This week (2nd-8th December) marks National Grief Awareness Week, a time when we acknowledge the many faces of loss and open up the conversations around grief.

At Jayne Prior Funeral Directors, we recognise that grief doesn’t follow a timetable. It reaches us when it does. We stand with you, whether you’re recently bereaved or you’re supporting someone who is.

If you or a loved one need someone to talk to, we are here. Throughout this week, we encourage you to reach out, share your story, or simply sit with your feelings. You are not alone.
