At Harry Thompson Funeral Services, we’re human, just like you.
Every day, we support families through some of life’s most difficult moments. We sit with grief, we carry stories, and we honour lives with care and dignity. But we also believe that, at the right time and in the right place, a gentle laugh can be healing too.
Whether you are grieving a loved one from the past or facing loss at the present moment, especially with so much uncertainty in the world, please know that it’s okay to smile. It’s okay to breathe. It’s okay to laugh.
So here’s a little light-hearted moment from us to you:
“A passenger tapped the cab driver on the shoulder to ask a question...The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, missed a biker, scraped a fire hydrant, and stopped just 3 centimetres from a department store shop window.
For a full 3 seconds everything went quiet in the cab.
Then the driver slowly turned around and said,“Look, don’t ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!”
The passenger apologised and said,“I didn’t realise that a little tap would scare you so much.”
The driver replied,“Sorry, it’s not really your fault. Today is my first day as a taxi driver. I’ve been driving a Hearse for the last 25 years.”
Even in our profession, moments of humour remind us that we’re all navigating life together.
If you need us, whether for guidance, support, or simply a compassionate conversation we’re here.
Always professional. Always personal. And always here for you 📞 01287 643375 24hrs 🎩 🙏🏻 ❤️
