🌟 Meet Lucy our Funeral Service Arranger at Baguley Brothers 🌟

We’re proud to introduce Lucy, one of our dedicated Funeral Service Arrangers here at Baguley Brothers funeral directors.
Lucy has been part of the team for the past 6 years, bringing a wealth of experience from her previous career in administration. Her journey into funeral care began when a close friend encouraged her to apply and it turned out to be the perfect fit. Lucy's calm and empathetic approach helps families feel reassured at a very difficult time.
Lucy says: "The most rewarding part of my job is knowing I’ve helped bereaved families give their loved ones the best send-off possible. Caring for someone is a privilege, and when families say things like 'you made this easier' or 'it was beautiful,' those words mean everything."
Lucy understands how overwhelming funeral planning can be and offers this heartfelt advice: “It’s okay to lean on your funeral director, involve close family and friends, or accept help with tasks like flower arrangements. Delegating can make a big difference.”
Outside of work, Lucy enjoys long walks with her family, holidays, and a bit of DIY.
We’re incredibly lucky to have Lucy as part of our compassionate team 💜

Ever wondered why funeral directors sometimes walk in front of the hearse?
The tradition of paging in funerals dates back to the Victorian era, when funeral processions were grand and ceremonial.
A funeral director would walk ahead of the hearse, clearing the way and signaling the arrival of the deceased as a gesture of deep respect and solemnity.
While times have changed, the essence of paging remains. Today, it often involves coordinating the simultaneous start of all vehicles in a procession, ensuring a smooth and dignified final journey.
A beautiful tradition that we continue at Baguley Brothers to honour lives with grace and reverence.

Grateful for Green Spaces
In the middle of life’s hustle, we feel incredibly lucky to have beautiful green spaces nearby. Woodthorpe Park is perfect for a short walk, a quiet sit under the trees, or just breathing in the fresh air, these moments of calm are so important for mental wellbeing.
Taking time out in nature helps us reset, reflect, and recharge. It’s a gentle reminder that even small pauses can make a big difference.
If you’ve got a park, a garden, or even a leafy street nearby, don’t forget to take a moment for yourself. Your mind will thank you.

🌈🐾 Walking to Remember – In Honour of Our Beloved Pets 🐾🌈

This Sunday, 14th September, Our Funeral Director Dawn will be taking part in the RSPCA’s Walk to Remember, this is a special event held on National Pet Memorial Day.
So many people feel heartbroken after losing a pet, the grief is real, yet so often carried quietly and alone.
Walk to Remember allows us to honour the pets who’ve left pawprints on our hearts. It’s a chance to come together, reflect, and celebrate the unconditional love they gave us, while helping animals still in need.
Dawn will be walking in memory of the pets who’ve touched her life, and would be grateful for your support. Every donation helps turn precious memories into meaningful support, letting the love live on through every penny raised.

Please donate if you can and let’s walk together in spirit to remember, heal, and help. https://www.justgiving.com/page/dawn-henderson-0709?utm_medium=FR&utm_source=WA

🌿 What Can You Do With Ashes After a Cremation? 🌿
After a cremation, many families ask us “What are our options for the ashes?”
There is no one singular answer. It’s a deeply personal choice and there are many meaningful ways to honour your loved one’s memory.
Here are just a few options to consider:
Keep Them Close – In a traditional urn at home, or in keepsake jewellery
Return to Nature – Scattering in a special place, or burying in a biodegradable urn
At Sea – A water scattering ceremony can be peaceful and symbolic
Memorial Ideas – Ashes can be incorporated into glass art, tattoos, or even fireworks
Final Resting Place – Placement in a columbarium, memorial garden, or family plot

Whatever you choose, we’re here to support you with care, compassion, and guidance.
If you’d like to talk through your options, please don’t hesitate to get in touch on: 01159 605197 or pop in for a chat.
