Some farewells are quieter, some are unique—and some are beautifully unforgettable.

Recently, we were entrusted with arranging a final journey on a Harley Davidson for a family whose loved one lived life with a love for the road and the freedom it brought.

We’re grateful to have helped honour such a meaningful tribute and create a farewell that truly reflected their spirit.

THROW BACK THURSDAY

Celebrating One Year of Maldon Fields Crematorium and Gardens.

A year ago this week Maldon Fields Crematorium opened its doors for the very first time, bringing a calm, modern and compassionate space to our local community.

Today we are sharing before and after photos to reflect on just how far this beautiful place has come.

Having Maldon Fields so close to home means local families no longer have to travel to further locations. It offers a gentle, serene environment designed with care, understanding and respect.

The Victorian Roots of the Morning Suit in Funeral Service

The morning suit that funeral directors wear today has its origins in the Victorian era — a time when mourning customs were deeply symbolic and strictly observed.

In Victorian society, clothing spoke volumes. The morning coat, with its distinctive tailcoat front and understated elegance, became a mark of propriety and respect. Funeral professionals adopted this attire to reflect dignity, discipline, and a solemn presence during a time of loss.

Today, we continue that tradition. Wearing a morning suit isn’t just about formality — it’s a quiet nod to history. It reminds us of the generations of funeral professionals who served families with compassion long before us, and it honours the enduring values of respect, humility, and care.

Victorian traditions may have evolved, but the meaning remains the same: to uphold dignity and support families with grace during their most difficult moments.

Here are two pictures from then and now.

MEMORIAL MONDAY

Some families like to have a small commemorative memorial to keep at home in addition to something on the grave.

The ideal solution is a stone flower vase that can be left plain or inscribed. In South Woodham Ferrers, the town Garden of Rest accept vases up to 8" square.

Please get in touch to discuss a solution for you
