Family Funeral Service Bearsted

25/03/2026

The Company has helped a family to arrange the most unusual funeral service. A family called to ask about arranging a funeral, and after some discussion, it was agreed that the "traditional funeral service" was completely wrong. Likewise an awful non funeral "direct cremation" was equally wrong. What could we do for this really very lovely family. It involved a field, and straw bales! I'll post the full description as no names will be mentioned and it was not in the last six months. But it was amazing! If there appears to be some interest in finding out what we did. My very nest wishes for you to avoid the snow we had here today! Michael MD The Family Funeral Service.

This is Eddie, he dragged Gary along to the Memory Walk just last week. Someone had to drive him there. Great job Eddie and a great cause to get behind. Oh and well done for getting him there and back Gary. 😂😂

This is Eric. One of our long stalwart member of staff. He is really good on his directions too. And if you are the Funeral Director he is pretty handy (the only time I would ever describe him as pretty!) with the directions and getting you where you want to be, when you want to be there. Thank you Eric. So he used to play with these things in another life. Apparently it was all rather exciting and sometimes even dangerous. Which made it all the more interesting! Still, as you can see here, anything this big and painted red, is a huge attraction for him!!! 😂😂😂 Seriously a great member of the team. Thank you Eric for everything over quite a few years now.

And finally. It wouldn’t be complete without Karan climbing up into the cab to direct the funeral. She did page part of the way to the house and away from the house, but she was worried about getting up and down from the cab and making a decent job of it! It’s a long way for her little legs.

It is a huge thing. And everything still works even though this one has retired from the service and now spends its days carrying firemen to their last shout. It was fantastic to see so many firemen turn out to honour this guy. Very well done you boys.

This is where the chap laid at rest. I think he would have loved it. Safe and secure on a fire engine.

And then, just like the buses, another one arrived and later another. But I wasn’t quick enough to get all the together.

We were very good and sent Karan up there to fix that one in place. We would have caught her. Possibly.

What a day! Hot sunshine. Blue blue sky. And the amazing funeral of a chap who frequently put his life in danger, but loved his years saving our lives and property with the Kent Fire Brigade. You’d know if this thing was in your rear mirror I think. And wait there was another, and then another! More pictures and some explanations to follow. All with the kind permission of a very proud and loving family. Thank you.

This is just a reminder to all clients. Travelling here for a fairly long arrangement Interview can use a few miles from your electric car range. So, while you are completing your arrangements you are free to recharge some of those miles on our dedicated EV charging point. And the best bit is it’s free to use. This is one of the company vehicles regarding. It could just as easily be yours. Just tell Karan and she will switch it on as we don’t leave it on overnight or at weekends.
