๐ŸŽ“โœจ Excellence in Every Detail โ€“ Congratulations Sam! โœจ๐ŸŽ“

Weโ€™re beyond proud to share that Sam has officially passed her final theory embalming exam! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ‘

After three years of dedication, study, and sheer determination, Samโ€™s achievement is more than just a qualification โ€” itโ€™s proof of the standards we hold ourselves to at Elite Funeral Services.

While many talk about care, we train for it. We invest in education, skill, and understanding โ€” because every family deserves the very best.

Alongside this incredible milestone, Sam is also working towards her Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Directing โ€” and sheโ€™s not alone!

Jo is completing the same qualification, as we continue to raise the bar for professionalism and knowledge within our team.

At Elite, we believe in doing death care differently โ€” with compassion, transparency, and a commitment to continual learning, both in front of and behind the scenes.

๐Ÿ’š Today is World Mental Health Day ๐Ÿ’š

At Elite Funeral Services, we know that grief doesnโ€™t end when the funeral does โ€” and neither should the support.

Mental health and emotional wellbeing are just as important as physical health, especially when we face loss, change, and difficult days.

Today, we stand with everyone who may be struggling โ€” whether through grief, anxiety, or simply the weight of lifeโ€™s challenges. Itโ€™s okay to not be okay. Talking, sharing, and reaching out for help can truly make a difference. ๐Ÿ’ญ

We work closely with and can refer families to numerous community support and intervention groups who offer help, guidance, and safe spaces for those who need them. Together, we believe in building a community that listens, supports, and cares.

Our team are always here to listen โ€” not only in times of loss, but whenever someone needs compassion, understanding, or a quiet moment of care.

Letโ€™s keep breaking the silence, supporting one another, and reminding our community that nobody walks alone. ๐Ÿ’š

There is no service harder to carry out, and no grief deeper to witness, than that of a babyโ€™s funeral.

As funeral directors, we say goodbye to people of all ages โ€” but when the life barely began, the silence feels even louder.

And when the coffin is small, the weight is never light โ€” it stays with us long after the service ends.

At Elite Funeral Services, we have created a quiet, sacred space โ€” a dedicated baby chapel, for families to be with their little one in peace and privacy. Thanks to the generosity of Little Acorns, weโ€™re able to offer a cold cot, giving parents the time they need to hold, love, and say goodbye โ€” without rushing a moment that should never have to come.

Weโ€™ve supported many families through the unimaginable pain of baby loss โ€” and every single one of those babies is remembered by us.

To every parent who walks through our doors carrying grief instead of their child โ€” we see you, we honour your babyโ€™s life, and weโ€™re here for you every step of the way.

With love, always,
Sam and Jo x

10 Years On โ€“ A Personal Reflection from Sam, Director of Elite Funeral Services.

Today marks 10 years since I lost my dad โ€” a milestone that still feels surreal. Grief doesnโ€™t work to a timeline, and like many of you, I carry those losses with me every day.

Losing my dad, and later my mum, changed everything. It was during those painful times that I began to truly understand not just the emotional weight of grief, but also the practical and financial pressures that come with saying goodbye to someone you love.

After many years working in health and social care, supporting individuals and families through some of lifeโ€™s most difficult moments, I found myself being drawn into funeral care โ€” not just as a profession, but as a personal mission.

๐Ÿ’œ That mission became Elite Funeral Services

From day one, I promised that no family should be left worrying about how to pay for a funeral, because I know what that stress feels like. Iโ€™ve lived it.

That promise still guides everything me and Jo do. And Iโ€™m incredibly proud that this year, we were recognised as โ€˜Low Cost Funeral Service of the Yearโ€™ by the AGFD (Association of Green Funeral Directors). Not because we cut corners โ€” but because we put people before profit, always.

Every single service we provide is handled with care, dignity, and compassion. We work tirelessly โ€” day and night โ€” to make sure families feel seen, heard, and supported, no matter their circumstances.

So today, as I remember my dad and reflect on all thatโ€™s happened in these 10 years, I also want to thank every family whoโ€™s trusted us to care for their loved ones.

This work is more than a job. It's a calling. And itโ€™s a promise.
And itโ€™s one we will always keep. ๐Ÿ’

๐Ÿ’— October is Baby Loss Awareness Month ๐Ÿ’—

At Elite Funeral Services, we stand in heartfelt solidarity with families who have experienced the unimaginable loss of a baby. Whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or infant death, the pain is profound and enduring โ€” and you are not alone.

Throughout October, we honour the tiny lives gone too soon and the strength of the families who carry their memory every day. We understand that grief has no timeline, and every family's journey is unique.

At Elite Funeral Services, we provide compassionate, respectful, and deeply personalised care for families facing the loss of a baby. Our services include:

๐Ÿ’œ Private, gentle guidance through planning and arrangements

๐Ÿ’œ Custom memorial options for honouring your babyโ€™s memory

๐Ÿ’œ Quiet, family dedicated space for farewells

๐Ÿ’œ Support resources and referrals for grief and healing

We believe every life, no matter how brief, deserves to be honoured with love, dignity, and care.

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ Join us in lighting a candle on October 15th at 7PM as part of the global Wave of Light, a moment to remember all babies gone too soon.

If you or someone you love needs support, please reach out. We are here, always.

After a busy weekend supporting families with love and care, weโ€™re starting the new week ready to give the same dedication and compassion to those who need us. ๐Ÿ’œ

Mondays might not be everyoneโ€™s favourite, but for us itโ€™s a fresh chance to make a difference โ€” and thatโ€™s something we never take for granted.

Hereโ€™s to the week ahead.

Yesterday we had the honour of looking after the final journey of Philip Noon. ๐Ÿ’™

It was a small and intimate gathering, filled with love, laughter and music โ€” just as Philip would have wanted. He was carried in by his family to the sound of the Everton theme tune, a proud nod to the team he supported so passionately. โšฝ

Those who knew Philip will remember his love for karaoke, so it was only fitting that the service ended with โ€œMy Wayโ€ โ€” the perfect reflection of a life lived on his own terms. ๐ŸŽถ

A beautiful farewell for a man who will be greatly missed, and fondly remembered.

No clocks. No closing time. No โ€œSorry, weโ€™re closedโ€ signs. No call centres or answering services.

We are always open.

Because love, loss, and life donโ€™t follow business hours.

Because when you need us most, we show up - With compassion and with care.

Whether itโ€™s Sunday dinner or 2 a.m. on New Yearโ€™s Day โ€” We are always just one phone call away.

๐Ÿ’œ 24 hours a day

๐Ÿ’œ Proud Winners โ€“ AGFD Awards 2025 ๐Ÿ’œ

We are over the moon to share that Elite Funeral Services has been named Best Low Cost Funeral Provider 2025 at this yearโ€™s AGFD Awards. ๐Ÿ†

This recognition is extra special to us, because it proves what weโ€™ve always believed: just because we are cheaper, doesnโ€™t mean our standards are lower. Every family deserves dignity, compassion, and quality โ€” without unnecessary costs.

At the Leicester Space Centre awards evening, our very own Sam collected the award on behalf of the team โ€” and was overcome with pride to see Elite recognised on such a stage. ๐Ÿ’

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing team for their dedication, and to the families who place their trust in us every single day. This one is for you.
