They’re still your child. Whether they were 5 or 55.

When someone loses a child, it can be difficult to know what to say or how to be there for them.

As Baby Loss Awareness Week comes to a close, Funeral Director Ross from Roy Preddy Funeral Directors shares some simple but important advice: listen, say their child’s name, and remember that their child is still their child, whatever their age.

We're thinking of everyone dealing with the devastating loss of a baby or child. If you're grieving and seeking support, here's a free guide to coping with the loss of a child: https://f.mtr.cool/j036l7eam9

What happens when you come in to talk about a memorial?

It’s something we don’t talk about often, but choosing a memorial can be an important part of remembering someone and creating a lasting place to reflect.

Here Peter from Trent Valley Crematorium explains what you can expect from a memorial appointment, from the options available to how we help you make a choice that feels right for you and your family.

Baby loss doesn’t mean their place in a family disappears.

For some parents, it’s the empty arms and the future they imagined. For others, it’s the dates that stay with them, the things they wish they could share, or simply wanting the world to remember their child, too.

There’s no right way to grieve, and no timeline for learning to live with loss.

This Baby Loss Awareness Week, we’re thinking of every family who has experienced the loss of a baby, at any stage of pregnancy or shortly after birth. Your baby matters. Your grief matters. And you never have to justify either. 💗💙

Calling a funeral director for the first time can feel daunting.

The good news is, you don’t need to have all the answers before you call.

You might already know whether you’d like a burial or cremation, or you may have no idea yet. You might have questions about the type of funeral, what happens next, costs, or what you need to do when someone's died.

Whatever you’re unsure about, your funeral director can talk you through the options, answer your questions and help you make decisions one step at a time.

She loves Harry Styles, getting her nails done…and driving the company hearse.

Meet Emily Fisher, our 20-year-old Apprentice Funeral Director at Gornalls Funeral Directors, Prescot & Rainford.

Emily discovered undertaking as a career at just 15, after coming across a funeral director on TikTok. Now, she’s learning the profession and working with families every day.

Dispatch recently spent time with Emily to find out more about her life as one of Britain’s Gen Z undertakers, and what drew her to a career that she’d never even considered before.

It’s a fascinating insight into Emily, her work and a profession that many people know very little about.

Over and out. 🚛

Rick loved driving, and especially his truck, so it was only fitting that he made his final journey in one.

From the moment his family began making the arrangements, it was clear that Rick’s love of trucks needed to be part of his farewell. His final journey on a truck was a fitting and very personal tribute to something he had loved throughout his life.

That personal touch continued throughout the day, with tributes celebrating some of the things Rick loved most, including a replica of the truck he used to drive for Hutchinsons and even his favourite carrot cake. His Order of Service also featured a truck theme, bringing his personality into the smallest details.

Thank you to Rick’s family for allowing us to share his send-off, and to our team at W. Bailey & Son Funeral Directors for conducting Rick’s funeral with such care and attention to detail.

Every detail matters.

From lining the coffin to those final touches, our funeral directors take care to make sure everything is prepared just as it should be.

Here’s James from our team at Layton Funeral Directors, Blackpool adding the lining, frill and veil to one of our basic coffins: just one of the jobs our operatives take care of every day.

Before Fiona Campbell joined funeral care, she was already supporting families in her community.

Fiona joined D Gunn Funeral Directors, Dingwall in March 2025, but her connection to supporting local families began three years earlier, volunteering at fun days for bereaved children.

Today, she combines her role as a Casual Funeral Service Operative with community and social media work in Dingwall. Ask Fiona what she enjoys most about her role and she'll tell you it's supporting families through what can be one of the most difficult times in their lives.

Outside of work, Fiona is a mum to two children, enjoys walking her dog, cycling and cheering on Ross County. She also shared one story that made us smile: despite being terrified of heights and planes, she once completed a parachute jump for two local children's charities close to her heart. Would she do it again? "No chance!"

When we asked Fiona what advice she'd give to someone who is grieving, she said:
"However you're feeling, it's okay. Grief looks different for everyone, and there is no timetable or right way to cope. Give yourself the time and space to grieve in your own way."
