Festival week is a wonderful reminder of how strong the East Preston community really is.

But supporting the village isn’t something that only happens for one week a year.

At Dean Jones Funeral Service, we’re proud to support local organisations, community events and village life throughout the year - quietly helping where we can behind the scenes.

Because being part of the community means showing up consistently.

ITS COMING!!

There’s something special about East Preston Festival week. 🎉

It’s the time of year when the whole village comes together - friends catching up, families enjoying the events, local businesses joining in, and the community spirit that makes East Preston what it is shining through everywhere you look.

This year, we’re proud to once again be supporting the Festival by sponsoring some of the events taking place across the week, and we’ll also be decorating our window to join in the celebrations alongside the other wonderful local businesses in the village.

From live entertainment and family activities to community events, open gardens, music, markets and much more, there really is something for everyone to enjoy.

The Festival has always been about supporting village life and bringing people together, and we’re proud to play a small part in that. 💙

We look forward to seeing the village buzzing throughout Festival week! 🌿

Did you know families can personalise funerals in far more ways than people often realise?

Some recent personal touches families have chosen include:

• A final route past a meaningful place
• A horsedrawn Carrige
• Memory tables filled with photographs
• Dress codes reflecting someone’s personality
• Eco-friendly options
• Motorcycle, classic car, or vintage vehicle processions

A funeral doesn’t have to feel traditional if that’s not who the person was.

We believe every farewell should feel authentic, meaningful, and personal to the life being remembered.
