Writing a Will – Is easier than you might think.

Many people put off writing a will, thinking it is complicated or expensive — but it is actually much simpler than you might expect.

Having a will in place gives you peace of mind, knowing your wishes will be carried out and your loved ones are cared for.

🖋️ Here’s how easy it can be:
1️⃣ Download a trusted will template online.
2️⃣ Fill it out with your wishes.
3️⃣ Have it signed and witnessed correctly.
4️⃣ Store it somewhere safe — and let someone you trust know where it is.

You do not have to go through a solicitor (though it is always an option if you would like extra reassurance).
The most important thing is simply to start. Planning today brings comfort tomorrow.
If you would like to seek professional advice, we can pass on details of our recommended solicitors in Uckfield, Lewes, and the surrounding areas — trusted local experts who can help you make sure everything is in place.

At Richard Green Funeral Service, we believe planning ahead is an act of love — and writing your will is one of the kindest gifts you can give your family.

This year, the World Stroke Campaign will leverage the concept of time to raise awareness about the importance of recognizing the signs of stroke and acting fast. From the moment someone has a stroke, time is of the essence. That first hour — often called the “golden hour” — is critical. With each minute that passes without treatment, more brain cells are lost. The faster the signs of stroke are recognized and the alert is raised, the sooner someone can get the treatment and care they need – increasing their chance of survival and a near or full recovery.

🌿 Today is World Mental Health Day 🌿

Grief and mental health are deeply connected, and it’s important to remind ourselves that it’s okay not to feel okay.

Losing someone you love can affect every part of your wellbeing — emotionally, physically, and mentally. If you’re finding the weight of grief difficult to carry, please know that you are not alone.

Reach out to a friend, family member, or a professional who can listen and support you. Taking that first step to talk can make a world of difference.

💚 Today, let’s be gentle with ourselves, check in on those we care about, and remember that support is always available.

We’re proud to support from 6-12 October, showing all the ways hospices do . They deliver care on the wards and in the community, keep people out of hospital who do not need to be there, and care for people in the place they love most: their own home. And with the right support, they could do even more. That’s why we’re celebrating all the things that hospices do to make people’s lives better, to help raise awareness that these services should be properly funded.
