Join us as we hear from Mr. Chris Adams, a seasoned funeral director with an impressive 40 years of experience in the industry.

We had great pleasure in talking with Chris Clark and Pauline Cooper  from Ecclesiastical Planning Services (EPS) to discuss the purpose,  possibilities and regulations surrounding Funeral Plans.  

Our advice is that Funeral Plans are not always necessary for individuals and that can be for a variety of reasons, however, there are occasions when great comfort and reassurance can be gained by carrying this service out.

We recently had the great pleasure in talking with CEO, Mr. Kevin Crute, of LifeArt Coffins about a wide range of environmental impacts within the Funeral industry, mainly the environmentally friendly coffins which LifeArt (and other manufacturers) are trying to raise awareness of.

The environment could become more of a global crisis than Covid-19 and we all have a responsibility to do what we can now for future generations.

In this episode, The Revd.  Prebendary Simon Cawdell discusses the role of a Vicar when carrying out funerals, how the Church have evolved through the Pandemic and how they adapt to a modern society. We also talk about non-religious funerals through to not having a funeral service at all.  We found this video quite moving in some areas with some tough areas discussed. We hope you find it interesting.

Back in 2020, we had the great privilege of chatting with Mr. Jon Levett, the CEO at the time, of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) at National level about the role of the NAFD in particular, and the future of the industry.

In this episode where we talk to Jen Brown about the positives of Bereavement Counseling. We hope you will find it interesting.
