This week serves as a vital opportunity for businesses, communities, and families to unite in creating safe spaces, raising awareness about pregnancy and baby loss, and offering support to bereaved colleagues, customers, friends, family, and the broader baby loss community.

❓Did you know...❓

We can host small memorial services at our Chapel, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a more personal and intimate gathering away from the traditional church and chapel settings.

The space features soft lighting, scented candles and fresh flowers, with soothing music available upon request.

While the term ‘Chapel’ may imply religious significance, our facilities are not associated with any specific faith, and are thoughtfully designed to be peaceful, comforting and welcoming for families of all backgrounds, traditions and cultures.

Our Chapel of Rest is an intimate and quiet environment for reflection, comfort and the saying of goodbyes.

👵Grandparents Day - Sunday 5th October👴

Grandparents Day is dedicated to honouring grandparents and the special bond they share with their grandchildren.

Introduced in the UK by .concern in 1990, the day provides an opportunity for families to show appreciation for the contributions, love, and guidance of older generations.

Grandparents play a really important role in their families, why not take this day as a precious opportunity to create new memories together, whether it's through a leisurely afternoon stroll in the park, a cosy afternoon of storytelling over tea, or simply sitting together and listening to cherished tales from the past. Grandparents have a wealth of wisdom and experience to share, and their stories are often filled with lessons, laughter, and love that can enrich our lives in countless ways.

📖National Poetry Day - Thursday 2nd October 2025📖

!Oops we are a day late - but we couldn’t not share these lovely poems, and the importance of poetry when you are grieving.

Yesterday was National Poetry Day, the largest celebration of poetry across the UK, offering us an opportunity to revel in the joy of poetic expression.

Poetry can provide both comfort and a means to process grief.

Reading poems from those who have faced loss can serve as a reminder that you are not alone in your sadness, helping to normalize your feelings. Writing poetry can be a cathartic experience, allowing you to express your pain and confusion on the page. Through its use of symbolism, metaphors, and fragmented language, poetry can articulate thoughts and emotions that are often difficult to convey in everyday language.

We have shared a small selection of poems about grief - have you come across or created a poem that has been meaningful to you - that you would like to share? Please do so in the comments below.

🌺Ceramic Flowers🌺

We were truly wowed when we saw these beautiful ceramic flowers and wanted to share them with you all as another option for floral tributes.

Ceramic grave flowers are designed to last, staying vibrant and meaningful for years to come. Each bloom is carefully crafted with fine detail to reflect the natural beauty of real flowers while being resilient enough to withstand the outdoor elements. Fired at high temperatures, these pieces are weather-resistant and durable.

They are perfect for gravesides, memorials, or as cherished keepsakes from funerals.

At Ceramic Flowers, the collection features classic ceramic roses, delicate forget-me-nots, elegant lilies, seasonal designs, and even custom pieces.

You can read more about Ceramic Flowers on our website here: https://jasfunerals.co.uk/news-events/hand-made-ceramic-flowers/
