As Christmas and the New Year come to an end and everyones head back to work tomorrow, let’s try to carry some positivity with us into the year ahead.

Set a few small goals, be kind to one another, check in on those around you, and remember that even the toughest days can be made lighter with a smile or a kind word.

Here’s to making this year one of compassion, strength, and positive moments to help carry us all through. 💙

✨ As we close our office for the final time in 2025, we would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued support throughout the year.

As the clock strikes midnight and we welcome in the New Year, please raise a glass to all your loved ones in heaven. Though they are no longer with us, they are never far from our hearts and tonight, they will have the very best view of the fireworks lighting up the sky.

Wishing everyone a peaceful, healthy, and happy New Year. May 2026 bring comfort, hope, and cherished memories. 💙✨

✨ Missing Loved Ones at Christmas ✨

I came across a song today and felt like I needed to share it with you all.

This time of year can feel especially hard. While people are talking about cosy nights, twinkling lights, and the magic of Christmas, many are quietly missing someone who should still be here.

An empty chair. A familiar laugh that’s no longer heard. A presence felt in every memory and tradition.

If Christmas feels different for you, please know you are not alone. It’s okay to smile, and it’s okay to feel sad. Grief doesn’t take a break for the festive season and neither does love.

We hold you and your loved ones in our thoughts this Christmas. 🤍

Sometimes families want something a little different…

This week we had the honour of helping a family find a very special vehicle for their loved one. Over the years we’ve seen many hearses, but this one truly stood out.

It was a privilege to help create a farewell that was personal, meaningful, and a true reflection of the life being celebrated.

I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along yesterday afternoon and braved the cold. I’m honestly lost for words. I cannot thank you all enough for the love, support, and warmth you brought with you.

To see Minster Abbey filled with over 200 people was truly incredible. It means more than I can ever express.

This year, we chose The Wisdom Hospice as our charity, and thanks to the kindness and generosity of everyone who attended, we raised an amazing £333.21. Your support will make a real difference. ❤️

Thank you all for making the service so special.

🎄 Sadly Our Nutcracker Has Been Stolen 🎄

We are disappointed to share that someone has stolen our Nutcracker from outside the front of our funeral home.

Every year, we do our very best to make Christmas a little brighter for the children who visit us — creating a warm, welcoming space where they can feel comfortable, write letters to their loved ones in heaven, and find a bit of magic during a difficult time.

It’s upsetting that something meant to bring comfort and joy has been taken. If anyone has seen anything or knows where it may be, we would be grateful if you could let us know.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us — we won’t let this dampen our Christmas spirit. ❤️✨
