We are bombarded every day with adverts for so called low-cost direct cremations but in reality what does this mean?

At A.J.Adkinson and Son it is important that we offer a variety of funeral services to support an individual's choice and direct cremation is one of these options. Our costs for this service is usually cheaper than calling a company advertised on TV and we take care of you at our local funeral home using a local crematorium, offering you more choices and peace of mind for your direct cremation.

This image taken from https://handledwithcare.org.uk/your-options/ shows the comparison between a local, independent funeral director and an online direct cremation service.

OK- so no one actually gets to go to Paris but we can dream can't we!

With Spring in the air we have started a little step challenge to encourage everyone in our team to get out in the fresh air and get moving. We have split into the Green team and the Red team, there are 7 members in each team and they will compete to see which team can get to 800,000 steps first (the rough estimate of steps from Leicester to Paris).

Why not set your own mini challenge and see how far your steps might take you!

Every week we get to see the most beautiful floral tributes from families to their loved ones.
This beauty came with a lovely story of the special, shared moments between a son and his Dad. Every week meeting for a pint of Guinness in their local and his wish was for his Dad to pass by their local on his last journey with this special floral tribute.

Thank you to everyone who supported our coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support last week. We raised a very respectable £359.39p for a cause very close to our hearts and that helps so many people facing cancer.

26/09/2025

Today's the day!! Our coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support is 10am-12noon at our Great Glen office (E.C Gilbert Ltd). Join us for a cuppa, a treat (it is Friday after all) and a chin wag - or just swing in for something to takeaway and eat later! Everyone is welcome. If you can't make it (or just need a convenient way to donate) us the QR code below - whatever you can give is gratefully received and very well-deserved.
