🧸During Children's Mental Health Week, it is vital to acknowledge the impact of grief on young people and validate their emotional experiences.

A J Lloyd Funeral Directors recognises the unique needs of grieving children and offers resources to support families during sensitive times. Specifically, we provide a gentle book designed to guide young children through the grieving process, which has proven to be a valuable tool for the families we serve.

We are also committed to connecting families with other organisations that specialise in providing support for children's mental health, should this be needed 🧸

Today is World Cancer Day.

At times like these, we pause to honour the lives lost to cancer, to recognise the families forever changed, and to acknowledge the quiet strength shown by so many in the face of diagnosis, treatment, and loss.

In our profession, we are privileged to witness profound love, courage, and connection — even in the hardest moments. We are reminded that remembrance is not only about grief, but about celebrating lives lived and bonds that endure.

To everyone affected by cancer — those we have lost, those currently fighting, and those who continue to remember — you are in our thoughts today.

A final tribute, thoughtfully presented.
Our Order of Service booklets are designed with care, helping families honour and remember their loved ones beautifully.
Because every life deserves a meaningful farewell. 🤍

Humanist-led vs Celebrant-led services – what’s the difference?

When arranging a funeral, families often ask about the type of service they can choose. Two popular non-religious options are Humanist-led and Celebrant-led services. While they may sound similar, there are important differences.

🔹 Humanist-led service
A Humanist service is led by an accredited Humanist celebrant and follows Humanist principles. It is entirely non-religious and focuses on the life, values, and legacy of the person who has died, without prayers, hymns, or references to spirituality or an afterlife. Humanist celebrants are trained and regulated by Humanists UK.

🔹 Celebrant-led service
A celebrant-led service is also non-religious but more flexible in approach. Independent celebrants are not tied to a single belief system, so families may choose to include spiritual elements, poetry, music, or symbolic rituals if they wish. Training and styles can vary between celebrants.

💙 Which is right for you?
Both options are personal, meaningful, and centred on the individual. The right choice depends on whether you prefer a strictly non-religious philosophy or a more flexible, personalised format.

If you’d like to talk through the options or need guidance, we’re always here to help 🕊

As January draws to a close, Karen would like to share with you all some gentle words...

A new year, a new month, a new beginning because the world keeps turning irrespective of how we're feeling.
As we close the pages of January and see the beautiful optimistic snowdrops again it's hard to fall out with the world.
There's new life and a continuous cycle...

Donna Ashworth speaks of 'great grief' in this poem that only comes from great love.
Let us be thankful as we step a little further away from the short days and back into the light.
Let us use that great love to help us see the joys of the world.

GREAT GRIEF 🕊

Don’t fall out of love with the world
because they no longer live in it.

Instead be grateful that this world produced them
be glad that this life ever existed
and that you were blessed enough
to love them then and love them still.

Don’t fall out of love with this world
because it could not keep your heart whole
instead let love be the glue
patch it up and fill it with joy
joy that you know first-hand
in this bittersweet conundrum

That great grief is born only of great love 🤍
