Although Remembrance Sunday has already happened, it is Remembrance Day today. This is another opportunity to remember those who have died serving in the line of duty and to help out those affected by these deaths.

Being a funeral director that arranges military funerals, along with one of our directors having served in the military, this is something that we are passionate about. If you could donate to the Poppy Appeal, even if it is just a couple of pounds, it all goes a long way and helps those who need it in the short and long term. The link below will take you to the Royal British Legion website where you can send your donation. Again, any amount of money helps and if you can’t, try and participate in the two-minute silence at 11:00am today in honour of our fallen soldiers.

Thank you.

Lest We Forget.

The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion’s biggest fundraising campaign held in November. Get involved and support our Armed Forces community.

At Ivor Thomas Funerals, we are tired of the roundabout outside our office in the Heath looking so derelict. We have contacted the council about it and they have done nothing. We think that it is not only causing a hazard when using it but also not representing the values of the local community.

We will be trying to get in contact with local councillors to see if they can entice the council to sort it out and will keep the local community informed of any developments that we see.

If, in the meantime, you could sign the petition below to try and get as many people to back us, that would be much appreciated!

Here is another one of Neil’s hand-spun keepsakes called the Hugh Keepsake. Made from a single branch of a Cherry tree which is grown and purchased in South Wales. It is beautifully simplistic with a design that emphasises the natural look of the grain.

If you want to enquire about keepsakes, or just want to ask about the funeral industry, contact us on 02921 69 00 22 or send us an email to info@ivorthomasfunerals.co.uk

Due to an outage at AWS, our phone lines are working inconsistently. If you cannot reach us via phone at 02921 69 00 22 and it's not urgent, then feel free to email us at info@ivorthomasfunerals.co.uk or even send us a message through Facebook.

We apologise for this issue and are doing as much as we can to get our phone lines working to the standard that they should. Thank you for your understanding.

Across the United Kingdom it is Baby Loss Awareness Week until the 15th of October. This is something we have at the front of our minds as before starting Ivor Thomas Funerals, Mark was a Funeral Arranger for Babies and Children. Without what he witnessed in that job, he would’ve never started his own funeral business with the family being the main concern.

This is a movement that is now in its 22nd year where everyone within the baby loss community and beyond unite to remember and commemorate our much-loved and missed babies.
It is also a week of spreading awareness of the impact of pregnancy and baby loss, and how important correct bereavement support is during these times. This is done by public outreach and hosting events all over the UK, including some in Cardiff. Details to these events will be on their website below.

If you’ve been affected by a tragedy like this, then below is a link to the Baby Loss Awareness Week website where you can find and endless number of charities to talk to and receive support from. If you just want to donate, you can do that with the link below as well.

https://babyloss-awareness.org/support/

This is a very under spoken topic that we feel needs to be normalised within discussions and we will try our best to do what we can to help.

Ivor Thomas Funerals is filled with talented individuals. One of the first is Neil who is an incredibly experienced woodworker, which we use to its full effect! He has made us a line of handmade keepsakes which we will be showing to you over the coming weeks.

This one is called the Cathryn. It is made from one piece of Beech wood which is grown locally within South Wales. It’s a beautiful piece of work with a nice finish and simplistic yet classy look.

If you want to enquire about keepsakes, or just want to ask about the funeral industry, contact us on 02921 69 00 22 or send us an email to info@ivorthomasfunerals.co.uk

HOT CROSS BUN DAY!!!!!!

In a world that can be very demanding and stressful, it is important to remember that you deserve a break. This is why we feel like everyone should celebrate days like this.

FUN FACT:
Back in the 16th century, many people believed that Hot Cross Buns had healing powers. It was also illegal to sell hot cross buns unless it was for Christmas, the Friday before Easter, or a funeral.

If you don’t like Hot Cross Buns, then just use it as an excuse to go easy on yourself today.
