Taking a break folks! Back on 15th July.

03/07/2024

Thank you Hoskins Funerals Worcester for raising awareness of this issue. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their child, whether young or old.

Today is National Bereaved Parents Day and we need your help! 💜

We need to spread the word as far as we can to show bereaved families that they are not alone and their children will never be forgotten.

Please join us at 7pm to light a candle and remember all of the children who lost their lives too soon.

Post about the day on social media and make sure to tag us in your posts and use the hashtags

We thank you for all of your incredible, continued support. Let's make today even bigger than before!

Beautiful film

Lest we forget...poppies fill my garden in every hue. So lovely to hear "Do Not Stand..." sung at the D-Day service in France. The world should take heed...80 years and attrocities still being committed in the name of greed and power.

Some really important news. Share widely

Have you thought about what would happen?

In some situations, your home won't be taken into account in the means test. There are a few circumstances where this applies:

If you need short-term or temporary care in a care home, your home won't be in the means test.

If your care home is permanent, it won't be counted if it's still occupied by:

your partner or former partner, unless they are estranged from you
your estranged or divorced partner IF they are also a lone parent
a relative who is aged 60 or over
a relative who is disabled
a child of yours aged under 18
If your property is going to be included in the permanent care home means test, the council must ignore it for the first 12 weeks of your care. This is to give you space to decide what to do with your property and paying fees, for example whether to enter into a deferred payment agreement with the council. You will likely qualify for help with fees from the council for the 12 week period if your other capital assets are under £23,250.

I support wedding reform so that couples have choice

24/05/2024

This is so true. As I learn more about this industry you really do appreciate how important the human touch is. I have dealt with direct services and they can be very stressful for families not knowing who to speak to.

23/05/2024

I agree. Direct cremations are good in certain circumstances but for very little extra cost a local FD and celebrant can offer an extra touch for those grieving and make the experience of saying goodbye to a loved one easier. Cost is important but so is closure.

We’ve heard so much lately from online Companies about DIRECT CREMATIONS
With Unattended Direct Cremations it is as it says. Your loved one will be collected from the place of death, looked after until the day of the Cremation and then taken to the Crematorium for cremation. You sign the necessary paperwork and wait for the Ashes to come back to you.
BUT:
Did you know that your local Independent Funeral Director can provide the same service for you?
Making it slightly more personal for you your local Independent Funeral Director can do everything as mentioned above but are more flexible on things like spending time in the Chapel of Rest with your loved one prior to the service; popping a rose or a letter or photograph in the coffin with them.
WHY NOT:
Pick the phone up and talk to your local Independent Funeral Director you might be pleasantly surprised about the help they can give to you. Call us on 01905 27862/07942 114560
Make more people aware of how a Direct Cremation can be arranged locally.

A very useful resource if you have come away from an appointment baffled by all the terms

Not sure what apportionment or committal mean? How about cortège or interment? Funeral language is unfamiliar to most of us, until we need to plan a funeral.​

At Funeral Choice, we exist to make planning a funeral just a little bit easier. That includes providing a free downloadable resource to help you understand the terms and phrases you'll come across when it comes to planning a funeral.​

Please support local milk production and help Bennets with their milk van

One of our vintage electric milk floats needs a new motor, and that costs a lot of money - we need to sell over 1000 one pint bottles of milk just to pay for it. That’s cost, let alone any profit margin in there. We need to sell about 10 million to actually pay for it 😩
So if anyone has been thinking about signing up to our milk round and hasn’t gotten around to it, now would be a great time please 😂😵‍💫

More info and sign u up o at www.bennettsfarms.co.uk We deliver to the majority of roads within the following postcodes:
