Currently we have a number of friends who are living at different stages of dementia. So sad to see đź’”but I hope that like us, they know that we have not forgotten who they really are underneath the confusion and the affect of this horrid disease. Despite what you see, hear and experience, the person is still there as the essence of them . This poem sums up how I feel about my much loves friends and relative today.
And as a Celebrant if I support those who have lost family and friends through dementia I have and will always help them to acknowledge that dementia was part of a persons life journey but never defined them as a whole person who has made a mark on our world đź’ś

Why does a funeral director sometimes wear white gloves instead of black?

It’s a small detail, but one that carries a special meaning.

Traditionally, funeral directors wear black gloves as part of their formal attire. But at the funeral of a baby, you may notice something different.

White gloves.

It’s a tradition we’ve observed at Roy Preddy for many years. White has long been associated with innocence and purity, and wearing white gloves is a simple, symbolic way of acknowledging a precious little life.

It’s a gesture that may go unnoticed by many, but its meaning is no less important.

As Baby Loss Awareness Week begins today, we’re reminded that not every life is measured in years. Some are measured in weeks, days or even moments. But however brief that life may have been, the love felt for that child, and the grief experienced by those left behind, is immeasurable.

For the families who have experienced the loss of a baby, we remember your little ones with you.

Every life matters, no matter how brief. 🤍

Hymns are common within religious funerals - but what about if your person wasn't a member of a faith tradition? Can you still have congregational singing?

Absolutely you can. And with hints and tips from Poppy's and The London Funeral Singers, you can help guests feel comfortable getting involved.

To read our list of songs to sing a funeral (that aren't hymns), visit the link in the comments below. 👇
