Once again we've had an amazing response to this year's selection box appeal!
Thanks to the generosity of the local community we've managed to collect well over 200 selection boxes across all our funeral homes.
These have now been delivered to The Forest Foodbank and Monmouth and District Foodbank so they can be distributed within our local communities.
Thank you to all those who donated and to all staff for their support!

We’re pleased to announce the return of Light a Candle this Christmas!

Taking part in this Christmas’s Light a Candle gives you the opportunity to create online memorials throughout the festive period.

Christmas is a special time to celebrate with family and friends, and our virtual candles are a thoughtful way to pay tribute to loved ones who are no longer with us.

We'll be sharing virtual candles on our page between 15 and 21 December. There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We look forward to sharing your memorials from 15 December.

We are still collecting Selection boxes for the Monmouth and District Foodbank. If you wish to donate, please contact us by phone or social media and we will arrange collection.

At the end of what has been a difficult week for ourselves and for the local community of Monmouth as a whole, it was lovely to receive the below message from Roger Clitheroe...

'In follow up to our correspondence regarding the cheques and monies donated to the RNLI in memory of our late Mother, Mrs. Sheila Clitheroe, I would like to provide you with the attached photo and Facebook link below. These cover the presentation to David from the Penlee Lifeboat of the cheques by my brother (Peter) and I on the 1st of November 2025. Altogether, the donations made on behalf of our late Mother totalled £1,668.75. My Brother and I are pleased to be able to confirm that she would have been delighted by the generosity of her family and friends in supporting the charity she loved and to the service men and women of the Penlee Lifeboat in Newlyn Cornwall.
It would be great if you could upload this photograph to the website you created for us in her memory, perhaps with reference to the detail I’ve just presented and with a copy of the link below. This is to the Penlee Lifeboat’s own page on Facebook.

Thank you for your help (and to Neil) for all your support through this period. It is much appreciated.'
