We are still reflecting on the truly special atmosphere in Bedworth yesterday, November 11th.

The annual Armistice Day Parade through our town was, as always, a deeply moving and significant occasion. It was heartening to see so many residents, families, and organisations come together in solemn respect to honour the memory of those who served and sacrificed.

Moments like these highlight the strong community spirit and shared history that make Bedworth so special. We were proud to be part of such a meaningful commemoration.

We remember them.

Standing in Silence, Together: Bedworth Armistice Day 2025

As a funeral director serving the Bedworth community for over 100 years, Armistice Day is a particularly poignant occasion for us. Today, Tuesday, 11th November 2025, the "Town That Never Forgets" honours the incredible legacy of courage and ultimate sacrifice.

J E Hackett & Sons are proud supporters of the Bedworth Armistice Day Parade. We stand with our neighbours to reflect, remember, and ensure the price of freedom is never forgotten.

We invite everyone to observe the solemn Two-Minute Silence at the 11th hour, a moment that connects our past with our present. Their sacrifice paved the way for the peace we share today.

At the 11th hour, we will observe the two-minute silence, holding in our hearts the memory of the fallen. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Dedicated to remembering the precious babies
who have left us too soon through miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, or early childhood death.
The grief of losing a child is an experience no parent ever anticipates. During this week, we want to acknowledge the profound love,
the unimaginable pain, and the enduring strength of the families who carry this silent sorrow every day. Join us in shining a light on this important week, fostering understanding, and remembering all the precious babies who touched lives, even if only for a moment.

Today is World Mental Health Day.
For many, grief is a deeply personal and often isolating journey, and it can profoundly impact our mental well-being. At J E Hackett and Sons, we understand that mental health is just as important as physical health, especially during times of loss. We want to gently remind everyone in our community that it's okay not to be okay. It's okay to seek support, to talk about your feelings, and to lean on others. Please remember, you are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, whether due to grief or any other challenge, please reach out. There are resources available, and there are people who care.
A simple conversation can make a world of difference.

On Saturday 4th October 2025 we were deeply honoured to contribute to the remembrance of a true local hero. As both funeral directors and stone masons, we were entrusted with crafting the new plaque for the Fusilier Louis Carter Memorial in Riversley Park, Nuneaton.
It was a privilege to use our craft to ensure that Fusilier Carter's sacrifice—and his memory—is permanently and beautifully marked for the community.
Thank you to The Fusiliers Association (Nuneaton & Bedworth Branch) for allowing us to play a part in the Re-dedication service. Seeing the community gather to remember Louis Carter was a moving and deeply meaningful occasion.
Lest we forget the brave men and women who served.
