This Mother's Day we will be holding in our thoughts all those who are missing their Mother or a Mother figure, and Mother's who are bereaved of a child.

Flowers will be available at the entrance to our Memorial Grounds for you to either place it on a memorial or take it home with you, Cards will be available for you in our Book Of Remembrance room if you wish to write one and post it in our Letters to loved ones post box 💌

🌹Memories in the heart - Unknown Author🌹

Feel no guilt in laughter, she knows how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she’s not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever, she would not want you to.
She’d hope that you can carry on, the way you always do.

So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared.
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you.
A word someone may say, Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day

That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings that she is always near.
For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safe within your heart ❤️

Every year, we collect literally hundreds of Easter eggs for the children at Musgrove Park Hospital 🐰

More than ever, we know times are difficult, so this year we also would like to split the eggs we collect with the local food larder AND the children at Musgrove 🐰

Thank you to everyone that donates even the smallest egg -they all add up to an amazing amount - they are handed out not just to patients on the children’s ward but to their siblings at Musgrove Hospital too and so every little egg goes to someone special 💕

If you are able, please do pop an egg into us - (give us a call first to check we are in the office 01278 664400)
or just call and we can collect from you

Thank you everyone 💕

👉The funeral you want – or the farewell they need? ⚱️

In recent years, direct cremation providers such as Pure Cremation have changed the way funerals are discussed in the UK.
The message is clear:
🟣No fuss.
🟣No ceremony.
🟣Lower cost.
🟣The funeral you want.
For some people, that will feel entirely right, but as independent funeral directors serving families across Somerset, we believe there is another question worth asking:
"When someone dies, is the funeral really about what they wanted, or about what the people left behind need?"

For bereaved parents who are a few years down the track, there can be a quieter kind of heartbreak — one that doesn’t always get seen.

The messages slow. The check-ins stop. People no longer ask how you’re really going, as though time has neatly taken care of things. Your child’s name is mentioned less and less. Stories are no longer shared. It can feel as though the world has quietly agreed to move on, while you are still living every day with the absence that changed everything.

Sometimes others talk freely about their problems — the frustrations, the stresses, the everyday worries — and you listen, carrying the weight of the biggest loss imaginable. Not because you don’t care, but because your life has been reshaped in a way that can’t be fixed, solved, or put behind you.

There’s often an unspoken assumption that because time has passed, the pain must be in the past too. That it’s over. That it’s best not to bring it up. But grief doesn’t work like that. Love doesn’t work like that.

You still think of your child every single day. You still carry them into every conversation, every season, every ordinary moment. And sometimes you’re still quietly waiting for someone to ask, “How are you really?” — but the question doesn’t come.
