🎓✨ Excellence in Every Detail – Congratulations Sam! ✨🎓

We’re beyond proud to share that Sam has officially passed her final theory embalming exam! 💀👏

After three years of dedication, study, and sheer determination, Sam’s achievement is more than just a qualification — it’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 — because every family deserves the very best.

Alongside this incredible milestone, Sam is also working towards her Level 3 Diploma in Funeral Directing — and she’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 — with compassion, transparency, and a commitment to continual learning, both in front of and behind the scenes.

💚 Today is World Mental Health Day 💚

At Elite Funeral Services, we know that grief doesn’t end when the funeral does — 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 — whether through grief, anxiety, or simply the weight of life’s challenges. It’s okay to not be okay. Talking, sharing, and reaching out for help can truly make a difference. 💭

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 — not only in times of loss, but whenever someone needs compassion, understanding, or a quiet moment of care.

Let’s keep breaking the silence, supporting one another, and reminding our community that nobody walks alone. 💚

The Smallest Coffins Carry the Heaviest Weight 💔

𝘖𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘓𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘈𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩 — 𝘢 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘧.

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

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

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

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

We’ve supported many families through the unimaginable pain of baby loss — 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 — we see you, we honour your baby’s life, and we’re here for you every step of the way.

With love, always,
Sam and Jo x

10 Years On – A Personal Reflection from Sam, Director of Elite Funeral Services.

Today marks 10 years since I lost my dad — a milestone that still feels surreal. Grief doesn’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 life’s most difficult moments, I found myself being drawn into funeral care — not just as a profession, but as a personal mission.

💜 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. I’ve lived it.

That promise still guides everything me and Jo do. And I’m incredibly proud that this year, we were recognised as ‘Low Cost Funeral Service of the Year’ by the AGFD (Association of Green Funeral Directors). Not because we cut corners — but because we put people before profit, always.

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

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

This work is more than a job. It's a calling. And it’s a promise.
And it’s one we will always keep. 💐

– Sam
Director, Elite Funeral Services

💜 Private, gentle guidance through planning and arrangements

After a busy weekend supporting families with love and care, we’re starting the new week ready to give the same dedication and compassion to those who need us. 💜

Mondays might not be everyone’s favourite, but for us it’s a fresh chance to make a difference — and that’s something we never take for granted.

Here’s to the week ahead.

Yesterday we had the honour of looking after the final journey of Philip Noon. 💙

It was a small and intimate gathering, filled with love, laughter and music — 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. ⚽

Those who knew Philip will remember his love for karaoke, so it was only fitting that the service ended with “My Way” — the perfect reflection of a life lived on his own terms. 🎶

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

25/09/2025

No clocks. No closing time. No “Sorry, we’re closed” signs. No call centres or answering services.

We are always open.

Because love, loss, and life don’t follow business hours.

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

Whether it’s Sunday dinner or 2 a.m. on New Year’s Day — We are always just one phone call away.

💜 24 hours a day
💜 7 days a week
💜 365 days a year

Yesterday, we said a final goodnight to Baby Abel. 💙

“Some Angels never walk this earth, but their footsteps leave a mark on our hearts forever”.

Goodnight, Beautiful Abel. 💙

💜 Proud Winners – AGFD Awards 2025 💜

We are over the moon to share that Elite Funeral Services has been named Best Low Cost Funeral Provider 2025 at this year’s AGFD Awards. 🏆

This recognition is extra special to us, because it proves what we’ve always believed: just because we are cheaper, doesn’t mean our standards are lower. Every family deserves dignity, compassion, and quality — without unnecessary costs.

At the Leicester Space Centre awards evening, our very own Sam collected the award on behalf of the team — and was overcome with pride to see Elite recognised on such a stage. 💐

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.
