After The Funeral

Grief affects people in different ways, and there are no rules as to how long each stage of grief should last, as each person’s experience is unique to them.

It’s quite natural to feel sadness in the days, weeks and months after the funeral. But you may also find that it is possible to smile and even laugh, and that’s perfectly fine too.

It is important to seek and accept help, whether that be from family and friends, or from a professional grief counsellor.

After a cremation, you may wish to choose a beautiful urn to display the ashes, or to allow you to scatter them.

You may also wish to create a lasting memorial, such as placing the ashes carefully into a piece of jewellery or a keepsake.

We can recommend a number of suppliers who can help you create a special memento of your loved one.

When you are ready, you may like to mark the place where your loved one is buried with a headstone or grave marker.

A headstone can be made in a whole range of materials, shapes, and sizes, but cemeteries and churchyards do have specific rules regarding the material, design, size, and wording of memorials they allow.

We can recommend a local and trusted memorial mason to you.
