Today is International Women’s Day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The funeral profession used to be seen as a very traditional, male dominated industry.

But look around today and you’ll see something very different.

Across funeral homes, crematoriums, mortuaries and suppliers, women are playing a bigger role than ever. Arranging services, leading teams, caring for families and shaping the future of the profession.

We see it every day in our own business too.

From the ladies in our own service team supporting funeral directors across the country, they are a huge part of what keeps everything moving.

Professional. Skilled. Dedicated. Caring.

The funeral industry is stronger because of them.

We are always here for a cuppa for those who want to talk 🥰🥰

I talk a lot about my loss, my grief 💔

Not for sympathy, and not because I’m stuck, but because I’ve been on this road for over thirteen years now.

A road I never wanted to travel.

When I share parts of my journey,
my only hope is that if you’re somewhere behind me in your own grief, you might feel a little less alone in it.

Grief can feel incredibly isolating.
It can make you feel like you’re walking through a life that nobody else quite understands.

But there are others on this road too.
Some a little further ahead.
Some just beginning.
Some walking beside you without even realising it.

When we share our stories, something gentle happens.
The road doesn’t necessarily get easier,
but it can start to feel less lonely.

Maybe you’ll recognise a few of the potholes.
Maybe you’ll see that the difficult stretches are something many of us stumble through.
And maybe, just maybe, you’ll find a little reassurance in the peaceful stretches too. Those unexpected moments where the air feels lighter and you realise that hope still exists alongside grief.

None of us chose this road.
But together, by sharing and listening and understanding,
we can help each other find our way along it. I hope each one you know that this is a space where you can talk a lot about your loss, your grief 💔

Beautiful flowers from various florists for the funeral of the late Rachael Cook.

Rachael was a genuine one off - as real as they come… they absolutely broke the mould when they made her! A total firecracker - 100 mile an hour in every way, she was fully passionate about everything she did! No half measures with Rachael - she threw herself in feet first and took everything to the absolute extreme. She was like the Tasmanian Devil, she’d explode into the room and after she left you’d be stunned, like, ‘what the ---- just happened?!’

And when Rachael loved you, she loved you with ALL that she had.

She also had the most caring, compassionate side and would rush in to be there for anyone- whether she knew them or not. Couldn’t stand cruelty, couldn’t stand to see anyone struggle- even when she was in hospital herself, facing a devastating diagnosis, Rachael was comforting other patients, offering hugs, help and support asking if there was anything she could do- she had a huge, fiercely loving heart.

Rachael has been cruelly taken, far, far too soon, and leaves behind a heartbroken family who adore her - not least her beautiful nieces and nephews who were her world, and her precious little boy Jasper. Despite the terrible heartache of missing her, please keep sharing all your favourite stories and memories with him, so that he can grow up with a strong sense of the utterly irreplaceable woman- the force of nature- that he can forever be proud to say was his Mam.

Sleep tight Rachael
💗🤍💗🤍
