This week is National Funeral Planning Awareness Week.

We want to use this time to gently encourage you to have those important conversations and plan ahead, giving both you and your family peace of mind for the future.

Sometimes it’s the simplest questions that create the most meaningful and personalised services, and having those wishes known can make things so much easier when your loved ones need to sit down with a funeral director.

Have you ever told your family whether you’d prefer burial or cremation?

Have you ever thought about what songs you’d like played at your service?

Are there any personal touches you’d love included? A favourite poem, football shirt, flowers, or colour theme?

We talk every day about the teams we support and the songs we love, planning your funeral is no different. It’s simply about making sure your story is told your way.

So, put the kettle on, gather your loved ones, and start the conversation. It might feel difficult at first, but it could be one of the most thoughtful things you ever do for your family.

This one is for Mum 💐🤍

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and we know this time of year can be incredibly difficult for many of our families who won’t have their mum with them to celebrate in person.

But even though she may not be here physically, we can still honour, remember, and celebrate the wonderful woman she was.

We will be creating a special Mother’s Day Memorial Tribute Video dedicated to all the amazing mums who are deeply missed. If you would like your loved one to be included, please send us:

• A photo of your special loved one
• A short message you would like to share

Please email your contributions to events@hillierfs.co.uk by Monday 9th March.

The greatest honour we can be given is to bear your loved one, whether as a full team or alongside family and friends.

We bow as the hearse arrives, and again after we have carried your loved one into their service. It is a mark of respect, gratitude, and the privilege of being entrusted with such an important role.

To lead someone into their final farewell and celebration of life is the ultimate tribute, and one we never take lightly.

20/02/2026

Even when services are held at Kingshill House, we ensure the utmost respect and dignity is always given to your loved one.

However they enter their celebration of life, every detail is handled with care and honour, because every farewell deserves to be both memorable and meaningful.
