Yesterday marked five years with Memories 🤍
I have been in the funeral profession for ten years now, but the last five here have shaped me more than I expected.
When I arrived, I was a younger, perhaps more guarded version of myself. Working within a large corporate environment had taught me to protect myself, to be sharp, to lead from the front and never drop my guard. David and Helen saw past that. They trusted me. They backed me. And they allowed me the space to grow into the role and help push us forward.
For that, I am incredibly grateful 🙏
In these five years we have stood in countless chapels, churches and crematoria. We have supported families through the hardest days of their lives and carried an enormous responsibility with pride.
I know how fortunate I am to work with a team who care as deeply as they do. People who turn up every day with integrity, professionalism and heart. Yesterday I was genuinely overwhelmed by the gifts and the kind words from the team. It meant more than I can say.
Memories is not just where I work. It is something I am proud to help shape and protect 🖤
Thank you to David and Helen for their trust. Thank you to our team for their commitment. And thank you to the families who place their faith in us.
Here’s to continuing to raise the standard.
Simon
Funeral Director
