleep well and fly high with the Angels. XX

Good evening everybody, just like to post a quick informative message to say it is our fifth year anniversary at Hawden & Burgess Family Funeral Directors, it has been five years yesterday that I, together with my wonderful partner Jacqueline Stone, took possession of the keys to this special place in our hearts. We would like to thank all of our families who have entrusted us to look after them as well as their lost loved ones, it is always an honour to be given that trust and privilege which is one we don’t take lightly. We truly believe that you all become part of our family when you come through either of our doors so will always go that extra mile for everyone, as the care never stops. We have such a great team around us whom we trust to give the same love care and professionalism as myself and Jackie so we thank all of our team as without you we would not be able to function as well as well do. But the biggest thank you goes to you all, we absolutely love what we do and hope to continue looking after all our families both present & future. So here is to the next five years. Cheers 🥂 everyone. XX

Good afternoon everyone, especially the residents of Grain Village. This post is being posted on behalf of the family of Doreen May.

We are privileged in being given the absolute honour of looking after Doreen, as well as her family.
