A V Band Funeral Directors stands with you on World Mental Health Day 💙

On this 10th October — World Mental Health Day — we pause to remember that grief, loss, and the many pressures life brings don’t always show on the surface. At A V Band, we believe compassion, connection, and conversation make all the difference.

You are not alone. If you or someone you care about is struggling, please reach out to a friend, family member, or a professional. Talking about it isn’t weak… it’s brave.

Let’s stand together in kindness, listening, and support.

🌾 Harvest Festival 🌾

Our team had a wonderful time taking part in the annual Harvest Festival at St John’s Church last week. 🍂

We created our very own cheerful scarecrow to celebrate the season of gratitude and giving — complete with a basket of seeds for families to take in memory of a loved one🌻

It’s always a pleasure to support our local church and community events that bring everyone together. 💛

The Importance of Paging in Front of the Hearse

Today’s images are a reminder of one of the oldest and most meaningful traditions in our profession — the funeral director paging in front of the hearse.

It’s a moment of respect, dignity, and honour for the person who has passed away. By walking ahead, the funeral director symbolically leads the deceased on their final journey, ensuring that every step is taken with care and reverence.

Paging is a quiet but powerful gesture — it slows the pace, encourages reflection, and allows the community to pause in recognition of a life lived. It’s one of the many ways we ensure that every funeral we conduct is carried out with compassion, professionalism, and deep respect.

It’s a privilege to uphold these traditions and to help families say their goodbyes in the most dignified way possible.

Why Embalming Matters.

Even when a service is private or non-attended, embalmers take the same care as if every family were present. Preparation is more than appearance , it’s dignity, craftsmanship, and respect.

Sometimes families change their minds and ask to see their loved one one last time. Because of the embalmer’s skill and attention to detail, that moment can still happen beautifully and without distress.

Behind every coffin& casket, there’s a quiet professional ensuring dignity is upheld from start to finish.

Sometimes, words can bring comfort when we need it most. This National Poetry Day we think it’s fitting that we share a poem that hopefully resonates with many of the families we support.

We invite you to share your own favourite poem or quote in the comments - something that brings peace, hope, or reflection.
