🎃 Happy Halloween Weekend from all of us (and Poppy!) 🐾

Poppy’s been busy greeting visitors this week — she swears she’s not in costume, just naturally this cute! 👻🐶

As we head out of Halloween weekend, we hope it’s been filled with laughter, a few sweet treats, and time spent with the people (and pets!) who make life special.

Stay safe, have fun, and don’t forget to give your furry friends an extra treat! 🍬💛
— The team at Simpson & Wilde.

A symbol families can trust

We’re proud to display the Golden Charter seal as it stands for quality and trust in our
profession.

We’re proud to stand behind this mark of excellence.

At Simpson & Wilde, we know love lasts a lifetime (and sometimes a little beyond 💐).

We’re curious — what sweet or funny nicknames do you and your partner use for each other?

Share them below — we all had a smile today at this one. ❤️

Here at Simpson we have seen an increase in marketing activity from some national direct cremation providers.

Many people aren’t even aware that their local independent funeral director offers the same direct cremation services, let me assure you that this is something we have always offered.

What makes us different?
• Our team of qualified staff all live and work in our local community.
• Our team are here to guide and support you and your loved ones.
• Your loved one will be transferred into our care at the earliest opportunity, and they will remain in Hartshill with us until the cremation takes place.
• Our non-attended cremations are carried out here in Newcastle-Under-Lyme within days of the paperwork being completed and the ashes returned in the following days.
• We can arrange for your loved one to be dressed in their own clothing and you can visit them in our chapel of rest.

How much does it cost?
A local dignified direct cremation arranged by our team here at Simpson & Wilde costs only £1050.00.

If you’d like to plan for the future, we can also arrange a direct cremation Golden Charter funeral plan which would cost £1390.00.

If you are considering a non-attended or direct cremation for a loved one’s funeral, or for making your own funeral arrangements in advance with a pre-paid funeral plan, then please do speak with us on 01782 616034 or visit www.simpsonwilde.co.uk for further information.
