✨ Feeling truly blessed ✨

Over the past week, we have been touched by the kindness of families who entrusted us to care for their loved ones during such important times. We have received beautiful gifts and heartfelt cards as thank yous, and each one has reminded us why we do what we do.

It’s never about recognition—it’s about being there when people need support the most. But these gestures mean so much, and we are deeply grateful for the thoughtfulness behind them.

To everyone who has reached out: thank you. Your appreciation inspires us to continue giving the very best care, compassion, and dedication. 💜From Dan,Kate and Ashley

🎄✨ What a wonderful day in the beautiful village of Charwelton! My family and I joined the Christmas wreath‑making workshop at the village hall, and it was such a joy to see the community come together.

🌿 With over 80 wreath orders, the hall was buzzing with creativity and festive spirit. We purchased one ourselves, which now proudly hangs on the door of John Ward & Son — a perfect touch of Christmas cheer.

🙏 A huge thank you to all the incredible volunteers at the village hall for your hard work and warm welcome. Your efforts made the day so special, and every penny raised will go towards the Charwelton Church fund.

💚 Feeling grateful to be part of such a supportive and festive community!

🎄✨ Festive Window at John Ward & Son Funeral Directors ✨🎄

We’re delighted to share our beautifully decorated festive window with you all – a small way of bringing light, warmth, and cheer to our community this season.

Alongside our window, we’d like to gently remind everyone about our Memorial Tree. This special tree offers a place to hang a tag in memory of a loved one, creating a touching display of remembrance and togetherness during the holidays.

From all of us at John Ward & Son, we wish you peace, comfort, and joy this Christmas. ❤️

🌻🐝🧦

Today at St Mary the Virgin Church, Great Brickhill, Milton Keynes, we gathered to say farewell to a beautiful young lady, taken from this world far too soon at just 22 years old.

She had a heart full of sunshine, a love for bumble bees, sunflowers, and the joy of Christmas socks. As a tribute to her spirit, myself and my bearers wore bumble bee ties, badges, and Christmas socks — a small way to honour the things she loved and to carry her memory with us.

Though her time here was short, her light touched so many. May we continue to remember her with every sunflower we see, every bee that buzzes by, and every pair of cheerful socks that makes us smile.

Forever in our hearts 💛

🌊 A Life by the Sea 🌊

Today we said goodbye to a true gentleman whose heart always belonged to the seaside. From the sound of the waves to the salty breeze, the shore was his place of peace and joy.

In honour of his love for the coast, his family chose a beautifully tailor-made seaside coffin — a fitting tribute to the life he lived and the memories he cherished.

Though he has set sail on his final journey, his spirit will forever be carried in the tides and in the hearts of those who loved him. 💙

From Monday 1st December and throughout this festive period, there will be a special Memorial Christmas Tree in our reception.

The Memorial Christmas Tree gives family and friends an opportunity to remember and pay tribute to their loved ones who have passed away.

We have, in the last week or so sent letters with memorial stars out to all of the families we have looked after over the past 12 months.

If you feel it is appropriate for you and your family then we invite you to place your own personal tribute on our Memorial Christmas Tree.

If there are any other relatives or friends who’d like to place a star on our Christmas Tree then please either visit us or call the branch on 01327 300033 Daniel,Ashley and Kate would love to see you and help you anyway we can.
