Today our Rebecca & Sam went to the RSPCA to drop off dog & cat food we have been collecting at the Funeral Home. Safe to say they were made up with our donation 😄

🎩 It struck me recently...
..just how much difference a well-turned-out support team makes to the whole experience on the day.

The bearers, drivers and everyone supporting the funeral may not say very much, but their presence is felt.

When a team looks smart, coordinated and attentive, it brings a real sense of care, order and reassurance.

And credit where it is due to the funeral directors who pay close attention to this. The way a team presents itself says a great deal about the standards behind the service 🎩
