On International Women’s Day, we recognise the women who bring gentleness, understanding, and steady compassion to families experiencing loss.

Their empathy makes a profound difference. Their presence brings warmth, dignity, and humanity to every family they meet.

To all the women who support grieving families with kindness and care — thank you.

On World Book Day, we’re reminded of the quiet strength that stories can offer, especially to children navigating the emotions that follow loss.

Books have a unique ability to open gentle conversations, provide reassurance, and help young minds understand feelings they may struggle to express. As funeral directors, we see first-hand how important it is for families to have compassionate tools that support children through grief, helping them feel understood and less alone.

We are proud to recognise the work of Clare Shaw, whose books are widely used by funeral directors, charities, and schools across the UK to help children and young people cope with bereavement.

“Therapeutic Stories can be used to help children process difficult emotions. They can encourage and enable children to have conversations that may otherwise overwhelm them. Identifying and understanding their emotions can help a child make sense of a situation and the possible effect it may have on them now and as they get older. It can teach them emotional skills that will help should they find themselves in a similar situation in the future.”

Titles like ‘A Mind Full of Grief’ and ‘Love Will Never Die’ offer tender thoughtful support for young minds.

This month we are exploring how Malone & Fox provide grief support to families.

In the early days after your loved one passes, grief can make even simple tasks feel heavy. At Malone & Fox walk alongside families with compassion, offering reassurance, space to breathe, and help with the arrangements when it’s hard to think clearly.

At Malone & Fox the first initial call isn't just about gathering information. It's about offering reassurance, gently guiding you through what happens next, one step at a time.

Every call is different, every story is personal. We believe every family deserves patience, compassion and clarity from the very first hello. We will always be the steady voice when it matters most.

Our team are available to offer guidance 24/7. Please get in touch if you are looking for guidance and a helping hand.

🐣Our Annual Easter Egg Appeal Is Back 🐣

As Easter approaches, we're once again asking our wonderful community to help bring a little extra joy to families who need it most.

❤A small gesture can mean the world to someone facing difficult times. Together, we can spread a little kindness, hope and chocolate across our community.

As always, every single egg will go directly to Glasgow SW Foodbank on the last Thursday before Easter, who support local families who might otherwise go without a treat this Easter.

If you are able to help, we'd be grateful for donations of any size, brand or budget, every egg truly makes a difference.

📍If you would like to donate, Easter Eggs can be dropped off at our funeral home, Monday - Friday 9am-4:30pm.

💖Thanks you as always, for your generosity and support.

Tone of voice

If you are struggling with writing your message, it may help to think about the voice of the person speaking it. You could use a favourite quote or saying your loved one used.

You could also write the message as though it is being spoken by a family member or a close friend, remembering your loved one.

If you are still struggling to choose the correct words for a headstone inscription you can always ask us for guidance. Our knowledgeable team can help guide you on pricing, designs and any restrictions, of the local church or burial site as well as offer advice on the perfect tribute for your loved one.
