Visiting a venue this afternoon, invited along by The Clubhouse, just outside Brighton, on the Saddlescoombe Road, surrounded by nature.
💚💚💚

Lovely venue, suitable for a funeral, memorial, naming or wedding. Delicious food provided by and cake to take home 💖

I’m always really pleased to visit venues and to be able to recommend spaces to families / couples / individuals. ❤️💜

I would be very happy to lead a ceremony here - indoors or outside. 🥰

We are looking forward to this collaboration, we will be discussing how to still have a funeral even on a budget, we will also be explaining and demonstrating shrouding, how to make supermarket flowers into a low cost arrangement as well as plenty of tea and cake.
Save the date.

The Law Commission has just published its long-awaited report to modernise burial and cremation laws in England and Wales. The proposals tackle some important funeral profession challenges, including burial space shortages, direct cremation and uncollected ashes.

A key proposal allows funeral directors to finally return historic, uncollected ashes to crematoria. SAIF welcomes this but strongly opposes any suggestion that crematoria charge our members a fee for clearing an historic backlog they did not create.

Regarding direct cremation, SAIF supports the push for transparency but urges the Government to go further. National online providers must be required to disclose their full chain of third-party contractors so families know exactly who is caring for their loved ones.

Finally, we welcome the recommendation to extend the grave reuse timeline to 100 years, protecting families from unnecessary distress. Read our full summary of how these vital reforms impact independent funeral directors here: https://saif.org.uk/news/law-commission-publishes-proposed-reforms-to-burial-and-cremation-laws/

I love this quote and I think it’s so true. A celebrant is responsible for setting the tone and holding space for a ceremony. After a funeral yesterday, a chap who I’ve met a couple of times now thanked me and said “you’re brilliant at what you do, you get the tone just right”.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

This is a great quote to keep in mind when wedding planning! ❤️
