This mornings first job was to venture down the Atlantic Highway to St. Olaf’s Church, Poughill, Bude, Cornwall.

Victor, a former resident of Bish Mill, ashes’ were interred into his parent’s burial plot at the Cornish Churchyard.

As it would have been Victor’s birthday today, close family members Angela and Rosie chose to travel down, witness and pay their last respects to his home coming on this sunny morning.

Yesterday, the sun shone over us in all its glory for family and friends to celebrate the life of Linda Reed.

The horse drawn hearse along with the family set off from Witheridge Sport club / football ground and processed through Witheridge to the Church. As Linda was a former resident and carnival queen, it was only right that she arrived in style. Thank you to Camilla (Tiggy) Waterer for the excellent horsemanship displayed.

Along with the beautiful willow coffin, please feel free to view the glorious floral tributes produced by Harriet @ Harriet’s Flower Room.

Once again, thank you to the family for choosing a small independent family business to look after their loved one.

After coming across this post, Jim Carrey has really captured the feelings and stages our families go through in their grieving process.

Please give it a read ❤️

Jim Carrey once said: Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.

In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is, you never truly "move on." You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that’s okay.

Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember.

There is no timeline, no “right” way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience.

Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing—not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.

This morning we had the stunning Triumph Bonneville arrive from Motorcycle Funerals with around 70 motorcycles to come and pay their respects and celebrate the life of Kevin Barry Foy.

Kev and his wife Trish have spent the majority of their lives producing stunning leather goods, which took them all over the country attending motorcycle shows and rallies selling the unique crafted leather produce.

Steve and the team from Wrap it Graphics produced the stunning gold Celtic boarder around the coffin along with Fenral dogs and tree of life vinyls. Which symbolise a lot of hard work and attention to detail Kev and Trish have embellished not just in their working lives but also in their free time. Kev is widely known and respected in the circuit of bikers for his beautifully produced leather goods.

We had a smooth ride down along the A361 to the Tiverton Hotel to meet up with a even larger group of attendees / bikers to convoy along the M5 with the high number entourage for Kev’s last ride out to the East Devon Crematorium.

Nic Ling a long established friend and ORGI MCC member took a beautiful service for Kev, Trish and family. A truly lovely tribute to a long standing friend. And not forgetting a lovely tribute from Kev’s grandson.

Please feel free to view a few photos from this morning and a video of Trish getting to ride pillion with Kev into the grounds of the crematorium.
