National Funeral Planning Awareness Week

This week is a reminder to have the important conversations we often put off. Talking about funeral wishes with family and friends can make a world of difference when the time comes.

Why is it important to talk about your funeral wishes?
• It relieves your loved ones from making tough decisions during a difficult time
• It helps ensure your wishes are honoured
• It creates peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of

Starting the conversation now means your family will know exactly what you want, reducing stress and confusion in the future.

Take the first step today - start talking with your loved ones. It’s a gift of care for both you and your family.

Together, we can make funeral planning easier for you and your family.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of John Heal.
Much loved Husband of the late Monica, Dad of Paul, Ali and Simon and
a loving Grampy who will be sadly missed by all his family.

When the time comes that we need to engage the services of a Funeral Director, we believe that trust is of paramount importance.
This is why it is important to select a Funeral Director who is a member of a recognised trade association. Collier & Brian Funeral Directors are proud members of both the National Association of Funeral Directors and SAIF independent funeral directors and as such are regularly inspected. We are also regularly inspected by the IFSO (the Independent Funeral Standards Organisation), to ensure that our premises, facilities and team achieve the highest possible standards.
If you have any queries, or wish to discuss any aspect of our services, please do not hesitate to contact us.
