We understand that Mother’s Day can be a difficult day for many people.

Every year we have our Mother’s Day board available to allow those that would like to, to leave a message on the board and leave a tulip in our remembrance garden for your loved one.

The Mother’s Day board will be available at the side of our chapel from Friday 13th March until Monday 15th March.

In addition to our Mother’s Day board we also have our letters to heaven available in our book of remembrance room that can be posted in the post box that you will find in our garden of remembrance (this is available all year).

Beautiful 🖤

I had an interesting conversation recently with a very experienced funeral director.

He was talking about something he noticed years ago, early in his career. Not through criticism, just observation.

Outside the church, during services, things could become a little informal. Quiet chats. Familiar routines. Nothing disrespectful. Just human nature creeping in.

What stood out to him was not what was being said, but what was missing. Absolute attention. Stillness. Presence.

So he set a simple rule for his team.

Anyone attending the service, bearers included, would stand in silence. No talking. No movement. Just respect.

Sometimes for five minutes. Sometimes for fifteen.

To make it easier, he told them not to stare into each other’s eyes, but to focus on each other’s ties. A small detail, but a thoughtful one.

He said it changed everything.

Not for the staff.

For the families.

It reminded me that in this profession, it is often the smallest details that speak the loudest ~Lee

Today on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the many talented, dedicated and compassionate women working across the funeral profession.

Through SAIF Women in Business, our members have created a space for connection, support and shared experience, helping to champion women across the independent funeral sector.

Thank you to Jo Parker and Helen Wathall for establishing the group and helping it grow into such a valuable part of the SAIF community.

Today we recognise the contribution of women throughout our profession and the important role they play in supporting families every day. 💐
