With the festive season upon us, we have put our "Memory Tree" in place today, with heart tags for you to write and hang on it's branches, in memory of loved ones lost. As you can see, there are a few already there.

It is such a difficult time of year for many people, so if you think it might bring a little comfort, pop in and place a heart on our tree, and maybe take one of our little candles home with you to light in their memory too.

Wishing you all strength and peace this weekend.

Did you know that some national direct cremation providers transport loved ones hundreds of miles away to centralised crematoria? This can mean delays, unexpected costs and a less personal experience for families.

At Allen & Son, we do things differently. As a local, independent funeral director, we offer:

A personal and compassionate approach
Local cremation, keeping your loved one close to home
Transparent pricing – no hidden extras
Support before, during, and after the cremation

Direct cremation can be a simple yet dignified choice, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Want to learn more? Contact us to chat through further details.

Wishing everyone a peaceful weekend.

Lest We Forget.......

It was mine and James’ wedding anniversary this week – 15 years of being Mr & Mrs Drury. It made us both think of how quickly time flies by, but also how anniversaries make you reflect on life – we are both so proud and privileged to be able to work together, side by side, in the profession that we do. To support and guide families through one of the worst times in their lives whilst caring for their loved ones with the utmost dignity and respect. We really can’t put into words how honoured we feel, and then how humbling it is when we receive such lovely feedback from families:

Shared with the kind permission of the family:
Diane and James were absolutely wonderful at what was a very difficult time for us. The support they provided was sensitive and compassionate and delivered in a kind and caring manner while remaining professional and dignified. Everything was communicated and explained clearly and there was no pressure to make any decisions until we were ready to do so. Nothing was too much trouble and their attention to detail was first class. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Of course, we love to support our community too, with our regular coffee mornings, which are always very much enjoyed by everyone attending, whilst raising valuable funds to support the work of Cotswold Friends

Thinking of our loved ones and remembering all those lives lost this Remembrance Sunday.

Thank you to you all for all your support.
