Please take a moment to watch this short video that shares a families personal experience of a well-known online direct cremation provider.

Mr Trickers father had a plan arranged with the online cremation provider, after speaking with the plan provider they realised there were unanswered questions, and they wouldn't be able to pay their final respects to their loved one.

Fortunately, the family spoke to a local independent funeral director, who spoke to them with respect and care. They then realised the plan could be cancelled. By cancelling the plan the family were able to have a say in the arrangements for an unattended cremation, they were able to say goodbye to their father, and they were cared for by a local experienced funeral director who saw them as people, not figures.

As the Trickers family found out, by speaking with a local SAIF independent funeral directors you will be cared for with a personal, local service, who will care for you and your loved one with respect. Your loved one will not leave the area for the cremation. You get flexibility and options when planning a cremation, regardless of whether it is an unattended or attended cremation. And you will often find this personal local service is cheaper than the online providers.

National Funeral Planning Awareness Week: A Conversation That Matters

This week is all about National Funeral Planning Awareness Week, an opportunity to help families make informed decisions during a difficult time.

Funeral planning isn’t just about the end of life; it’s about peace of mind for both you and your loved ones. By planning ahead, you help ensure that your wishes are honoured, and your family is supported.

Here’s why funeral planning is so important:
✔️ Reduces stress for your family
✔️ Ensures your personal wishes are recorded
✔️ Helps prevent financial surprises
✔️ Offers comfort and peace of mind

At Dafforn and Son we’re here to help guide you through every step of the process, with compassion and care. If you have any questions or want to learn more, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Our Christmas Memorial Page has just opened for this year.
We hope that you will find the page a comfort, as you light a virtual candle in memory of a loved one.

There is also a voluntary collection for the work of Families in Grief, who do amazing work supporting bereaved children, young people and families, here in North Devon.

We invite you to light a candle in memory of someone you love. Each flame honours a life that touched ours and reminds us that their light continues to shine in our hearts. We hope you this act of remembrance will bring comfort and peace. Roger, Chris & the Team at RPB Funerals
