We were recently entrusted with celebrating the life of Dawn, with a colourful and uplifting ceremony at Cromer Crematorium

Her family chose for her a soft pink coffin which was engraved with a sunflower, and service sheets featuring sunflowers on the cover and throughout.

The service was beautifully created by Fi from Oh So Civil Ceremonies, and stunning flowers were from Flower Moments UK Ltd

Thank you to the Porter family for entrusting us with Dawn’s care 🩶

It’s dying matters awareness week

If we talked about death and dying more…

🩶 it wouldn’t feel like something that exists only when it happens to you

🩶 we’d be more prepared for the moment when everything changes

🩶 we’d know what to say when someone is grieving

🩶 fewer people would feel like they have to go through it alone

🩶 we wouldn’t avoid the conversation just because it feels uncomfortable

🩶 we’d understand that grief doesn’t just end after the funeral

🩶 we’d give people more space to not be ok

Unfortunately, most people don’t know or understand these issues, and the bereaved and grieving are left to figure it out alone. And that is what needs to change. It is time to have real conversations before and after loss.

If you’re feeling this way, please know that you’re not alone in this.

If you need any help or resources, please have a look at the Dying Matters page below

A hugely important message from our friends at Cromer Crematorium and in partnership with SAIF.

We are you, and you are us. Real hugs and real goodbyes. Funeral services individually created and tailored to your specific needs.

Whether that is a cremation without a service, or a small intimate gathering at our own premises, or the full traditional funeral. Those choices are yours to make, and it is important that you know of all the options available to you.

That level of care is something we’ve been doing for this community since 1850, and will continue to do for generations to come

Monday saw the sun come out, as we were joined by the stunning Xantos and Jack from our friends at Pegasus Horse Drawn Carriages to honour the life of Mrs B.

Our journey took us through the village to the Baptist Church for her funeral service, and then on to Cromer Crematorium.

Thank you to the family for letting us share these images

It feels like spring has sprung!

We’ve had a busy day outside in the good weather, with Ian leading a service at Cromer Crematorium this morning, and myself at St Faiths this afternoon.

It was great to see my old pal Jon Goodrum in his role as a funeral celebrant, and I look forward to working with him again soon!

After a very busy January, we’ve finally been able to invite Nelsons Journey over to our North Walsham office to receive the donations collected at our Carols and Candles services from December.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and made the event such a success!

Something a little light hearted for a Monday morning!
