During an early morning visit to Lichfield and District Crematorium, I paused for a moment to reflect on the day ahead and take a few photos. As I stepped out of the car, a rustle in the bushes caught my attention, and out popped a lovely little squirrel 🐿️. Watching it busily go about its morning routine brought a genuine smile to my face.

Hi everyone,

Another week has flown by! It’s been a particularly busy time at the funeral home, but I'm thankful to say that every service went smoothly and safely as we honored the lives of those entrusted to us.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the families who choose our services and put their trust in us during such difficult times. Without your support, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do.
A huge thank you as well to my incredible team your dedication, care, and commitment are truly second to none.

Recent news from Hull has understandably raised concerns about the care and standards families should expect from a funeral director. We ourselves are shocked and saddened that this has happened to these families.

At Measham Family Funeral Service we are proud to be a National Society of Allied & Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) member and part of a community of independent funeral directors committed to professional and compassionate care.

We are regularly inspected and voluntarily regulated under the UK Funeral Director Code. Families also have access to an independent complaints process through SAIF, delivered by an externally audited and Chartered Trading Standards Institute-certified body.

We hope these safeguards offer added reassurance that families and their loved ones will be treated with care, dignity and respect.

Have a safe and peaceful weekend, what ever your doing, for me this weekend I am on night duties, and suppose I should do some house hold chores!!!

Today, our thoughts are with the family of a precious baby girl as we prepare for a short service of farewell at Bretby Crematorium

Moments like this are a heartbreaking reminder of how delicate life is. We are deeply honored to support her family through this difficult journey, ensuring she is cared for with the utmost gentle love, dignity, and respect.

Little Snowdrop
The world may never notice
If a snowdrop doesn't bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.
But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.
The little one longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

Our thoughts are with you all.

This morning, Jenny and I accompanied a much loved lady to Lichfield and District Crematorium for her private cremation.
The drive along the country roads was filled with peaceful wildlife, and the gentle sound of birdsong greeted us as we arrived.
We sat in quiet reflection to honor her memory
Whilst Eva Cassidy played Fields of Gold

May she rest in eternal peace. Sending our deepest thoughts to all of her family and friends.

Today, Sally and the team were at Bretby Crematorium for a beautiful service honoring a very special, deeply loved lady. The sun shone down on a magnificent lily casket spray created by Ali at Berry Fields, and our celebrant shared some truly moving words.

Looking after Sharon and Andrew has been an absolute privilege. Through all the emotions, there was always a warm smile and a shared laugh between the tears.

Sharon is a wonderful person. She was joking about the unique, personalized services we’ve done in the past and teased Sally about wearing a bikini! That got my mind working so I hunted down a badge on Etsy featuring Mr. Benn in his bowler hat, black shoes, and a bikini. I promised Sharon I’d wear a bikini to the service, and I kept my word... even if it was technically Mr. Benn!!!!

My thoughts and heartfelt wishes are with Andrew, Sharon, and their family at this time. xx
