Remembering Clive ‘Cas’ Sandall

Cas was a committed member of the St Agnes RNLI and a respected figure within the community, consistently willing to contribute be it through his lifeboat service, his work on the renowned Giant Bolster, or the friendship he offered to many.

His generosity and spirit touched so many lives.

In a deeply heartfelt gesture, the RNLI reached out to Cas’s friends to offer their flag to accompany him at his celebration of life service.

This act stands as a powerful symbol of the respect, gratitude, and admiration held for his years of service, and a reminder of the countless lives he helped save.

Cas wasn’t just a volunteer he was a neighbour, a friend, and someone whose presence made the community of St Agnes stronger.

To his family, his friends, and the RNLI crew who served beside him, we extend our sincerest condolences. 

Cas, thank you for your courage, your commitment, and your kindness…..

📣 Meet the Director — My Journey Here

Hello, for those who don’t know me, I’m Andrea Myhill (née Carlyon), Funeral Director and owner of Carlyon Funeral Directors.

After leaving college, I wasn’t sure where life would take me but I knew I wanted a career centered around helping people.

I contemplated becoming a midwife, a police officer, or a paramedic.

Each one felt meaningful in its own way, because each role requires compassion, courage, and a heart for service.

Life, however, has a way of guiding us toward where we’re meant to be.

My path led me to becoming a funeral director, something I never would have predicted back then, yet now can’t imagine myself doing anything else.

Supporting families through loss, helping them find clarity in overwhelming moments, and honouring the lives of those they love has become my purpose.

It’s work that is tender, emotional, and deeply human and in it, I feel truly content.

Thank you to the families who trust me and the team.

Serving this community is not just my profession, it’s a privilege, and I carry that responsibility with respect and gratitude every day.

Remembering Margaret Barbary 🌾

We recently celebrated the life of Margaret, a strong, kind-hearted woman who spent her days close to the land she loved.

Farming wasn’t just her work it was her way of life.

To reflect her journey, we added wheat to her funeral flowers, a simple, meaningful tribute to the life she lived and the fields she once walked.

Rest peacefully, Margaret. You will always be remembered🌷🌹

Thank you to Flowers by Diane, Mount Hawke for the stunning arrangement….
