Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent- a season of reflection, humility, and hope.

Today we are reminded, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”

In our profession, we walk alongside families in life’s most sacred moments. Ash Wednesday gently calls us to reflect on the fragility of life and the enduring promise of faith, renewal, and resurrection.

May this season bring comfort to those who grieve and strength to those who serve.

As we welcome the Lunar New Year, we extend our warmest wishes to all families celebrating within our community.

Chinese New Year is a time to honour family, remember ancestors, and look forward with hope and renewal. At this special time, we recognise the importance of tradition, remembrance, and paying respect to those who came before us.

Wishing you peace, prosperity, and good fortune in the year ahead. 🏮✨

Brighter days are on their way and before we know it the flowers will be in bloom! The sunset will start to gradually move forward and this is how the next few months will look ☀️🌱

- February - the sun begins to set after 5.30pm

- March - evenings draw out towards 6.30pm (and suddenly feel much lighter)

- April - daylight lingers until around 8pm

- May - long, calm evenings arrive, with sunsets close to 9pm

We can't wait to see those fresh green shoots and watch the grounds burst into colour - the quiet sense of renewal that comes with the changing season and a reminder that brighter days, in every sense, are always ahead. 🌸🌿

Valentine’s Day can bring a mix of emotions, especially when someone we love is no longer with us.

Today, we’re holding space for anyone remembering someone special. 💗

Their love stays with us, always.

14/02/2026

🩷 This Valentine’s Day, we’re reminded that love is the most meaningful gift we share in a lifetime.

Take a moment today to reach out, say the words and cherish the people who make your world brighter.

Grief and love often sit side by side - and however you’re feeling, you’re not alone. Take your time, be gentle with yourself and know that support is always within reach. 🩷
