We’re here when you need us most.

✨ Supporting You Through the Festive Season ✨

For many, this time of year brings joy, celebration, and togetherness. But for those grieving the loss of someone dear, the festive season can feel heavy, overwhelming, or even isolating.

At Arlington Funeral Services, we want you to know that whatever you’re feeling is valid. Grief doesn’t follow a calendar, and it’s okay to move through this season in the way that feels right for you.

Here are a few gentle suggestions that may bring comfort:

🕯️ Create a quiet moment of remembrance — light a candle, display a photo, or share a favourite story.
💬 Talk about your loved one — speaking their name can keep their memory close.
🌿 Set boundaries — it’s okay to step back from events or traditions that feel too difficult.
❤️ Lean on those around you — reach out to someone you trust, even just to sit in silence.
🌟 Start a new tradition — honour your loved one in a way that feels meaningful to you.

Most importantly, please remember that you are not alone. If you need someone to talk to during this season, our compassionate team is here to listen and support you.

Wishing you moments of peace, comfort, and gentle healing.

🌿 World Kindness Day – November 13th 🌿

Today, on World Kindness Day, we’re reminded of the power of even the smallest gestures.

A kind word, a thoughtful action, or simply taking a moment to listen can make a world of difference to someone who is struggling.

At Arlington Funeral Services, kindness is at the heart of everything we do — supporting families through difficult times with care, respect, and compassion.

Today, we encourage everyone to take a moment to share kindness in their own way — whether it’s checking in on a neighbour, sending a message of support, or offering a smile to a stranger.

In a world that can feel heavy at times, kindness costs nothing but means everything. 💛

🌿 Every Life Deserves a Personal Goodbye 🌿

At Arlington Funerals, we believe that no two lives are the same — and neither should any two funerals be. We don’t offer “off-the-shelf” services like some of the national chains; instead, we create meaningful, personal farewells that truly reflect the individual.

Whether it’s a favourite song, a special route for the final journey, or a unique choice of transport — from traditional hearses to something a little different — we’re here to help you honour your loved one in the way that feels right for you.

Every detail matters, and we take the time to listen, understand, and create something beautiful and memorable. 💜

📍 Based here in Smallthorne, we’re proud to serve our local community with compassion, care and respect.

If you’d like to talk about planning a personal farewell, we’re always here for you — day or night.
