Today Colin has been at the National Funeral Exhibition down in Stoneleigh!

We always try to visit the Exhibition when it comes around every two years to see what's new in the industry and see if there is anything more we can offer families- and of course see what the latest developments are!
From all the different funeral vehicles available for hire to the huge variety of coffins, and ways to scatter loved ones ashes- the scope is massive, so we need to be sure we are always clued up on the latest things.

Colin is now on the road back to Scotland, and we have heard tell he even got himself measured up for a new suit! 🪡👔

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 ❤️ ☀️

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!
