We know the loss of a loved one affects everyone differently.
Sometimes it can be easier to talk to someone outside of your friends and family about the impact of bereavement on your life.
The team at Mencap have put together a helpful, easy-read guide to support someone with a learning disability in using GriefChat counselling services . If you have a learning disability, or if you’re part of an organisation that enables employees or clients with learning disabilities to use GriefChat, this guide may help you. You can also contact GriefChat via our website.

If a loved one has recently passed away or you've got treasured clothes that you don't want to throw away, a keepsake bear from Love Keep Create - The Clothing Keepsake Company is a lovely solution. It's a particularly special item to remember grandparents or parents, and can be cherished by adults and children alike.

The rugged Triumph Scrambler 1200 hearse is the perfect tribute for those who lived with a sense of taking things off the beaten track.
It's an addition to the Motorcycle Funerals Limited fleet and as MD Marian Sinclair says: “Many of the families we serve appreciate the attention to detail and the careful choice of motorcycles to reflect a loved ones life.”

We’re pleased to share that we’re a recommended funeral director with The Natural Death Centre Charity. This reflects our commitment to openness, flexibility, and truly personal support for every family. Here’s what that promise looks like in practice.
We have agreed to the following criteria:
✔️To be flexible with the public and provide the service they request.
✔️To state clearly what our services entail, including a clear breakdown of costs for each part.
✔️To provide a very basic disposal service if requested.
✔️To provide information regarding all disposal options to all clients.
✔️To assist families who only want a part service, and not to make this difficult by offering 'packages only'.
✔️To inform customers that they can send feedback about the services provided to The Natural Death Centre.
✔️To explain that embalming is optional - and also explain what embalming entails.
✔️To inform families that they may like to help with some aspects such as washing and dressing the person who has died, or carrying the coffin.
✔️To state clearly if they are a member of a larger 'group'.
✔️To inform families whether the person who has died is being kept at another facility.
✔️To provide families with options for other types of celebrant beyond simply a minister or a humanist.
✔️To meet and make arrangements at the family home at no extra charge.
