Why do you still march old man, with your medals on your chest?
Why do you still grieve old man, for those you laid to rest?
Why do your eyes gleam old man, when you hear those bugles blow?
Tell me why you cry old man, about those days so long ago?!

I'll tell you why I march young man, with medals in on chest.
I'll tell you why I grieve young man, for those I laid to rest.
Through misty fields of gossamer silk come visions of distant times.
When boys of tender age lost lives, and all their mothers pine.
We buried them in a blanket shroud, their young flesh, scorched and blackened.
A communal grave, newly gouged, in bloodstained gorse and bracken, and you ask me why I march young man, I MARCH TO REMIND YOU ALL.
THAT BUT FOR THESE APPLE BLOSSOM YOUTHS,YOU'D NEVER KNOWN FREEDOM AT ALL.

Wear your poppy with pride.

A young farmer friend of ours arrived at the office a few days ago with a challenge, to see if we could help him clean his tractor.

We were more than happy to help!

Although, it was a little harder to reach in places compared to the average Hearse!

He left very happy, with a clean tractor, inside and out.🙂🎩

A little over a year ago, we opened our second office in Leiston.

Our mission is simple, to help local families and honour their loved ones with dignity, respect and personalised care.

Every life tells a story and it is a privilege to help others to hear this story in a meaningful way.

With very kind permission of the family.

With the change of the clocks going back, we conducted a funeral service at Seven Hills Crematorium.

The family had chosen a Cardboard coffin of which they had chosen to decorate.

This was a lovely and personal act to carry out, and a lovely way to say goodbye.🎩

Wow just wow! Yesterday the exhibition floor opened at the convention. Everyone knows I am partial to a stunning car…. Look at these absolute beauties! Big and fierce but beautiful…. Don’t tell our beloved Mercedes ‘Patsy’ but I was blown away! Sadly I think they may struggle around our little country lanes in Suffolk 🤣🤦‍♀️

Sooooo I am currently in Chicago at the National Funeral Directors Association’s International Convention. I have had an incredible day today touring a local Funeral Home and a stunning Cemetery and listening to various speakers at the convention. It’s going to be a jam packed week and extremely educational! It’s been super to chat to Funeral Directors from all over the world today and a very eye opening experience to understand just how different we all are in our traditions and customs.
