There is no correct timeline for grief.

The idea that you should be "over it" by a certain point is one of the most unhelpful myths about bereavement.

Grief doesn't follow a schedule.
It comes in waves, sometimes predictable, sometimes not.

Anniversaries, birthdays, seasons, even ordinary Tuesday afternoons can bring it back.

What you're experiencing is grief doing exactly what grief does.

If it's affecting your daily life or you're struggling to cope, please speak to your GP or contact Cruse Bereavement Support on 0808 808 1677.

You don't have to manage this alone, we are here for you šŸ¤

In a world of quick online fixes, the emotional cost can be overlooked.

Following Ed’s story yesterday, here are the most important details that he found following his Mum’s direct cremation.

No one tells you how it might feel afterwards, when there’s no moment to say goodbye to them.

A very personal and powerful experience following the passing of Ed’s mum who had already arranged a direct cremation with a large company.

The impact of not having the chance to organise his mum’s funeral and the chance to personalise her farewell, highlights how important these things are to those left behind.

Understanding matters, speak to a SAIF local funeral director, we are here for you šŸ¤

Bank holiday weekends can feel very different depending on where you are in life.

For some, it's barbecues and long evenings.
For others, it's another weekend to get through without someone who should be here.

Whatever this weekend holds for you we're not going anywhere.

All our branches remain contactable throughout the bank holiday.

Please don't hesitate to call us 0138477098

Richard’s story….

No one tells you how it might feel afterwards, when there’s no moment to say goodbye to them.

Understanding matters, speak to a SAIF local funeral director like Richard and Dorothee didšŸ¤

19/05/2026

This is Richard’s story around the passing of his father and his father’s choice of a direct cremation. What followed highlights what an independent funeral director can do to make all the difference.

In a world of quick online fixes, the emotional cost can be overlooked.

The reality? 51% of people who chose an unattended cremation felt disappointed they couldn't fully pay their respects and 45% found the
lack of a service sparked family disagreements.

You deserve a human touch, a local face and a team that handles everything with care šŸ¤

We are proud to be a member of SAIF.
