Each person is different and so each funeral should be too.

Bereavement can be a tremendous shock and organising a funeral may seem daunting. As an independent family business we feel that everyone should have a funeral that reflects and respects individuality. However, when you contact us, you can be reassured that a family member will answer any queries or assist you.

Pre-Planning a Funeral All of the family team are able to advise you on any aspects of a funeral, and instead of opting for the traditional funeral; you may prefer to have a funeral with a difference, for example by choosing a colourful coffin or an alternative hearse.

If pre-purchasing a funeral you can be reassured that: • Each plan is bespoke • Written at today’s prices • Relieves the burden for both you and your family • Payments can be made monthly

Memorials As Members of British Register of Accredited Memorial Masons, (BRAMM) our fixers are licensed to fix headstones and memorials in cemeteries and churchyards across the county. We will help you to choose or design the most suitable headstone, memorial or gravestone or renovate an existing headstone if required.

Our memorials are prepared and supplied from our own workshop and we are experienced at cleaning and renovating existing headstones.

Simply writing down your likes and dis-likes or discussing your wishes with friends and family helps to ensure you have the funeral you approve of.

“Don’t forget the yellow flowers!”

“Dad always loved horse-racing”

Memorials are not always associated with a grave space and we have many options available for keepsakes.

“I love the jewellery made from mum’s ashes, it’s like she’s still with me”

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, then soften the onion and carrots for a few mins. When soft, turn up the heat, crumble in the lamb and brown, tipping off any excess fat.

OCTOBER GARDENING O

ctober brings a fantastic display for those gardens that have plants that give Autumn foliage. You really notice the change in temperature and the shorter days which makes the sunny days even more important It is a great time to visit gardens that have Autumn colour such as Westonbirt Arboretum in Gloucestershire. Neighbours of mine regularly visit the Eastern seaboard in the USA where the colours are spectacular.

Things to do: Rake up fallen leaves and either place them on the compost or pile them up to make leaf mould.

Dig over empty beds incorporate as much organic matter as possible to improve the structure of the soil.

Finish planting evergreen shrubs Give conifer hedges a last trim for the winter sets in.

Plants new climbers and perennials.

Lift and store dahlias, gladioli and summer flowering bulbs.

Cut down the dying tops of perennial vegetables.

Insulate the greenhouse if you don’t have a heater get one if you do have check that its in working order. Insulate the inside of your greenhouse with bubble polythene or any other insulating material that lets light through.

It is probably your last chance to sow grass seed.

Pick up the last of your apples and pears before they get damaged.

Only store fruit that is not damaged or diseased Lift and store potatoes and carrots in a dry and darkish cool place.

You should start to prepare the ground for planting bare rooted stock for next month.

Sow sweet peas for next year under cover.

It is best to do all the jobs in the garden sooner rather than later as with the shortening days you will only have a limited time to get things done Plant trees at this time of the year while the soil is warm for the

roots to take hold.

Plant garlic before the weather gets to cold.

There is probably only one or two cuts of the lawn left unless your right down south.

Secure any climbers or any other plants that are vulnerable to the winds of Autumn.

Plant container grown climbers. Plant up new herbaceous perennials and lift and divide overgrown and plant.

Lift and store dahlia tubers.

Put netting over your ponds to prevent debris from falling in and if you are lucky enough the same goes to the swimming pool.

Lift and store tender summer - flowering bulbs.

Good time now to go to your garden centre and buy plants that give a good winter colour.

It is a good time to tidy up that pond before the water gets too cold.

With an established lawn rake out thatch, aerate and top – dress.

Finish planting Autumn onion sets.

Sow broad beans but cover them with cloches in colder parts of the country.

Lift parsley and mint and pot to put on the window sill.

Water the plants in the greenhouse and indoor plants less.

Constantly remove any yellow leaves from and around plants as this encourages disease and pests.

In the greenhouse grow radishes, mustard and cress for winter salad either in pots or recycle those tomato grow bags.

WILL PRICES: £75+VAT SINGLE £100+VAT JOINT

If you have money or property and become unable to deal with your affairs because of an accident or illness your assets may be frozen. If you have a stroke, or develop Alzheimer’s, your family may have to apply to the courts to deal with your affairs. This can be expensive, may take a year or more to complete and a large sum of money may have to be deposited with the courts!

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives somebody of your choice the power to deal with your financial affairs if for any physical or mental reason your were unable to. It is the only document which gives this power but you can complete one while in good health, so you need to act as soon as possible.
