Allow the stars to remind you why the darkness is necessary……

Moments of reflection….

We meet many different families, all with different beliefs, values, cultures and opportunities in life. The one important thing that most share is the need for finding that quiet space, and to take a moment just to sit and be…to reflect; for many reasons not all of us can find that space.

We offer a quiet space, a safe & private space for you to come and light a candle & just sit for a moment, just to be with your thoughts. There is no need for you to explain your need and quite often at times like this…. ‘words are not required’

We are privileged to be able to offer you that space….🦋

Whilst returning from our professional duties yesterday, we captured this….

Nature really is diverse. Every moment needs to be allowed the time it requires🦋

Youth Work Experience in the funeral industry…..the future of our community.

Finding a great work experience starts with great planning. This means you might start looking for your placement months in advance of your work experience period.

This year Edith Blanche Funeral Directors would like to offer the opportunity to those young adults that feel they may too have a passion for what we do. In conjunction with your school and consent from your parents / guardian we may be able to help.

Quite often in life when we don’t have the words to express to someone how we feel, if that be to say sorry, or express our sympathy, or to show our love…we chose to send flowers. For us at Edith Blanche it is a great honour to be given the opportunity to create that most special tribute that rests on top of the coffin. A floral tribute that represents the love shared and so much more. A Collateral Beauty, the concept that even in the midst of devastating experiences, there is a hidden, life-affirming beauty available to those that are open to recognise it 🦋

We wanted to share just a small selection of some of the very special tributes we have had the privilege to create for our families.

A Stunning Tribute 🦋

Help John Bell aka Dadpool raise money to support Walking 4 Hope

A stunning tribute 🦋

Some visits stay with you. This was one of them.

This morning we welcomed John from Walking4Hope.

John is preparing to walk over 1,000 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End, carrying a bathtub filled with rubber ducks. Each one represents a life lost to su***de.

After losing his son Jake in 2020, John made the decision to turn that loss into something that could help others. What he’s doing isn’t just a challenge, it’s a message.

In our line of work, we see the impact that su***de has on families. It’s something that stays with people long after the funeral, and it’s not spoken about enough.

That’s why we’re proud to support John and Walking4Hope. This isn’t just a one-off, we want to play a real part in supporting his journey and the work he’s doing going forward.

If sharing this helps keep the conversation going, it’s worth it.
John Bell

“Thank you for your kind words, it has been our privilege”

There are no words to describe the feeling behind the sentence above. A sentence we say to all our families.

We value all of the comments & feedback we receive “thank you” 🤍

As another week for us draws to a close, we reflect.

As many of you will know, we have now fully opened our new chapel & office in Ross. This has come with some questions from our Ross community. The most important question we have had is; and if it’s okay we would like to share it with you….and more importantly, our answer…..

Are we going to out-source the care of those that die to another funeral company like other local companies do?

Our answer and the only right answer for us is… No we are not.

As many true Funeral Directors will know, it is the care that we provide for those that we lose that makes our work and passion so personal to us and those we care for. For most, this is why we became Funeral Directors; to care and keep safe those that are vulnerable. We are never more vulnerable than when we have passed away. For myself, Mitch, Tony and our team, this is our passion and we will not be out-sourcing any of our care to others. Your loved one rests with us and is cared for by the team you meet and know.

We share the recent statement from SAIF regarding the Legacy Funeral Incident. The second paragraph is vital for the industry…..Together we will introduce a robust yet proportionate form of regulation that requires all practitioner’s providing care to the bereaved and the deceased to meet a rigorous set of standards.

Never underestimate the importance of choice 🤍 we are proud to be members of SAIF and welcome the plans to ensure our industry is safe for the bereaved and our loved ones.
