💡 A small update that means a lot to us

We are pleased to have our new signage in place at Ashby Funeral Care. It is another step in continuing to grow as a qualified and local independent funeral director serving Ashby, Scunthorpe and the surrounding area.

While we know we need to keep improving our visibility, what matters most is getting the foundations right. The care, guidance and support we provide to families will always be at the centre of everything we do.

We hope the new signs help brighten this part of Ashby in the evenings and make our premises easier to find for those who need us.

📖 How to Write a Eulogy

Being asked to write a eulogy is often seen as an honour, but it can also feel overwhelming. If you are unsure where to begin, this gentle guide can help you structure your thoughts and create a meaningful tribute for someone special.

▪️What is a eulogy?

A eulogy is a speech or piece of writing that celebrates the life of someone who has died. It is often shared at a funeral or memorial service and can include memories, achievements and the qualities that made them unique.

▪️What to include

When you are unsure where to start, breaking it down into small sections can help.

▪️Biography

Think about their early life. Where they grew up, their childhood, their family and the milestones that shaped them.

▪️Memories

Write down personal memories and speak with close friends and family to gather theirs too. These can be touching, meaningful or even light-hearted moments if appropriate.

▪️Personal Traits

What made them who they were? Consider their personality, their kindness, humour or resilience and how these traits appeared in your memories.

▪️Milestones and Achievements

Share their important moments. Relationships, family life, career, travel, hobbies or accomplishments that brought them joy or pride.

▪️Religious Passages

If they were religious, you may choose to include a reading or quote. If you are unsure, speak with the family.

▪️How to structure a eulogy

• Beginning: Introduce yourself, your connection to the person and acknowledge the people attending.

• Middle: Tell their story. You can go chronologically or build the speech around a theme, combining memories, traits and achievements.

• Conclusion: Offer final reflections. You may end with a quote, a piece of music or simple words of comfort before saying your final goodbye.

▪️Final tips

• Speak to friends and family
• Find themes that feel natural
• Think of it as telling their story
• Make it personal and true to them
• Include quotes or readings if appropriate

🕊️ “I want to thank Simon and his team for their care, compassion and understanding as we arranged mum's funeral. Nothing was rushed, we had time to discuss options and make decisions. The funeral was calm and dignified as mum would have liked.

I have no hesitation at all in recommending Ashby Funeral Care, the service they provide, the attention to detail and the care shown to the family are all excellent.”

📊 Did You Know This About Funeral Planning?

Around 2 out of 5 people who arranged a funeral in 2023 did not know any of their loved ones’ funeral wishes. *More than half did not even know whether they wanted a burial or a cremation.

Having a conversation about your wishes is one of the simplest ways to make things easier for the people you care about. It reduces uncertainty, avoids difficult decisions at an emotional time and ensures your funeral reflects your life.

If you would like guidance on planning ahead or support after a bereavement, our team is here to help with care, professionalism and compassion.

For a simple, dignified and local cremation, choose a pre-paid direct cremation plan from Golden Charter.

At Ashby Funeral Care we’re here to support you.

Remembrance Sunday is a time for reflection and gratitude.

It is a national opportunity to honour the service and sacrifice of all those who have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.
