For some people this may be the first Valentine's Day without a loved one and for some you may have faced this day many times, love does not end with death. Love carries on.

Take some time to remember them for the love you shared. Remember the stories of Valentine's days past, and how you felt. Let love guide you through the darkest days.

Love never fails, love conquers all!

Our Apprentice Amelia De Beer is working with our team alongside her training. This includes all aspects of funeral arranging and delivery, whilst learning about funeral business marketing, administration and community engagement.

We are very proud to be a Business offering Apprenticeships.

Today we remember our friend and colleague Dennis Redrup on what would have been his 94th Birthday.

Dennis joined M. K. Ginder & Sons back in 2002 and over the years worked across all departments, but was most at home serving families as their Funeral Director.

Dennis was a stalwart member of the team and in later years found himself still doing a few days a week in the coffin workshop.

Alongside his work and hobbies, Dennis undertook a Open University Degree in his 70s and became a Black belt in Karate aged 84. He hung up his top hat in at 86, but would have been very willing to step in had we asked him.

Dennis passed away in late 2025. Happy Heavenly Birthday Dennis!

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, this year's theme is Bridging Generations. A call to action and reminder that the responsibility of remembrance doesn’t end with the survivors – it lives on through their children, their grandchildren and through all of us.

If it is safe to do so and you are able to, please light a candle at 8pm this evening and place it in your window. Together we will Light the Darkness. If you feel comfortable doing so, please post a picture of your candle.

As part of our Complete Funeral Service we are working with Ashes Escorted to assist any family which wishes for their loved ones ashes to be delivered to them across the length and breath of the UK and further afield.

Ashes Escorted offer a personal, caring, individual, insured service of hand delivering ashes door-to-door. Once collected from us, they will deliver them at a time and place convenient for you.

In the past few months, they have delivered ashes to Manchester and Scotland by car and even flown to Ireland to personally hand over the ashes to a family who couldn't come to us.

For more information please visit our website or call any of our offices.
