Today marks the start of National Grief Awareness Week. Our members, whether working in cemeteries or crematoria, are often among the first people bereaved families turn to. This week, we recognise the importance of grief care and the role we play in providing compassion, dignity and understanding at one of life’s hardest moments.

We stand with The Good Grief Trust and the hundreds of bereavement organisations they represent, to shine a light on grief, normalise conversations about loss, and signpost to the support available across the UK.

If someone you know is bereaved, whether recently or some time ago, please encourage them to seek help. The Good Grief Trust offers a national database of charities and services offering emotional and practical support, available to everyone, anytime.

Let’s use this week to remind ourselves and others: grief does not follow a set timetable. There is no “correct” way to feel. What matters is that no one faces loss alone.

We are proud to announce our latest donations from the ICCM - Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management Orthometals scheme. These donations come from the proceeds of recycling metal & orthopaedic implants following a cremation. We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to all the families of the bereaved that have helped us donate a total of £10,000 between 3 amazing charities. This year we have chosen Survivors of Bereavement by Su***de - SOBS, they offer peer-led support groups, online support and a national telephone helpline. Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People, helping brighten short lives across the East Midlands with the amazing work they do working with families to support them. Cruse Bereavement Support, helping people through one of the most painful times in life- with bereavement support, information and campaigning.

Today is Funeral Celebrant Day. It gives us a moment to recognise the role of Funeral Celebrants. It brings attention to those who craft and lead meaningful, personal farewells. Celebrants give families choices and a sense of control when grief weighs heavily. They are guides, story-writers, planners and speakers- all in one caring package. We are thankful to all the Celebrants who hold services here at Rushcliffe Oaks and we think you are rather special ❤️

We would like to wish our Maisie a very Happy Birthday ! She may be 11 but she still bounces into work and provides comfort to those in need. She also loves nothing more than sharing our Head Groundsman Sam’s packed lunch, especially if he has sausage rolls! Thank you Maisie for being you ❤️
