The most important conversation you’ve never had.

Talking about funeral wishes is never an easy conversation — but sharing even a little can bring real peace of mind.

Sometimes the best way to begin is to keep it small and natural:
“Have you ever thought about what song you’d want played?”

A question like that can gently open the door to a meaningful, honest conversation — one that helps your family feel supported and connected, now and in the future.

Please get in touch for any help or support needed.

Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend.

As always, time is flying by, and we are almost at the end of February already. This made us think that we had better get organised for our Easter coffee morning.

Get ready to save the date - Wednesday 1st April (and no, it's not an April Fool joke) from 11:00am - 2:00pm.

Lots of yummy cakes, plus some easter treats, along with our usual tombola and raffle, all to raise funds to support Cotswold Friends.

We look forward to seeing you all, and will post a little reminder nearer the time.

Wishing you all a safe and peaceful weekend.

No fuss? No frills? No problem.

From birthdays, to weddings, christenings and anniversaries, we plan our life events to reflect who we are. Why should our final send-off be any different?

With a pre-paid direct cremation plan from Golden Charter you can say goodbye your own way, with a practical, lower cost alternative to a traditional funeral.

Pop in and see us or call for a chat to find out how to take the next step.

Here we are, at then end of January already. This week has thrown a few curve balls our way for us to overcome, including illness, and making a few little changes on our website - apologies that it has been down for a few days, but will be back up very soon.

We have also had the privilege of supporting some lovely families and have heard some truly inspirational stories, which do really put any small challenges into perspective.

Wishing everyone strength & peace.
