This Pride Month, we take time to recognise and reflect on the importance of being seen, accepted, and valued for who we are โ€” in life, in death, and in remembrance ๐ŸŒˆ

At Haycombe, we are committed to creating a space where everyone is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. Every life is unique, shaped by identity, relationships, and experiences, and every story deserves to be honoured in a way that truly reflects the individual.

This month, and every month, we stand for openness, understanding, and equality โ€” because everyone deserves to be remembered, respected, and celebrated for who they are. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’œ

We would like to gently remind you that the Spring Baby Remembrance Service will take place this Saturday, 13th June at 1:00pm, at Haycombe Cemetery๐ŸŒธ

This special service, held alongside the RUH Spiritual Care Team and Bath SANDS, is open to anyone affected by the loss of a baby. It offers a quiet and supportive space to remember, reflect, and honour much-loved little ones.

Refreshments will be served following the service at either the Hilltop Chapel or at the SANDS Garden in the cemetery depending on the weather.

There will also be an opportunity to plant small plants within the garden if you wish.

All are very warmly welcome ๐Ÿ’›

A beautiful little surprise spotted among the greenery at Haycombe Cemetery by Cemetery Senior Supervisor Phil ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’š

This colourful pheasant was quietly tucked away, almost perfectly hidden amongst the foliageโ€”natureโ€™s reminder that even in the most peaceful places, thereโ€™s always a little life quietly thriving.

Keep your eyes open on your next visitโ€ฆ you never know what you might discover ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Earlier this year, we were delighted to reintroduce our ever-popular Circle Gardens. Beautifully set within a peaceful landscape, they offer stunning views across the surrounding fields and countryside, creating a calm and comforting place for reflection.

Each Circle Garden features an elegant circular slate bed, thoughtfully designed to accommodate two sets of ashes. These private spaces provide a meaningful and personal setting to honour and remember your loved ones with dignity and care.

A limited number of Circle Garden plots are still available. To find out more or to reserve a space, please do not hesitate to enquire.

Weโ€™re often asked similar questions about cremation, so we wanted to gently clear up a few common myths and help break the taboo around asking.

๐— ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต ๐Ÿญ: ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ
They are. Your loved one remains in their coffin throughout, and everything is carried out with the utmost care, dignity and respect from start to finish.

๐— ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต ๐Ÿฎ: ๐—”๐˜€๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜…๐—ฒ๐—ฑ
We completely understand why this might be a worry. Please be reassured that every cremation takes place individually, following strict procedures, and the ashes you receive are only those of your loved one.

๐— ๐˜†๐˜๐—ต ๐Ÿฏ: ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ปโ€™๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป
You can if you wish to. We offer an attended option for direct cremation, giving families the opportunity for a small, quiet moment to say goodbye in a way that feels right for them.

If youโ€™ve ever felt unsure or didnโ€™t know how to ask these questions, youโ€™re not alone and weโ€™re always here to listen and help. ๐Ÿ’™

A peaceful moment captured at Haycombe Cemetery ๐Ÿ’š

One of our team recently spotted this beautiful jay perched among the headstones, its striking colours a gentle reminder of the wildlife that calls the cemetery home. Places of remembrance can also be places of quiet life and reflection ๐ŸŒฟ

Today is World Bee Day! ๐Ÿ

Designated by the United Nations, the global campaign raises awareness about the vital role of pollinators in our ecosystems and food systems. Haycombe is proud to provide a rich and supportive habitat for bees and other pollinators, helping to maintain local biodiversity.
We have two thriving beehives, and a trained apiarist among our team.

There is comfort in that gentle hum around us . Like bees supporting new growth through pollination, the memory of those we have lost continues to shape and sustain life around us.
