This Dying Matters Awareness Week, we’re encouraging open, honest conversations about end-of-life wishes. It may feel difficult but talking now can bring clarity, comfort, and peace of mind for the future.

At the NAFD, we see every day how much it matters when people have shared their wishes. It helps families make informed decisions at an emotional time and ensures every farewell is personal, meaningful, and respectful.

That’s why we believe that funerals matter.

Because every life deserves a dignified farewell and every family deserves the reassurance of high professional standards, care, and transparency when it matters most.

If you’d like guidance or simply want to start the conversation, speak to your local NAFD funeral director. Look for the logo. Look for the lion - your mark of trusted, professional care.

Let’s break the taboo. Let’s support one another. Let’s talk.

A little question for a Tuesday (no wrong answers, promise) 👇
Would you choose…

🤍 A quiet, intimate farewell with close family
or
🎶 A full celebration of life — music, stories, and plenty of laughter

Both are beautiful in their own way. We'd love to know what feels most like you.
Drop your answer in the comments — we're genuinely curious. 💬

One thing about Ashbourne — people really do look out for each other.
You see it in the small things. A neighbour checking in. Someone making time when they didn't have to. People simply showing up when it matters most.

That kind of community doesn't go unnoticed. We see it every single day in our work, and it means the world.

Proud to be part of Ashbourne. 🌿

Today marks the anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci's death — 2nd May, 1519.
He never set foot in the UK. Yet today, some of his most extraordinary work lives here.

The Royal Collection at Windsor Castle holds over 500 of his drawings — one of the largest Leonardo collections anywhere in the world. They're not always on permanent display, but when they are, they draw visitors from across the globe.

The Royal Collection Trust's touring exhibition "Leonardo da Vinci: A Life in Drawing" brought his work to cities across the UK — bringing it closer to communities who might never have seen it otherwise.

Centuries on, people are still travelling to see what he left behind. That's the thing about legacy — it doesn't need a headline to endure. It just quietly stays.
Have you ever seen his drawings in person? 🖊️

We’d like to wish a very happy birthday to our wonderful Donna,

Thank you for everything you do for not only us, but the families and residents we care for.

Our very own Harry, Paige & Donna are taking on a 13-mile walk with Glitz & Glamour this June 💖

They will be walking in memory of Marie Bacon, who we had the honour of caring for last year. Marie did so much for the Glitz & Glamour charity, and this year’s walk is dedicated to her.

Glitz & Glamour Ashbourne supports those diagnosed with breast and cervical cancer across Ashbourne and the surrounding areas. The charity provides vital grants for projects, equipment, services and research that go beyond what is typically funded by the NHS at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton.

This incredible event will take place on Sunday 7th June, where 300 ladies and gents will walk through our beautiful Derbyshire countryside to raise awareness and essential funds. Around 170 participants will complete a 26-mile route, while 130 – including our team – will take on the 13-mile walk.

Funds raised will go towards The Derby Breast Test Appeal and Gynae Cancer Research at Derby & Burton hospitals.

We are aiming to help reach an amazing £100,000 target!

Most people think they need to have everything figured out before they pick up the phone. They don't.
"I'm not really sure where to start" is honestly one of the most common things we hear — and it's more than enough. We take it one step at a time, together, at whatever pace feels right for you.

You don't have to have all the answers. That's what we're here for. 🤍
