Durrant Funeral Services

11/02/2026

Applause at a funeral is a growing trend that can be quite polarising. It’s shifting from the traditional quiet moment to a more uplifting "celebration of life" approach, often used to honour the deceased or support the speakers.

While many people see it as a heartfelt, lively, and joyful way to pay tribute, some critics feel it might take the focus away from the person who has passed.

Personally, I believe that encouraging each other with applause and warm welcomes can be a wonderful thing, adding a touch of positivity to difficult moments. It is also a very positive way to collectively show our appreciation to the person who has died.

What are your thoughts?

Wow! 😳

Discovered in St Bride’s Church Crypt, London was this rare iron coffin - a 19th century invention designed to stop body snatchers from stealing corpses.

The crypt also contained a medieval charnel house where the bones of over 7,000 Londoners are stacked in neat, geometric patterns.
