Hereford is not a regular Crematorium for us but it was a pleasure to be there today. No rain until we were on our way home! We will travel where our families want us to go so don't be afraid of asking.

The 24hrs after your loved one passes is the lull before the storm. It is a chance for you to gather your thoughts and prepare yourself for the next stage of arranging the funeral talking to friends and relatives and letting them know what has happened. So if you need to take a deep breath and prepare yourself.

The morning after someone dies in your home.

The neighbor doesn’t know yet.

The light still comes through the window the same way it always has.

The dust floats. Birds sing their thing. Coffee brews out of habit.

But everything is different.

This is the quietest morning you’ll ever experience because it's not quite peaceful, just hushed.

It feels like the world lowered its voice out of respect.

You’re aware of every sound, every creak, every breath you take without them.

There’s often guilt here.

For sleeping.

For laughing at a memory.

For noticing how beautiful the light is when someone you love is gone.

If this was your morning, you didn’t do it wrong.

This liminal space between presence and absence is part of grief.

It’s sacred, even when it feels unbearable.

Nothing needs to be rushed today.

You’re allowed to stand at the window a little longer.

If you need a little cheering up from this snow and ice, try to remember that Spring is just around the corner although it might not feel like it at the moment., but, the days are getting longer and the snowdrops and daffodils are waiting to bloom.

Can you remember grandma or grandpa talking to you about funerals? How they showed respect when someone passed away? Did you ask them why the drew the curtains when the hearse came into the street for a neighbour?
It was their way of honouring their friend, family member or neighbour, and, while there are no Laws in the UK with regard to the funeral procession itself, there are certain rules which you should try and follow.
If you witness a hearse leading a funeral procession whilst on the road, be considerate and respectful.

Try to:
Give way to the hearse and funeral cars
Don’t cut into a funeral procession
Avoid listening to loud music
Don’t beep your horn
Only overtake a procession on a dual carriageway

If you encounter a funeral procession whilst on foot, try not to cross the road in front of the hearse or funeral cars. You may also choose to stop and bow your head as the funeral procession passes; this is often seen as a nice gesture and sign of respect.
Be mindful of others people's grief.

As we come to the end of 2025 we wish you a Happy New Year.
Thank you for the support and friendship of the Team and also to our Industry Colleagues. We give special thanks to the families that, over the last year have asked us to support them and their Loved One's on their last journey. We know that the crossing into a New Year without your Loved One may be a little difficult for you, but,
as we always say, we're by your side every step of the way, and tonight , tomorrow and the next days we'll be thinking of you as you move forward in whatever way suits you.

Christmas is over and we’re ready to meet with a family around our table.
Our meeting room was recently likened to ‘being at home at the table’ and a comfortable place to talk about arrangements.
Should the occasion arise you are welcome at our table.

Seasons Greetings from us to you.

When we leave our building for a Funeral we always 'paige' from the building as a sign of respect for the deceased.
As we cross a busy road island it is becoming increasingly more worrying that few people want to slow down to let us do this. See todays car? it did not want to stop. Our deceased deserved the respect and we kept walking.
Todays destination was Wyre Forest Crematorium.

Just letting you know that we will be on the end of the phone all through the Christmas and New Year period. No agencies, no call centres, just us. A local friendly voice just when you need it.
