Mark F H Rae Funeral Services

18/04/2026

We welcome the announcement from Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP on plans to lead on the regulation of the funeral sector.

For families, this matters. Everyone deserves to know their loved one will be treated with dignity, respect and care and that those who fall short will be held to account.

For our profession, it’s equally important that any changes recognise the reality: the vast majority of funeral professionals uphold the highest standards every day, supporting people through their most difficult moments with compassion and integrity.

We will work with Government to help shape regulation that protects the public, while standing up for the professionalism and commitment of our members.

Dignity in death isn’t optional but the standard our profession is built on

In the quiet corners of our Chapel of Rest, time slows down. We believe that having a peaceful, private space to say goodbye is a vital part of the healing journey.

We’ve curated an environment of soft light and total privacy, allowing you the stillness you need to honor your loved one’s memory. Whether it’s for a final prayer, a quiet conversation, or a moment of reflection, our doors—and our hearts—are open to you.

🕯️ Visits are available by appointment to ensure your absolute privacy.

Today, on Easter Sunday, we’re reminded of hope, renewal, and the importance of remembering those we love. 🌿

For many, this time of year can bring both comfort and reflection — holding close the memories of those who are no longer with us, while finding strength in the love they leave behind.

Whether you are spending today with family, reflecting quietly, or remembering someone special, we’re thinking of you. 🤍

Wishing our community a peaceful and gentle Easter.
