As we approach Tuesday, 11th November, we pause to honour all who served, all who sacrificed, and all who continue to protect our freedom.

Our Remembrance window display has been created to offer a quiet space for reflection. Whether you’re passing by or stopping for a moment, we invite you to take a breath, remember, and give thanks.

We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to Future Signs for designing and installing the poppy window decal.

May we never forget their courage.
We will remember them.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Excerpt from 'For the Fallen' - Robert Laurence Binyon (1869 - 1943)

Don’t forget — the clocks go back one hour this weekend. 🕰

As autumn deepens and the days grow shorter, may we all find time to slow down, reflect, and appreciate the moments that matter most. 🍂

With care,

Thinking about the future can feel difficult — but it’s one of the kindest gifts we can give our loved ones.

A funeral plan is about more than money. It’s about easing the burden, offering comfort, and making sure your final wishes are honoured with care.

The SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2025 found that only 56% of people save enough to cover funeral costs, leaving many families facing extra stress at an already painful time.

Planning ahead today means everything is arranged and paid for at today’s prices — so those you love can simply focus on remembering you.

🌿 This week, Dillamore was delighted to attend the Later Life Planning Event at Leighton Rose Care Home on Tuesday, 16th September.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with some truly lovely people, as well as other local businesses who are all passionate about supporting our community. Events like these remind us how important it is to come together, share knowledge, and provide guidance for families as they navigate later life planning.

A big thank you to Leighton Rose Care Home for hosting such a warm and welcoming event – we really enjoyed being part of it. 💚

💙 World Su***de Prevention Day – 10 September 2025 💙

Let’s start the conversation and change the narrative.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. Every 90 minutes, a life is lost to su***de in the UK or Ireland—and behind every statistic is someone who had a story, a name, and people who loved them.

Together, we can reshape the narrative.

Because every conversation matters.

Support is out there.

You’re not alone.

💙

Every year, on 10 September, organisations around the world get together to raise awareness about su***de prevention.
