More families are starting to talk about funeral wishes earlier. Not in a formal way, just small, quiet conversations about what they would or wouldn't want.

Those conversations can make a real difference later on, and funeral directors are often the people best placed to help families take that next step.

We work with funeral directors to support that, by making it easier to introduce funeral plans in a way that feels natural and helpful to families.

As an appointed representative of Westerleigh Funeral Plans, you can offer a straightforward way for families to plan ahead. And with a guaranteed cremation at any Westerleigh site, they can be reassured that everything is taken care of, with a service close to home.

If you’d like to see how it could work for you, we’re here to talk.

That’s a wrap! What an incredible few days at the National Funeral Exhibition.

It’s been a privilege to meet so many people from across the profession, share conversations and showcase the work happening across Westerleigh Group.

Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, took the time to speak with the team and participated in our survey. If you completed the survey on Friday or Saturday, keep your eyes peeled for the winner announcements on Monday.

We’re leaving the event feeling inspired, energised (and a little tired at the same time) and grateful to be part of such a dedicated and compassionate sector.

Day two at the National Funeral Exhibition has brought another fantastic mix of conversations, connections and ideas.

There’s been a real sense of openness throughout the event, from discussing how the sector is evolving to exploring how we continue to improve the experiences we provide for families and communities.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to stop by our stand so far. If you haven’t visited yet, we’re here for one more day.

Round up of Day 1 at the NFE…

We saw lots of visitors to our stand yesterday and had some really valuable conversations about our sector. It’s been great to hear different perspectives and share more about the work happening across Westerleigh Group.

One of the highlights so far has been welcoming people into our survey space and hearing direct feedback from colleagues across the industry.

We are pleased to announce that the NFE Day 1 winner of the £500 donation to a charity of their choice is Phillip Tom and Sons who have chosen Maggie's Centres in Cardiff.

If you’re visiting NFE today, don’t miss our speaker session on ‘Westerleigh Group’s research into people’s preferences for funerals’, taking place from 11:30am – 12pm in the lecture theatre in Hall 1.

Looking forward to connecting with many more visitors today. Find us in Hall 1, Stand 122.

In our latest episode of Before You Go, our bereavement podcast, we sit down with Kirsty Simmonds, National Sector Lead at Connect2FuneralServices (Connect2Care) to explore how training and apprenticeships are shaping the future of funeral care.

Kirsty shares her journey into the bereavement sector and challenges some of the common misconceptions around apprenticeships. We also discuss how structured professional development is helping funeral businesses build teams that are not only skilled, but confident and compassionate in supporting families at their most difficult moments.

This is a thoughtful and honest conversation about people, purpose, and what it really means to prepare the next generation of funeral professionals.

We were delighted to welcome funeral professionals from across Scotland to East Lothian Crematorium & Memorial Gardens on Saturday for the NAFD Scotland Education Day.

The event brought together colleagues from across the funeral profession to share knowledge, explore developments within the industry and discuss the future of funeral and bereavement services.

We are always pleased to support our industry colleagues by hosting events that bring people together, and it was fantastic to see so many attendees engaging with the programme and contributing to meaningful conversations throughout the day.

Thank you to the National Association of Funeral Directors, the speakers and everyone who attended for making the day such a success.
