On Friday, we came together to celebrate the life of a beloved and well-known gentleman, Graeme Low of St Agnes.

Graeme was fond of his friend Clive’s Ford Es**rt Estate. Upon hearing of Graeme’s passing, Clive generously offered to use his car to take Graeme on his final journey, a touching gesture of friendship and respect.

We captured beautiful drone footage of Clive driving to Graeme’s house to meet his family before the cortege began.

Graeme’s love for motorbikes was well known. He was one of the founders of the motorcycle group known as the Blackheads, a brotherhood that remained close to his heart throughout his life.

Friends and family gathered on bikes and in cars to honour his memory. The cortege began near Graeme’s home and made its way through St Agnes, passing some of his favourite local spots.

As they arrived at the crematorium, engines were revved in unison, a powerful, resonant farewell for a man who touched so many lives.

A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a friend to many.

Ride in peace, Graeme. 🖤🏍️

Last night, we gently rested Matt in our Chapel of Rest for his final night in our home.

We surrounded him with flags, and scarves of his beloved football team; photos, messages from loved ones on wooden hearts and beautiful flowers.

As we were finishing up, Dave (our team member and owner) turned to me and said he was nipping to the shop and asked if I wanted anything.

Curious, I asked what the sudden urge was about.

He explained that during long chats with Matt’s family, he’d learned Matt was a Guinness man and in that moment, Dave felt he wanted to do something personal, something meaningful… to pay his own quiet respects.

So he bought Matt one last Guinness. Not just a pint but a final gesture. A quiet goodbye. A nod to the man he was and the life he lived.

Rest in peace Matt, it was an honour to care for you.

So proud of you, David ❤️…..

While I was away in Scotland, I was reminded once again how special our team truly is ❤️

Two families visited their loved ones over the weekend, and when I checked in afterwards, the feedback brought me so much pride.

One family told me that everything was “outstanding.”

Another said how reassured they feel knowing their father is being cared for with such kindness that their anxieties have been lifted.

To our amazing team: thank you. Your dedication makes all the difference, not just to those we care for, but to the families who trust us every day. 🌟👏

So proud of you ❤️

✨ A Sparkling Tribute for a Shining Soul ✨

This beautiful glitter coffin was specially chosen for a young woman whose personality sparkled just as brightly as her style.

She had a deep love for all things glitter, shimmer, and diamantés and it was only fitting that her final resting place reflected that same radiant spirit. 💖

We understand how important it is to celebrate a life in a way that feels personal and meaningful.

This custom design is just one way we help families honour their loved ones with individuality, beauty, and love ✨

Val’s grandchildren lovingly called her “Nanny Fanny”…

When they asked for “Nanny Fanny” in flowers to be displayed at her celebration of life, we knew it had to be done.

We are always honoured to go above and beyond to fulfil a family’s wishes. ❤️

Thank you to Flowers by Diane for the stunning arrangements.

A beautiful, personalised farewell for a truly cherished lady.

Rest in peace, Val. You are so deeply missed. ###

There’s something profoundly moving about gathering to celebrate a life — not in grief alone, but in gratitude, in laughter, and in shared stories.

A celebration of life isn’t just a farewell; it’s a tribute to the moments that mattered, the lessons left behind, and the love that continues long after someone is gone ❤️
