Wow! 😘 I was truly blown away by this wonderful testimonial for a funeral service I took yesterday for a well loved Dad, Grandad & Great- Grandad 🙏🏽 what moved me the most was that a man who’d been an only child, completely filled the chapel with his very large and loving family ♥️ I was honoured to be the celebrant for this service and really appreciate this amazing review x thank you to The Vincent Family ♥️

Today I was honoured to lead the funeral service of a well loved father, grandfather & great-grandfather. 92 years of a life filled with love, laughter, cuddles and friendship x
Gerry was a true gentleman, he worked as a Compositor and was the last metal typesetter in the City of London . He was a man of habits that became part of family life ,often seen with a pipe, a pint or holding a baby. He was simply sitting in the middle of it all, surrounded by noise, laughter, and the people he loved most. His home was always open. You didn’t need an invitation, you just walked in and belonged.
🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

This is good news re
Direct Cremations ! 🙏🏽

Law Commission Publishes Proposed Reforms to Burial and Cremation laws

On 18th March the Law Commission published the above report which you can read in full on this link: https://lawcom.gov.uk/publication/burial-and-cremation-final-report/
The report includes research on direct cremation and everyone in the industry will be pleased to see that it includes the following proposal for transparency for Direct Cremation:
‘The Law Commission's proposal: To address risks associated with the rapid rise of direct cremation, the Commission recommends that operators be required to inform those arranging the funeral exactly where and when it will happen, or confirm when and where it happened if that information is not available at the time of arrangement.’
SAIF has responded to this with the following statement:
‘While we welcome steps towards greater transparency, we believe these recommendations must go further to protect consumers from the opaque nature of national online models. SAIF is calling for a mandatory requirement that all direct cremation providers disclose the full chain of third-party contractors involved in their infrastructure. Families deserve to know exactly who is handling their loved one, including the specific logistics used for transportation. Without this granular transparency, families remain in the dark regarding the standard of care their relative receives.’
It remains to be seen how far the transparency will go but at least it is encouraging that it is in the report.
N.B This applies to England

At a public meeting held last night at The Leigh Community Centre, councillors voted 3-1 in favour which is a positive sign 🙏🏽 some of the people in opposition were comparing this community project with the pubs along Old Leigh without taking into consideration that the variety of licensed venues create different environments, atmospheres & attracts different clientele.
Thank you for your support 😊

💜An excerpt from a poem Nina’s son wrote to honour her life ……🙏🏽💜
“To your grandkids, you were Nanny Nina,
Otherwise, simply Nina or sis to some,
But to us, your three grown boys,
You will forever be just our ‘Mum’.
Growing up, you were always there for us,
Our friend, our teacher, and our rock.
Loving, giving, and self-sacrificing,
And never seen watching the
clock. You taught us all our main values
To be open and caring, always to be kind,
About hard work and need too, for laughter,
And to nurture both knowledge and mind.”
A beautiful & loving gentle farewell to a dear mum, a true hippie at heart 🌸 Rest in Peace dear Nina x 🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
