Grand Opening – Pinks Funeral Directors, Caterham

On 1st August, we proudly celebrated the grand opening of our new Pinks Funeral Directors branch in Caterham. While the location is new, Pinks has a long-standing legacy of compassionate care, and we’re thrilled to extend that tradition into the Caterham community.

The event was a fantastic success, thanks to the dedication of Karen, our Area Development Manager, and the brilliant team at Pinks who worked tirelessly to prepare the branch and welcome guests.

We were honoured to be joined by The Hon. Councillor Mike Crane, Chairman of Tandridge District Council, whose presence added a special touch to the occasion.

A highlight of the day was Caterham Town Crier and valued team member Sonia, who brought tradition and ceremony to life with her official duties—making the celebration truly memorable.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in marking this exciting new chapter for Pinks in Caterham.

This month we’re exploring the topic of coping with grief. Check in each week for helpful advice and guidance.

Grief is a unique journey for everyone; there's no set timeline.

It can bring overwhelming emotions like anger, guilt, and deep sadness, and even manifest as physical symptoms.

All of these reactions are normal. Don’t be afraid to seek support from loved ones or professionals.

Don’t miss a beat on World Heart Day.

One in five people will die early from cardiovascular disease (CVD), which claims more lives than cancer and chronic respiratory diseases combined. Yet, up to 80% of heart disease and stroke cases are preventable. That’s why, every 29 September, we celebrate World Heart Day to raise awareness of CVD and the importance of taking care of your heart.

James Brown & Sons Supporting “Saddle Up” Holiday Bible Club

Last month, our Newtownabbey branch had the joy of supporting the “Saddle Up” Holiday Bible Club, made possible through the James Brown & Sons Community Fund.

Led by our fantastic team member Claire, the initiative brought together children and families for a week of western-themed fun, crafts, games, and storytelling—all hosted by the local church. The energy was infectious, and it was clear how much the event meant to everyone involved.

We were proud to play a small part in making the week a success. Claire spent time at the club during the week, joined the family BBQ on Saturday, and attended the Sunday Church service—strengthening the bond between our team and the local community.

A huge thank you to Claire for championing this initiative. It’s moments like these that remind us how powerful community connections can be.

GE Hartley & Son Take on Malham Cove – and a Bull – for Charity!

The incredible team from GE Hartley & Son Funeral Directors recently tackled a challenging charity walk through the breath taking Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales.

What was meant to be a 13-mile trek turned into a 15-mile adventure—thanks to an unexpected detour caused by a runaway bull! From rock climbing to rugged terrain, the team powered through with laughter, resilience, and plenty of Yorkshire grit.

Together, they raised an amazing £1,385 for the Alzheimer's Society. A huge well done to everyone involved—your determination and good humour turned a wild walk into a wonderful memory.

A Fond Farewell to a True Country Gentleman

G&M Goold Funeral Directors, were honoured to conduct a heartfelt farewell for a beloved local farm hand whose life was deeply rooted in the land—and in his love for tractors.

The service reflected his passion for the countryside, with thoughtful touches that celebrated his character and the life he lived. It was a privilege to support his family in saying goodbye.

A fitting tribute to a well-respected member of the local farming community.

September is Vascular Disease Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on the importance of prevention and early action.

Vascular disease often develops silently, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle early is key to prevention. Staying active through daily movement, choosing heart-smart foods, quitting smoking, and keeping an eye on your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar can make a profound difference.

This month, let’s commit to small changes that lead to stronger vessels and healthier lives. Share this message, encourage loved ones to get screened, and be part of a movement that prioritises prevention over crisis.

Did you know that 1 in 2 strokes and heart attacks are caused by high blood pressure—and 6 million people in the UK don’t even know they have it? That’s why this week matters.

Each September Blood Pressure UK holds Know Your Numbers Week, raising awareness about the silent risks of high blood pressure and encouraging everyone to have their blood pressure tested.

Why it matters:
- High blood pressure often has no symptoms
- It can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and dementia
- Early detection means better outcomes and healthier lives

Thyme to Grow – a dedicated plot at the Thorntree Lane Allotments in Swadlincote is open to anyone looking to reconnect with nature, share peaceful moments, and enjoy discovering what can be grown.

Funeral Director Megan Smart who is leading the project said : “Sometimes families that we have looked after can feel lost following the funeral of their loved one, and we thought this might be a nice way to gently introduce something new to their week, where some focus can be placed".

📦 Ibraheem’s Gift | Supporting Muslim Families Through Loss

Designed with compassion and cultural sensitivity, Ibraheem’s Gift is a baby and child loss pack created by bereaved parents in memory of their beloved son, Ibraheem, who was born sleeping in June 2018.

In collaboration with 4Louis, this pack provides the immediate necessities to help Muslim families prepare for their baby's burial, recognising that in Islam, burials take place swiftly. Each item is lovingly selected in consultation with a hospital Imam.

🕊 “To honour our son’s memory and create a lasting legacy, we created Ibraheem’s Gift, a small but meaningful offering of comfort and support to families walking the same painful path.”

From a handmade shroud to a book offering spiritual comfort, Ibraheem’s Gift was the first UK baby loss pack designed specifically for Muslim families.

Now available in hospitals across the UK, thanks to the strength and love of one grieving family.
