Today we proudly mark International Women’s Day.

As a funeral director, we see every day the strength, compassion and quiet resilience that women carry — within families, within communities, and within our profession.

I’m especially proud of the four remarkable women who make up my team here at Roy Preddy — Vicky, Lyn, Carol and Donna. With their care, patience, professionalism and genuine kindness they support families through some of life’s most difficult days. The reassurance they give, the detail they notice, and the dignity they uphold never go unseen.

Today we celebrate not only women everywhere, but these four incredible women who make our work what it is.

Thank you for everything you do. 💜 Ross

Ross joined a packed St James Church in Westerleigh Village today as the local community came together to pay their respects to Wully Perks.

Wully was a licensed lay minister for the Yate Parish and has conducted countless funeral services for us over the years.

During the service Reverend Ian Wallace (former Minister of Yate) paid tribute to Wully and both his love of the community, his ministry and of course, his family.

Ross says “During the service Ian spoke about having been “Wully’d” on many occasions, which meant somehow Wully had convinced you do something without even realising it half the time. I too have fallen victim to that old trick!

Many times during a funeral I would find a bible reading thrust in my direction without any warning “you’re good at public speaking Ross, maybe you could read this and help save my voice!”

Before I knew it I was in the pulpit or stood at a graveside reading bible verse after verse while Wully stood there grinning!

He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him and all the many families he helped to support over the years. Our thoughts are with his wife Mary at this difficult time.

I just hope that someone at St James Church keeps up the tradition of ending a funeral service with the story about the 102 year old vicar nicknamed “Rev Hump” - those of you who knew him, will know the story all too well”

We are pleased to once again be supporting Westerleigh Crematorium’s Annual Mother’s Day service.

It will take place on Sunday 15th March in the Waterside Chapel at 10:30am.

“ Following the continued growing success of this service myself and Shaun have decided to move the service into the larger chapel this year - which is a testament to how important this service is to those who find days like this a struggle

During the service we will have a period of reflection and make use of the screens to play a photo montage. If you would like a photo of your mum to be played on the screen please email to either Ross (ross.janes@dignityuk.co.uk) or Shaun (Shaun.chapman-young@westerleighgroup.co.uk)

Any photos will need to be sent to us by Wednesday 11th March. Please put Mothers Day Montage in the subject heading.

Following the service the cafe will be open for light refreshments. We look forward to seeing you there” - Ross

Today, we’re taking a moment to remember the loved ones who stay close in our hearts, even when they’re no longer with us. 💗

If you’re finding Valentine’s Day a little tender we are holding you in our thoughts.

Grief and love often sit side by side - and however you’re feeling, you’re not alone. Take your time, be gentle with yourself, and know that support is always within reach.

If you or someone you know could use a bit of extra help, these organisations offer guidance and someone to talk to:

As a new year begins, we pause to reflect on the lives remembered, the families supported, and the moments of care that mattered most.

New Year’s Day invites us to look ahead with quiet hope, while holding close the memories that shape us.

From Ross, Vicky, Lyn, Carol and Donna we wish peace and comfort to all this New Year’s Day.

As our office closes for Christmas I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff who work behind the scenes and rarely get a mention.

A big thank to our administration staff, mortuary team, pallbearers, our florists, stone masons, graphic designers, ministers and celebrants for all their hard work throughout the year, we couldn’t do what we do without them.

Special thanks to those colleagues who will be continuing to work across the Christmas period on duty supporting those who need us in the coming days.

Also to my team; Vicky, Lyn, Carol and Donna for their continued hard work and dedication all year long - Thank you for all we’ve achieved as a team in 2025.

Finally, but by no means least, thank you to all those families who have entrusted us with their loved ones. Our work is both an honour and a privilege and I hope we have helped you to say the right goodbye to your loved ones.

Wishing you all a very peaceful Christmas - Ross

Are you in Yate Shopping Centre today? So are we!

This week we were honoured to look after the funeral arrangements for Dean (aka Mugsy) - a legend within the Mangotsfield Community.

Hundreds of mourners came together on Wednesday to pay their respects to him and support his lovely family.

Helen from Rosina May Flowers did at an amazing job creating this bespoke arrangement to showcase Dean's skill as floor layer.

We are really fortunate to get to work alongside some very talented florists.

It’s been lovely to see families coming in this week to hang their Robin and Star memory tags on our tree.

Tags can either be posted for us to hang on your behalf or you can visit the office up until Christmas Eve.

And of course we had to make sure our greatly missed colleagues Mary and Tracey had a place near the top!
