A celebration of life is a very important part of the grieving process. I work with any funeral director to support you with a bespoke memorial service but even if you are having a 'non attended' funeral, please give me a call to discuss how you can still have a ceremony to celebrate your loved ones life 🥰

November 21st Funeral Celebrant Day
A day to create awareness about funeral celebrants and what we do.
Our role is to support bereaved families by creating and presenting the best final farewell for their loved one, and to liaise with the funeral arranger so the families wishes are followed.
IF a family choose to have a 'direct cremation' a non attended Funeral, then funeral celebrants can still support with a celebration of life ceremony held in more relaxed surroundings,that final farewell is such an important part of the grieving process, so please do get in touch to discuss this further 🕊

Why Autumn & Winter Are the Best Time for Tree Work 🍂

As we move deeper into the colder months, it’s actually the perfect time to carry out tree work around your property. Here’s why:

✅ Trees are entering dormancy
Most species slow down in autumn and winter, meaning pruning and reductions place less stress on the tree and promote healthy regrowth in spring.

✅ Nesting season has finished
With the main bird nesting season (March–August) behind us, it’s a safer and more wildlife-friendly window for hedge cutting and crown works.

✅ Leaf drop reveals structure
With leaves gone or thinning, we can clearly see the tree’s framework, making it easier to identify deadwood, crossing branches, and structural issues.

✅ Prepare for winter weather
Removing weak or heavy limbs reduces the risk of storm damage, fallen branches, or emergency call-outs when the winds pick up.

✅ Better access and less garden disruption
Cooler, firmer ground means less impact on lawns and borders when bringing equipment onto site.

If you’re considering tree work, now is an ideal time to get it done ✔️

A celebration of life is a vital part of the grieving process, it can be held at a venue of your choice, a social club, village hall or a hotel lounge, in relaxed surrounding to celebrate your loved ones life with drinks and nibbles, with no time restriction it is a totally different experience, and is ideal if a direct cremation has been chosen.

Sunday October 5th we attended a fun event organised by Jon Lovell, to raise funds for Kenward Trust.

A total of £660 was raised, which means two more schools will benefit from a visit from Kenward Trust making them aware of the dangers of taking drugs.
