Our Binley Road branch recently received a lovely card of thanks from a family we looked after.

Thank you for the kindness and care shown to us on the loss of our Mum.

This month we are exploring how to write a headstone inscription for your loved one.

Take your time.

The inscription on a headstone or memorial is a special and meaningful way to commemorate your loved one. Take your time when you decide on your wording, there’s no need to rush.

It takes several months to install a headstone or memorial after a funeral service, this gives you time to think, discuss with family and make a decision creating a lasting tribute that honours their memory.

Our Funeral Home team can provide guidance and support, ensuring the final inscription reflects the personality of your loved one. Share this with someone that needs support.

Important points for guests.

Unlike traditional funerals, a celebration of life often has a more personal touch. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Dress Code - Follow the family’s wishes. They may ask for bright colours or something that reflects their loved one’s personality. If nothing is specified, choose modest, respectful attire.

What to Bring - Usually, there’s no expectation to bring anything. A thoughtful card, flowers (if appropriate), or a charity donation can be a kind gesture. Always check if the family has shared preferences.

We are always deeply touched by the messages and feedback we receive from families we have had the honour of supporting

Thank you for placing your trust in us. It is a privilege to serve our community and support families during such important moments

These words were sent to our Office Manager Trish by a family she recently looked after.

I'd like to take this opportunity on behalf of the family to thank you for everything, your guidance and support through this , making everything Mum wanted happen so perfectly. And of course the most important thing , you doing her hair. She would be eternally grateful that you did that for her her.

Speaking at a celebration of life.

A celebration of life is a chance to share stories, memories, and love. If you’re asked to speak, here are a few tips:

- Keep it personal - Share a favourite memory or share what made them special to you.
- Stay positive - Focus on their life, achievements, and the joy they brought.
- Be authentic - Speak from the heart; it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Often, a celebrant or family member will lead the service, but many celebrations invite guests to share a story or tribute. Your words can help others heal and keep their memory alive.

Share a hug with family and friends.

Every year on the 21st January, we remind ourselves of the importance of physical touch and emotional connection. This can also be beneficial to those experiencing bereavement.

The simple act of sharing a hug can have a profoundly positive impact on people with benefits to your health, stress reduction, feelings of happiness and sense of security.

Today is Brew Monday, an initiative created by the charity Samaritans to counter 'Blue Monday'.

We encourage you to reach out to family, friends or colleagues for a chat over tea or coffee, to help combat loneliness and provide emotional support. However you are able to, the simple act of checking in with someone can have a huge positive impact.

Anna, Trish and our team at our Binley Road branch received these kind words of thanks recently from a family we looked after.

Anna was lovely and very thorough the booking and confirming all the arrangements. Trish was also really helpful at responding to queries and always came back to me really quickly. All of the team on the day were very professional and couldn't have been more helpful and kind. The team made a difficult day as easy as it could be.

How to celebrate the life of a loved one.

A celebration of life is all about honouring your loved one in a way that feels personal and meaningful. It can be part of a non-religious funeral, or a separate memorial held days or weeks later. Here are some ideas to make it special:

- Choose a dress code that reflects their personality. This could be bright colours or their favourite shade.
- Pick a unique venue or transport, like a VW campervan or a twilight service under fairy lights.
- Share music, readings, and memories that celebrate who they were.
- Add personal touches like a memory board or items that remind you of them.

To open the New Year, we will be exploring the concept of the ‘celebration of life’.

What is a Celebration of Life?
A celebration of life is a heartfelt way to honour someone who has passed by focusing on their legacy, joy, and the memories they’ve left behind. Unlike traditional funerals, these gatherings are often uplifting, encouraging family and friends to share stories and celebrate their loved one’s impact. It’s not just saying goodbye, it’s remembering how they lived and the love they gave.
