Thank you to Hospice in the Weald for welcoming some of our team into the in the Weald Tunbridge Wells store on Friday last week for Volunteer Day. We were grateful for the opportunity to support where help was needed - processing donations from many of your stores and drop-off points.

You were all so welcoming, and we look forward to continuing to work with you and other hospices that do the fantastic work and loving care you provide all the people that you work with.

International Volunteer Day - 5th December

Today, we celebrate the incredible impact of volunteers worldwide. At C. Waterhouse & Sons and Heathfield Funeral Service, we know the importance of giving back, not just through our services but by supporting our communities in every way we can.

Volunteering isn’t just a one-day event; some of our dedicated team will be out volunteering today and, in the weeks, to come, contributing to causes close to our hearts. From charity events to local support initiatives, we're proud to be part of a movement that truly makes a difference.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers who give their time, energy, and love. You’re the heart of our communities, and we’re so grateful for you!

It's Wednesday, and we've another turn under the spotlight - continuing our series where we share a little more about ‘Who We Are’.

Each post, we’ll be introducing you to one of the friendly faces you might see or speak to when you get in touch with us. From our team’s roles to their names and faces - you’ll get to know the people behind our name.

We’ll also share a bit of our history, what we stand for, and why we’re so passionate about providing care with compassion and respect in every moment. As an established, trusted and respected name in the funeral profession, we strive to deliver our ‘traditional values with a modern approach’.

So, whether you’ve known us for years or are just finding out who we are, we hope this series brings you closer to the people who make our work possible and allows you to get to know ‘Who We Are’.

With only a handful of weeks left in 2025, we've plenty of time for the last few familiar faces. For Week 9, it's time for Phillip Hawkins to be the focus of the week!

Last week, we had the honour of directing a truly touching farewell, a funeral with personal touches of the family's homeland of New Zealand, with rugby and football shirts, personal guitars, music and the family’s beloved dog walking behind the coffin, a loyal companion to the very end.

The long life of a very much loved and respected lady was celebrated last week.

We had the privilege of taking the born and bred Burwash resident on her final journey, complete with her crash helmet proudly displayed on the coffin.

She was a lifelong motorbike enthusiast, attending her last motorbike show at the age of 95! Life goals!
