If you're a SAIF member, check your email inbox for details of a compelling new video case study on the risks associated with direct cremation. Offered over a selection of short and shareable films, it features a candid interview with a daughter discussing the unintended consequences of her mother's unattended funeral.

Please use these videos in your premises and across social media to help bereaved families understand the difference between saving money and saving heartache.

The content can be downloaded in the Members' Area of the SAIF website here: https://saif.org.uk/members-area/member-resources/marketing/

In light of the TV adverts regarding Pure Cremation and having received much sad feedback from families who at the time of entering into this type of cremation for their loved ones, hadn’t realised what exactly this may mean for family left behind and those that we lose.

There are studies taking place to find out the long-term effects on bereaved families following a Direct Unattended Cremation when a family has not even been made aware of the cremation date for example or not been allowed to be a part of that final journey and decision making due to having chosen a Direct Unatttended Cremation after seeing a TV advert.

We feel it important to remind you that as Independent Family Funeral Directors caring for our communities, we offer a Direct Unattended Cremation should this be what you decide you wish for your loved one or indeed what you may wish for yourself when your time comes 🦋

Friday Flowers….🦋

It’s almost that time of year again when each Friday we leave flowers out somewhere in the village for someone to find. Please do take them home and enjoy. If you wish to share an image on FB of your flowers, please do…however please don’t feel abliged.

Our hope is that this small gesture may brighten your day.

Our first Friday flowers for Ross and Tewkesbury will go out on Friday 27th March and continue throughout British Summer Time 🤍
