JOHN HEAL

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.

John will be remembered by so many families in Coleford and district as a jovial character who, for more than 50 years, served our local community in times of sorrow.

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.

Collier & Brain Funeral Directors Ltd are proud to announce that in 2025 our families have raised an incredible £32,130 in memory of their loved ones for charity.
£20,030 of this has been given online though our online tribute pages created in conjunction with MuchLoved.
What a wonderful amount collected for charities (many of whom are local to the community we serve).
Gifting online is easy to do and means that Gift-Aid can also be added onto your donation- meaning the charity get even more from each donation.
Our personalised pages are free of charge and act as both a funeral notice and a lasting tribute to your loved one, where photos and thoughts can be added.
What a wonderful amount collected for charities (many of whom are local to the community we serve).

For many, this time of year is a time of reflection. A MuchLoved tribute page offers a unique space to remember, share, and celebrate the life of a loved one. 🎁 Personalise your page with photos, cherished memories, and stories, and invite family and friends to connect in memory. If you’d like to create a tribute, speak to one of our team, we'd love to help.

As the year draws to a close, it’s common to think of the people who are special to us – especially those we've lost. That’s why we’ve chosen to take part in Light a Candle.
