Did you know that we partner with an amazing company called EverWith Memorial Jewellery who not only specialise in creating bespoke jewellery pieces from your loved ones ashes but they can also help honour the life and love of your cherished pet. Using a small amount of ashes, we craft stunning keepsakes — from elegant pendants to delicate rings and charms— each one as unique as the bond you shared.

A beautiful way to celebrate their life, their love, and their lasting place in your heart. 🕊️

Any of our branch staff can help show you the beautiful ranges available and make the ordering process easy so feel free to call and have a chat 😊

Then and Now of our fantastic Janet at our Bromley branch. Around 15 years difference!

As you can see Jan has always made her branch window look special to commemorate Remembrance Day and this year is no different with her beautiful display honouring local war heroes from her community ♥️

Our Bexleyheath team Elaine and Richard who is a reservist himself for The Royal Engineers have organised a fantastic information display from East Wickham and Welling War Memorial Trust to mark Remembrance Day.

It truly is so interesting and humbling to read and realise how our local community was affected. Please feel free to call in at 217 Broadway, Bexleyheath, DA6 7EJ and have a read if you are in the area. We will even put the kettle on so you can have a cuppa while you read 😊☕️🇬🇧

Also a shout out to the knitted poppies that were donated to us last year ♥️

Our lovely new Funeral Specialist Kat has given our Locksbottom branch a very special new window display for Remembrance Day. We invite you to visit our branch for a cuppa and a chance to explore our special display, dedicated to the brave men and women from our community who served our country.

Take a moment to read their incredible stories, learn about their sacrifices, and reflect on the legacy they’ve left behind. ♥️

📍 Visit us in branch (332 Crofton Road) to see the display and pay your respects.

Last week we delivered some of our beautiful hearts that have been so kindly donated to us to the Children’s Ward at The Princess Royal Hospital. The idea being that one heart can be the child who is sadly having a stay in hospital and the matching heart is for any parent or sibling that may still be at home. So that even though they are apart it may bring them a small bit of comfort 💗💙

A big thank you as always to Comforting Hearts for always keeping us topped up with your beautiful hearts 🙏😊
