Last evening we attended the Devon Area NAFD Meeting at Lawrence Castle, Haldon with Karen as Devon Area President, George as treasurer and Julian marking his first commitment as National President.

It was great to hear industry updates and talk with like-minded individuals to network and learn from across our profession.

On Sunday, as a family and a business, we were deeply honoured that Julian was officially installed as National President of the National Association of Funeral Directors, our distinguished trade organisation that has been the pillar of our industry for decades.

This exceptional achievement is a testament to Julian's unwavering dedication, commitment and passion for our profession and we take great pride in his accomplishment.

Julian has been entrusted with the responsibility of promoting, supporting and instilling confidence in our industry and profession not just across the United Kingdom, but also around the world for the next year.

The role of National President demands vision, leadership, and a profound understanding of the complexities of our profession and we look forward to seeing the positive impact he will have on our industry as a whole throughout his year in office.

✔️To state clearly what our services entail, including a clear breakdown of costs for each part.
✔️To provide a very basic disposal service if requested.
✔️To provide information regarding all disposal options to all clients.

✔️To inform customers that they can send feedback about the services provided to The Natural Death Centre.
✔️To explain that embalming is optional - and also explain what embalming entails.
✔️To inform families that they may like to help with some aspects such as washing and dressing the person who has died, or carrying the coffin.
✔️To state clearly if they are a member of a larger 'group'.
✔️To inform families whether the person who has died is being kept at another facility.
