Last week we held an uplifting service for a gentleman at Kingston Crematorium. As well as photographs for a visual tribute also included were wonderful video’s. Given just a little time and planning the Funeral Directors and myself can help create the perfect personal ceremony.

A truly wonderful fun evening yesterday hosted by Mortlake Crematorium- summer picnic and proms from the Ealing Wind Orchestra 🎶 Thank you also to Barnes & Hicks for having us join their picnic, to & Daughters for sponsoring the brilliant Glitterlicious face painting, and those who contributed to the great raffle. All for Meadow House Hospice. 💗
Plus… our ‘can’t sing’ choir ‘Melody Misfits’ were even brave enough to bash out a tune at the end… 🤗

The sense of smell heightened after some light rain in the woodland cleared the air, then it smelt wonderfully fresh to welcome the sunshine back for a ceremony that included a fabulous live singer 🎶
At GreenAcres Living Memorial Parks in Chiltern.

A few hours downtime on Sunday with my daughter who took this picture… “use it for work” she said. So here it is- 3 beautiful big daisies at Hampton Court Palace.

Books can be a valuable tool for talking to children and young adults about death.

There’s a real range of titles out there: from poignant animal tales, to voyages into fantasy worlds, to super-practical workbooks and everything in-between. It may never be an easy conversation, but these resources are available to help.

We’ve gathered some great recommendations from the Poppy’s team and the suggestions of partners and clients and separated them into two blogs -

This week I was at Gunnersbury Cemetery. The gates quote ‘Quam bonum in unum habitare’… Latin for "How good it is to dwell together in unity".
It is a quote from Psalm 133 in the Bible.
The phrase is a motto for various organisations, emphasizing the value of community and togetherness…. Certainly true in life and death.

A new sign at GreenAcres Chiltern to welcome visitors, and following a ceremony in the Woodland Hall we were greeted to a courtyard of bubbles - a beautiful element to end the service. 🫧 🌳 🫧
