✨ A Thought to Share ✨

I heard something at a funeral recently that really stayed with me, and I felt I should share it with you all.

✨ Good luck to all the children starting school and those moving up a year! ✨

School can be tough at times, but remember – these years are shaping your future. Don’t wish the days away; make the most of the good friends, the laughs, and even the teachers who push you to do your best.

One day, you’ll look back and realise how much school taught you – not just from books, but about life, friendship, and hard work.

Life isn’t always easy, but if you put the effort in now, you’ll be proud of the rewards that come later.

From all of us here, we wish you the very best for the year ahead – you’ve got this! 🌟

📖 A Little Look Behind the Scenes 📖

Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create a brochure that we can share with the families we care for.

This brochure is designed to make things that little bit easier during a difficult time – providing clear information, guidance, and support when it’s needed most.

A huge thank you to the wonderful companies and people who helped us bring this project together – your support has been invaluable, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

We’re proud of what we’ve created and look forward to sharing it with the families we serve. 💜

Today, we had the honour of arranging a beautiful dove release for a family saying their goodbyes. 🕊️
The release of doves is such a special and symbolic moment — representing peace, love, and the soul’s journey to a place of rest. It’s a gentle reminder that while our loved ones may no longer be with us, their spirit is forever free.

We captured this photo to share the beauty and meaning of the moment — a touching farewell filled with love and hope.

🌤 Sunday Morning Thoughts 🌤

As a funeral director, I’m often reminded just how precious and short life can be.

So today, I just want to say this…

Be kind. Be present. Make the effort.
Call that friend, visit that family member, smile at a stranger.
You only get one life—so live it with love, laughter, and purpose.

Let’s not wait for a reason to show we care.
Make today count.

Wishing you all a peaceful and positive Sunday

Our Online Keepsake Shop is Now Live 🌿

As part of the care we provide to every family, we offer the option of taking a digital fingerprint of your loved one — a precious, lasting memory we securely store on our system.

https://lafuneraldirectors.co.uk/

We’re proud to now offer an online shop where you can browse a range of beautifully crafted keepsakes. From fingerprint jewellery to ashes keepsakes, we’re here to help you hold on to the ones you love in a meaningful way.

Even if we don’t hold your loved one’s fingerprint, we may still be able to create something special using a photo, handwriting, or a fingerprint you already have.

💙 A small piece to hold, a memory to treasure forever.

I did it! 💪 50km WALK COMPLETE!
From Worcester to Birmingham — 63,000 steps later and my feet are absolutely killing… but every step was worth it to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK.

We are at £13,502 💙💙💙

This challenge pushed me to my limits, but knowing it was for such an important cause kept me going. 1 in 8 men in the UK will be affected by prostate cancer — and that’s why we walk, we share, and we support.

Thank you to everyone who’s donated, shared, or sent messages of encouragement. There’s still time to help us hit (or smash!) our target 💙

Saturday 19th July, Luke Allum will be walking 50km from Worcester to Birmingham along the canal — all to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. By raising both awareness and funds, we can help save lives and support the many families impacted by this disease.

I’d be truly grateful for your support — whether it’s through a donation, sharing this post, or simply cheering me on as I take on this challenge.

Together, we can make a real difference. 💙
Let’s fight prostate cancer, one step at a time.

Help Ross Hickton raise money to support PROSTATE CANCER UK

This recent funeral was a beautiful example of that promise — a dignified send-off with a traditional hearse, four matching limousines, and a striking motorcycle hearse leading the way. Our entire fleet was perfectly coordinated, because we believe the final journey should reflect respect, care, and individuality.

Whatever our families ask for, we’ll always do our very best to make it happen.
