Father’s Day is a day of celebration, honouring the father of the family. Our love for them will always be there and never be taken for granted.

It’s also important that we remember how difficult today will be for all those who have sadly said goodbye to their dads, for dads who have sadly lost a child and for those mums who today will be strong for their children.

As we celebrate this special day, we do so with love, happiness and treasured memories 🩶

In loving memory 💙

Ruth has been busy keeping Spondon looking beautiful by bringing back the seasonal hanging baskets! 🩶💐

Our beautiful Allestree branch has been open for 3 years today. It has been an honour and a privilege to take of care families in the local community and surrounding areas 🩶

In loving memory 🩶

Be kind to your mind, don’t suffer alone. It helps to talk 💚

What a difference the sunshine makes 🩶☀️

We thought we’d put faces to names; meet Joanna & Sean. Joanna will the first person you speak to when booking our Land Rover Defender 130 hearse while Sean will be the person you see on the day of the service. We are here to support you with the arrangements and answer any questions you may have.

Just over a week ago we opened the doors to our brand new purpose built Chaddesden branch, John Simnett House.

We thank everyone who has been apart of the build and are unbelievably proud of the end finish.

Thank you all who came to support our open day, the cards, gifts and presence was so much appreciated.

Here are some photos taken on the day, the public had the opportunity to view front of house and behind the scenes. 🎩 🙏🏻

Our love for them will always be there and never be taken for granted.
