End of COVID regulations
As you will be aware, all COVID regulations have now been removed in England, so there are no official limits to the number of mourners allowed at church or humanist services, crematoria, wakes or Nine Night events.
However, some venues are still imposing their own limits on numbers. We will always aim to let you know if your preferred venues are setting any specific restrictions but if you are in any doubt, do not hesitate to get in touch with us directly.
At Integrity Funeral Care, we understand that families have very strong feelings about the way their loved one is dressed for their burial or cremation. Communication is key, and it is very important to us that between us, we make sure we know precisely what your wishes are...
If you choose to have your loved one cremated, within a week or so after the event, their ashes will be passed by the crematorium to us as your funeral director. We will then get in touch with you to let you know that we have them, that they are safe, and to ask you what you would like to have done with them...
The COVID 19 lockdown was arguably the most significant shift in public behaviours over recent years and was put in place to safeguard the UK from the threat of what became a pandemic...
As we get older, we tend to look at how to leave everything in our lives in a state where it will be fairly straightforward for our loved ones to sort out, but one area often neglected is that of our pets. If we have a pet who might outlive us it’s really important to talk to our families about what will happen to them when we’re gone...
The Guardian newspaper ran a story around the chronic and worsening availability of burial space in Britain, particularly here in London, and they asked Paul for his thoughts on this emerging crisis..
Selecting a funeral director can be a confusing business. We only do it when we’re at our lowest and when we’re least inclined to do lengthy research to find the best option. Sometimes it’s tempting to go for a corporate, High Street chain. The name will be familiar, and it can feel like a really big business is most likely to do a good job. However, we think taking the independent route is best, and here are the reasons why...
Where once when people died they left behind paperwork and hopefully a will, today we all also have a digital footprint which can contain things of great value, material or sentimental. More and more people are losing precious memories locked away on a loved one’s social media profiles....
Often families want to honour the last request of their loved one by having their body or ashes taken back to the land of their birth. This can be a daunting prospect for many funeral directors who are not experienced in the process, and for families the stress and complexity of the regulations can seem overwhelming.
Most of us would probably say we’re not defined by the job we do, but by who we are as people. As a funeral director over the past few years I’ve come to realise that the two, for me, are indistinguishable. I’m a mum and a wife and a sister and a daughter, but the way I view these things is undoubtedly affected by the work I do...
Mother’s Day can be tough for people who’ve already lost theirs – a day to remember what they’re missing.
As a funeral director, I get to see people saying their goodbyes to all kinds of family and friends, but funerals for mothers are always a bit different...
