At times, we’re reminded that family isn’t only made up of people. Our pets hold a special place in our hearts — they bring comfort, loyalty, and unconditional love every single day. Recently, we said goodbye to one of our much-loved companions, Barney, and his loss has been deeply felt by all of us.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Beloved Pet Funeral Care for their compassion and professionalism throughout. Their gentle care and attention to detail brought great comfort at a very difficult time, and we are truly grateful.

Grief comes in many forms, and the love we share with our animals is every bit as real and enduring as any other bond. Barney will always be part of our family — remembered with love and gratitude. 🐾

Today, we pause to honour the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness of those who gave their lives in service to our country.

As funeral directors, we are privileged to help families and communities remember and pay tribute to those who served — ensuring their stories, bravery, and spirit live on.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
