Applies to all businesses. Following the ‘trend’ will mean less choice when you need it. And the business that actually cares in providing a service won’t be here.

🍻 PREDATORY PRICING 📉

An age-old tactic.

When huge chains use their buying power to sell products at prices that independent businesses simply can't match, customers naturally follow the bargain.

One by one, local independent businesses disappear.

Then what's left?
The same chains.
The same offers.
The same pubs.

The prices go back up, and the customer no longer has a choice.

Hornsea is incredibly lucky to have a fantastic range of unique independent businesses. They give our town its character, create local jobs and keep our high street alive.

❤️ Support them while you still can. Because once they're gone, what's left is an empty, soulless high street.

Last week, we had the privilege of supporting several wonderful families as they gathered to celebrate the lives of their loved ones.

Each service was unique, filled with heartfelt memories, love, laughter, and quiet moments of reflection. It is always an honour to help families create meaningful farewells that truly reflect the lives and personalities of those they cherish.

A beautiful funeral conducted last week for a lovely family, saying goodbye to their loved one who was a quiet, kind man and a big Leeds fan! Tributes like this are wonderful showing the persons loves in life and a little of their personality on display at the service. With thanks to Leonora Rose for the beautiful floral tributes. And to Alison Turnbull Funeral Celebrant for a caring and meaningful funeral service.

We say it over and over but whatever funeral you require you’re best to ask questions and talk face to face with a local funeral director to you.
Most of us aren’t scary! 😃
And if they are a professional, respected company they’ll be more than happy to chat and answer your questions. I know we are!

You don’t need to take our word for it, the advertising standards agency say that the services being provided by some direct cremation companies are not as they would lead you to believe.

If you want to be sure of what you’re getting then you can call us on 0116 2712340 or speak to your local independent funeral director.

Our focus is always to support the informed choice of individuals and their families.
