🌸 Free CPD-Accredited Training for Care Home Staff 🌸

We know that working with death and grief can be challenging, and it’s not always easy to talk about. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Hospice UK to offer free CPD-accredited training for care home staff, covering palliative care, grief, emotional burnout, and the practical aspects of supporting families after a loss.

All sessions count towards your staff’s CPD hours, helping them develop professionally while supporting their team and residents.

Our sessions will help your team:
✅ Build confidence
✅ Improve communication when discussing loss
✅ Understand how to support residents and families
✅ Access practical guidance for tricky questions from families
✅ Boost staff wellbeing and morale

We can come to your premises at a time that suits you, and we’re flexible with group or 1-to-1 sessions to fit staffing levels. Plus, refreshments will be provided!

If you think this would benefit your team, get in touch with us — we’d love to help.

✨ Secure today’s prices for tomorrow’s funeral services

We’re here to answer your questions with compassion and honesty — no pressure, just support.

🌟 Special thank-you offer: If you take out a funeral plan with us and then refer a friend or family member who also takes out a plan, you’ll receive a £50 voucher as a token of our appreciation.

📍 Pop into our Burnt Oak office for a chat, or call us if you’d prefer to talk privately.

Your wishes, your way, with peace of mind. 💜

We are so sorry that you find yourself here, but we are very glad you’ve found us. Pregnancy and baby loss affects all communities, but we know that some can face additional barriers when looking for support. That's why we have created a safe space for black parents, family members and others. San...

Baby Loss Awareness Week 💗

At Sydney Hurry & Co, we regularly support families in our local community who are experiencing the heartbreak of pregnancy loss or the death of a baby.

Even if just one family goes through this pain, it is one too many. 💔

From 9th – 15th October 2025, we will be supporting Sands during Baby Loss Awareness Week.

We stand with every parent, sibling, grandparent, and loved one whose hearts carry the memory of a precious baby gone too soon.

We invite you to dedicate a ribbon on our Sands display as a symbol of love, remembrance, and support. Together, we remember. Together, we break the silence.

If you need additional support, or would like to share your memories, please feel welcome to pop in and see me. 💕

Together, we remember. Together, we break the silence. 💕

If you feel like no one understands what you are going through, we are here to listen 💜🧡

We were delighted to sponsor this year’s Young Barnet Foundation Charity Golf Day ⛳💜

The day was a fantastic success with great weather, community spirit, and plenty of energy on the course. Most importantly, it helped to raise vital funds to support children and young people in Barnet who are living in poverty or struggling due to the cost-of-living crisis.

Thanks to the generosity of everyone involved, the Young Barnet Foundation can continue to provide access to mental health services, sports, creative opportunities, and safe spaces that make a real difference to young lives.

We are proud to have played a part in this event and look forward to supporting again in the future.

📸 Here are a few moments from the day!
