Meet the staff

This is Ceanne Reid, she is a Funeral Service Specialist and has been with the company for over 4 years.

Hobbies: What are those? Her children’s hobbies are her hobbies 😂

Reason for doing the job: She's wanted to do this job since 7 years old when her grandfather passed away. Being so young she was curious to know how he got from the hospital to the church and then to the cemetery. Once her grandmother passed away in 2021 she finally got the courage to apply

Interesting fact: In 2024 she decided to start her own girls football team as her eldest daughter is a football fanatic and unfortunately she couldn’t find an all girls team in the area so started her own.

❄️ A Little Winter Weather Update ❄️

We’re expecting some snow and widespread frost across the West Midlands this coming week, so we just wanted to share a gentle reminder to take extra care when you’re out and about 🌨️

If you’re travelling to visit us, attending a service, or supporting a loved one, please allow a bit of extra time for your journey. Roads and pathways may be slower than usual, and your safety is always what matters most to us.

Our caring team at Roberts & Brain Funeral Directors will be here as always—ready to support you, keep you updated, and look after every family with warmth and dignity, whatever the weather brings.

Please stay safe, travel carefully, and take care of one another this week. ❄️

🎄 Grief at Christmas 🎄

Christmas is a time for joy, family, and celebration BUT for many, it can be one of the hardest times of the year.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday.
The empty seat at the table, a song that sparks memories, or the traditions that feel incomplete without a loved one can make it all feel overwhelming.

If you're finding this Christmas difficult, know you're not alone.

🕊 It’s okay to feel the sadness
🕊 To take things one day at a time
🕊 To honour your feelings in your own way

💬 Talking can help, with friends & family. Reaching out might bring you some comfort.

So to anyone navigating loss this Christmas, remember

🫶 Be kind to yourself
🫶 It’s okay to lean on others when you need to

🕊️ You are not alone.
