🕊️ We were truly touched to receive a beautiful card from a family we recently supported following the loss of their dad.

Losing a parent is never easy. It is the loss of a lifetime of memories, stories, guidance and love. In moments like that, families are carrying so much, and to take the time to write to us means more than we can ever fully express.

Cards like this fill us with immense pride. To be trusted with such an important farewell, and to help guide a family through one of the hardest journeys they will ever face, is a responsibility we never take lightly.

Supporting a family and ensuring their loved one receives the finest and most dignified farewell goes above everything. Knowing we have helped bring even a small measure of comfort during such a painful time is why we do what we do.

We will leave you with the words of our late great Queen, Elizabeth II:

“Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love.”

To the family, thank you for your kindness and trust. You remain in our thoughts.

🕯️ “Thank you Simon and all your team, we could not fault anything that you did or said in helping us deal with mum's funeral.

You were all fantastic, the compassion and understanding were second to none. A special thank you to Simon for allowing Alfie to lead the car. He did a fantastic job, also thank you to Simon's mum for being a lovely lady when I came back in to see mum.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Joyce. It truly means a great deal to Simon and the whole team”

🕊️ Every life is different and every farewell should reflect that.

If there is a place that held special meaning, such as a family home, a favourite location, or a route past Scunthorpe United FC, we will do our very best to include this as part of the final journey, where possible.

We are always happy to talk through any wishes you may have.

🕯️ Every review we receive carries real meaning.

In moments of loss and grief, for families to take the time to leave such kind words is deeply humbling and never taken for granted.

“After my mum passed away, Simon & his staff were amazing, all the questions were answered & I am proud to say my mum had the send off she deserved. Alfie did an amazing Job of leading the funeral on the day & taking care of my mum. Thank you to everyone at Ashby Funeral Care”

Thank you, Steven Thompson. Caring for your mum and supporting your family was an honour and a privilege.

🕊️ It’s a common belief that once a will is in place, everything is taken care of.

It’s an understandable thought, but it isn’t always the full picture.

A will deals with legal matters such as estates and responsibilities. Funeral arrangements are separate, and unless wishes have been discussed or planned, families are often left having to make difficult decisions at an already emotional time.

This is where gentle, local guidance can really help.

By talking things through in advance, you can make your wishes known and ease the pressure on those you love.

Some people also choose to put financial arrangements in place through options such as Golden Charter funeral plans, which can offer reassurance and peace of mind.

There is no right or wrong time and no obligation. It’s simply about understanding your options and knowing that support is there when you need it.

If you ever want a quiet conversation or some guidance, we are always here to help.

I noticed this the other evening as I walked past.

Our sign lit up in the dark.

It stopped me in my tracks.

That light reminded me of what we try to be for people at the darkest point in their lives. A steady presence. A guiding light. Someone local. Someone who knows the community and the families we serve.

There are no words that truly explain how rewarding this work is. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s my life and my passion.

I know national funeral companies support many families, but being a local independent qualified funeral director is different. It’s personal. We don’t just serve families, we know them. We see them years later in the supermarket, in the street, at community events and they still stop to say thank you.

It’s not only about the funeral itself. It’s helping families find financial support for the funeral, the headstone and even the flowers. It’s guiding people through decisions they never expected to face. It’s standing alongside military families and offering quiet reassurance when words are not enough.

Every family matters.
Every story stays with us.

I want to acknowledge every family who has trusted us and allowed us to walk alongside them at such a difficult time. I am truly grateful that I get to help people every single day.

Thank you.
