On the paths of the High Peak,
where wind combs through the heather,
I leave the noise of life behind
with every measured step together.

The hills ask nothing of me there,
only silence, breath, and time;
and somehow grief grows softer
beneath the curlew’s lonely cry.

Roe deer leap the drystone walls
like fleeting thoughts set free,
while woodpeckers drum in hidden woods
with ancient certainty.

Among the stone, the moss, the rain,
the old earth puts me right —
reminding me how small we are,
yet bound to every life.

And walking there, through sorrow or strain,
I find a steadier peace:
the kind that comes from listening close
to all wild living things.

A Funeral should never feel like a template.

Saying goodbye is one of the most personal moments in life, yet too often families feel guided - sometimes pressured - into a "standard" service that doesn't truly reflect the person they've lost.

You don't have to fit into a box.
You don't have to choose a package that doesn't feel right.
And you absolutely deserve to be heard.

Whether it's something simple, unconventional, creative, or deeply personal-your wishes matter.
The life you're honouring is unique, and the farewell should be too.

It genuinely upsets us when we see families settling for something that doesn't feel like them or their loved one. You deserve better that that.

We're here to listen. To guide. To support. And to help you create something meaningful-no matter how individual or complex it may seem.

If it's legal, we'll work our socks off to make it happen.

Because a farewell should feel right🖤.

We all need a breather from life and when our body and mind tells us to slow down it is important to listen. My time out came last week, and I always use it as a time to be with my closest loved ones. I'm not sure they would feel the same, especially as I had planned a walk up one of my favourites "Cadar Idris". We had sun, wind, rain and sleet! Everyone took it well, including Annie and Luna and we all had a wonderful time together.

The kids are back in school, myself and Georgina are back in work and feeling fully refreshed and motivated to help and have a positive influence on the people around us.

We are booked into the Disley and Lyme Horticultural Society Show again!!

It is the 119th Annual show and it's on Saturday the 15th of August, starting at 12 noon.

Last year I turned up with one of the newest coffins in the UK, a Mushroom coffin! It certainly turned heads and created a lot of positive conversations. I wanted to let you know I won't be bringing a coffin with me this time, but I can promise it will be other things that will create just as much conversation.

More information is to follow closer to the time as my idea comes together, but you put this date in your diary it really is a great day out.
