We are delighted to have reached over 1,200 followers on our page 🥰

Thank you all so much for your kindness and support of our wee family business, it really does mean so much to us. When we created our page, we decided to make it a little different to the others out there.
First and foremost, of course, our main focus is to share the sad news on behalf of bereaved families. Facebook has become a very important resource, as less and less people get the daily newspaper.

However, we also think it's important to share some joy, news from our family, the nature around us and support the community.

Thank you all and we hope each and every one of you have the most wonderful weekend ❤️ ☀️

Introducing our brand new wheels! Last week we said goodbye to our first faithful Jaguar hearse, and said hello to the newest and smartest edition to our fleet! 😍

Our stunning new motor is a Jaguar XF Hearse, a model up from our last one, and is a beautiful deep grey colour. We do hope all of our families, followers and communities love it as much as we do!

Colin is still pinching himself that it really does belong to us! He has been caught a few times standing outside just staring at it in awe 😂

Let us know what you think in the comments, and of course- let us know what you think it's name should be!

A Happy Friday post! 🥰

Better days and lighter nights mean the dogs can spend more time outside manning the boundaries, helping with outdoor tasks and of course basking in the sun and sniffing the air for BBQs! ☀️

We snapped this picture last week of the two pals after they decided to swap beds 😂

Featuring Maple's new Ostritch, a new favourite work toy gifted to heart Christmas by her favourite treat lady- Mrs Taylor! 😅🐾
