Mother’s Day can bring many different emotions. For some it is a day of celebration, but for others it may be a time of remembrance and reflection for a much-loved mum who is no longer with us.

Today we hold in our thoughts all mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures who have shaped our lives with love, guidance and care. Their influence continues to live on in the memories we cherish and the lessons they gave us.

To anyone who may be missing their mum today, please know that you are not alone. 🤍

As we continue our series of short videos, we speak with Will Whale, one of the celebrants we are proud to work alongside.

In this video, Will shares how his previous role as a police officer helped shape the way he supports families today as a funeral celebrant. His experience working with people during difficult moments in their lives has given him a deep understanding of compassion, listening and guiding families with care and sensitivity.

These qualities help him create services that are thoughtful, personal and truly reflective of the life being remembered.

Look what we found on our doorstep this morning…

A lovely little surprise from Facebook’s Smiles of Sholing. A painted stone left to brighten someone’s day and spread a little kindness within the community. It certainly made our day thank you to whoever left it.

It’s always wonderful to see small acts of positivity like this bringing smiles to people around Sholing. We’ll be sharing the stone as requested and sending a little smile back to whoever left it.

Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most.

At Waters & Sons Funeral Directors, we understand that many families choose to scatter their loved one’s ashes in a place that was meaningful to them.

Our range of scattering tubes provides a practical and dignified way to do this. Designed to be lightweight and easy to use, scattering tubes allow ashes to be released gently and respectfully, whether at sea, in the countryside, or in a special place that held significance during your loved one’s life.

They are also environmentally friendly and biodegradable, making them a thoughtful choice for families who wish to return ashes to nature. Available in a variety of designs and sizes, they offer a simple but meaningful way to create a personal moment of remembrance.

If you would like to learn more about our scattering tubes or discuss your wishes, our team is always here to help guide and support you.

ABOUT US

Our ethos centres on our care and personal service; from the first point of contact (either by telephone or in person) you will be taken gently through the process of collecting your loved one and caring for them, advising and helping you to make the arrangements for the funeral service and supporting you on the day itself by people you will have come to know and trust.

We believe that you should ultimately feel that you have given your loved one the very best, honouring them and reflecting their life in a respectful, dignified and personal way, in either a non-religious, semi-religious or a full faith service...it is entirely your choice to make.

Our funeral packages include direct cremations, simple funerals and bespoke services and every funeral will be tailored to your wishes and requirements.

Our dedicated staff are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and can meet with you either in the comfort of your own surroundings or at our funeral homes.
