🕊️🕯️ With Kind Permission from Mrs Elaine Dorothy Sellers family 🕯️🕊️

🕊️🕯️ Yesterday afternoon I was Privileged to Support a lovely family from My Rochford community in Honouring Life's Memories 🕯️ For a Special Lady, Elaine Dorothy Sellers.

🕊️🕯️ Elaine lived at Coachman Court along the Ashingdon Road for a number of years and was the life and soul of the residents who live there, especially gatherings and functions, joining in and dancing to her love of 60s music.

🕊️🕯️ Her two sons along with her daughter in laws and grandchildren meant everything to her and spending time with them made for the most Precious Memories being made.

🕊️🕯️ Elaine wished for a Traditional yet Simple Funeral so her sons chose the Beautiful Hardwick Medium Oak Veneer Coffin from my coffin manufacturer Steve Soult Limited with a single rose ornament at the head of the coffin. The family decided following mum's wishes that they would meet at Basildon and District Crematorium so a Hearse was only fitting for the final journey. On arrival both her sons walked each side of the Jaguar XJ Hearse the short walk to the Chapel where the rest of the family and friends were gathered. Her sons, grandson and nephew carried her into the chapel, a fitting tribute to her love for them. I was Privileged to also support the family in leading the Celebration of Life service as their minister and before the service started, on Remembrance Day we rose and stood in a minute silence, something Elaine acknowledged each year herself.

After the service the family gathered at the flower terrace before leaving for the reception venue to continue Remembering a very special lady.

🕊️ Rest in Eternal Peace Elaine 🕊️

🎩 Are you Retired or just looking for some casual work?

🎩 I'm looking for some casual chauffeurs and bearers to assist with supporting myself and my trade hire support funeral directors in caring for families. The role does require some lifting and carrying when called upon. A clean driving licence is required.

🎩 In the first instance please send a message to me if this is of interest and we can then arrange for a chat to see if this is a position you would like to do.

🕊️🕯️ With Kind Permission from Mrs Agnes Appiah Akuffo's Family 🕯️🕊️

🕊️🕯️ I was Blessed to Honour Life's Memories today for a wonderful lady from our Ghanaian Community Mrs Agnes Appiah Akuffo 🙏🏼 Mum to a very dear old school friend Sammy Akuffo and his brother Theo 🕯️🕊️

🕊️🕯️ Mum's wishes were for a Traditional Ghanaian Service and Sam chose the Beautiful Regency Solid Mahogany Casket from my coffin manufacturer Steve Soult Limited and this had a handmade Kente from Ghana laid on top. Mrs Agnes Appiah Akuffo's final journey would be in the Stunning Pilato Jaguar XJ Hearse with a matching Jaguar XJ Limousine to follow as we made our way to St Joseph's Catholic Church in Grange Park Road E10 for her service led by Father Gerry before continuing her journey to The City of London Cemetery and Crematorium for burial. Following tradition, the family and friends assisted in placing the earth back within the grave before the ladies dressed her resting place with the beautiful flowers brought along 🕯️🕊️

🕊️🕯️ I was also Blessed to see several other school friends today along with other members of the community I have met before over many years of continuing to Care for and Support my communities 🙏🏼 after the service we returned to the church hall for a small reception 🕯️🕊️

🕊️ Rest in Eternal Peace Agnes Appiah Akuffo 🕊️

🎩 As I have done since starting out on my own business, I have taken the decision to again hold my fees for the coming year ahead. Third party fees rise each year for which I have no control of, but I wish to make sure that those families I'm Privileged to Support are getting the same quality of service from myself and they know that I offer the best advice on the financial options available in Honouring Life's Memories 🕯️ For All Eternity 🕊️ for their loved ones.
