We Will Remember Them.

This Remembrance Day, our team takes a moment to pause and reflect on the bravery, sacrifice, and love shown by those who served for our tomorrow.

May we always honour their memory — and the families who still remember them today.

Lest we forget.

On Thursday we were honoured to carry out the funeral of a very popular and well known gent from Blakeney.

Warren had a devotion to Blakeney and in particular to Blakeney A.F.C. He would often be seen wandering the perimeters of the football pitch giving the team some constructive criticism.

It therefore seems fitting that from his final resting place in the cemetery, the football pitch can be viewed.

Below is a photo of our hearse in between the rain showers outside All Saint's Church, Blakeney.

We were very honoured to carry out the funeral of the late Kit Waskett, former Lydney Park Head Forester and a devoted family man in late May.

All of Kit's life was spent working in the forests in various places where he became extremely skilled before he headed up the Forestry Team at Lydney Park Estate for a number of years, also living on the estate with his family.

His forestry tractor and trailer, of which he became synonymous with, was a handed picked vehicle which involved a trip all the way to Scotland with a couple of colleagues to collect.

As such, Kit's fellow colleagues set about creating a beautiful woodland theme on the trailer bed of the tractor for a very fitting final journey.

Because of Kit's life and long association with the forests, it seemed only right to have a natural pine coffin, supplied by J C Walwyn & Sons, that was finished with a natural and stunning coffin spray made by the family.

The photos from Kit's service appear with the very kind permission of his wife Jess.

Beloved husband of Audrey, a loving dad, grandad, great grandad, father-in-law & brother.

Funeral service to take place at St Mary's Church, Lydney on Friday August 15th at 2.00pm followed by burial in Lydney Cemetery.

Family flowers only please, donations in Bern's memory for the Rodley House Amenities Fund (cheques made payable to Ian Watts & Son Donations Account) may be placed in the donations box at the church or sent to Ian Watts & Son Funeral Directors, 26 Ridgeway, Yorkley, Lydney, Glos, GL15 4SE.

We are also honoured to be highlighted by Langstone Vale Crematorium and Memorial Gardens, another Westerleigh Group crematorium on the outskirts of Newport, where we frequent with many of the families we serve in Chepstow, Caldicot & their surrounding areas.

Langstone Vale offers a new and stylish chapel, able to host around 200 people seated and standing, with their team headed up by Aaron Carter, who we worked with for a long period in the Forest of Dean prior to his switch to Langstone Vale.

Last week we had the honour of carrying out the funeral of the late Geoff Willetts of Pillowell, owner of Geoff Willetts Coaches based out of the Old Coach Garage in Pillowell.

Geoff's coaches had a distinctive lilac livery with red, black & burgandy stripes. His family wished for his casket to emulate this and working closely with Somerset Willow Coffins, we were able to provide a bespoke casket to match Geoff's old liveries.

Even more fitting for Geoff's final journey was his family attached his old bus driver's ID to the casket at the Old Coach Garage, before Geoff departed the garage for his final journey.

Below is a selection of photos from the funeral as well as one of Geoff's old coaches with the kind permission of Sue & Tracey.
