As one of Royston Town Football Club's longest-standing sponsors, we were delighted to be invited to President Alan Barlow’s afternoon.

Funeral Manager, Andy McFadyen, and our very own Les Ames joined fellow sponsors to watch Royston Town take on Billericay Town FC.

Although the result wasn't in Royston’s favour, with a 3–0 defeat, it was still a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.

Thank you to everyone at Royston Town FC for the warm welcome! ⚽.

This week, we were delighted to welcome Tilly to our team for work experience.

With a keen interest in becoming an Embalmer, Tilly spent the week gaining valuable insight into the funeral profession, learning about the role of a Funeral Director and the care and dedication involved in supporting families.

Andy McFadyen, Funeral Manager, said: "It was a pleasure to have Tilly as part of the team this week. She showed a genuine interest in every aspect of the profession."

Tilly thoroughly enjoyed her experience and gained a valuable understanding of the profession. As a thoughtful thank you, she presented us with this beautiful framed drawing of our premises, which we will proudly display and treasure.

We would like to thank Tilly for all her enthusiasm and wish her every success in whichever career path she chooses. We have no doubt she has a bright future ahead, and we hope to welcome her back again in the future.

We are proud to introduce our brand new fleet of Volvo hybrid vehicles.

Whilst we pride ourselves on our high standards and exceptional level of client care, we are always looking for ways to enhance the service we provide to the families and communities we serve.

This new fleet represents exactly that. It reflects our commitment to providing families with the highest levels of comfort, care and dignity during what can be one of life's most emotional days.

By choosing hybrid technology, we are also reducing our environmental impact and taking a step towards a more sustainable future. Caring for our community means not only supporting families today, but also doing our part to protect the environment for generations to come.

The Goodbye You Can't Get Back

You may have seen in the news this week that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) banned a television advert by national provider Pure Cremation after ruling it was misleading. The advert suggested that an attended funeral service or ceremonial element was included in a Direct Cremation, when this was not the case.

This highlights something incredibly important: when making funeral arrangements, transparency matters and you need to be certain of what you are actually purchasing, especially when it comes to funerals. What is included, what is not included?

Whether you are considering a Direct Cremation or another funeral option, speak to us, your local independent funeral director.

Choosing local means knowing exactly where your relative will be cared for, having the opportunity to speak with local people face-to-face and being able to explore all the options available to you, rather than speaking to a voice in a call centre. Most importantly, it removes confusion, gives you the time and space to make informed decisions and takes away the pressure of a telephone sales conversation.

Some decisions can't be undone. This is one of them. Talk to us first..
We are here to answer your questions and guide you so that you can make an informed choice. Please get in touch, we are available 24/7 to help:

The ASA said the ad misleadingly implied that the standard Pure Cremation package included an in-person funeral service, when this was not the case.
