Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the recent news concerning a funeral director in Hull, Robert Bush from Legacy.

Over the past few days I’ve found myself thinking about the families affected, and about others who may have found themselves questioning or worrying because of what they’ve heard.

When we place someone we love into the care of a funeral director, we do so with enormous trust. It is one of the most difficult times in our lives, and that trust is something that should always be treated with the utmost dignity, respect and compassion.

In my role as a funeral celebrant, I have the privilege of working alongside funeral directors every week. I see first-hand the kindness, professionalism and genuine care that so many of them show to the families they support. The recent events are deeply upsetting, but they are not representative of the dedicated people who quietly go above and beyond every single day.

If the news has left you feeling anxious, or has brought back difficult memories of your own loss, please know that you are not alone. Sometimes simply talking to someone who understands the funeral journey can make all the difference.

My inbox is always open. Whether you have questions, need a listening ear, or simply want some reassurance, you can contact me any time.

Take care of yourselves, and of each other.

Lately, I’ve noticed more and more adverts promoting direct cremation, simple, no-fuss, no ceremony. And for some families, that is absolutely the right choice.

But as a funeral celebrant, I feel it’s important to gently say: that isn’t the whole picture. Saying goodbye matters.

A ceremony, whether you call it a funeral or a celebration of life, creates a space to pause, to reflect, and to truly acknowledge that someone we love has lived, and has been lost. It’s not about tradition for tradition’s sake. It’s about people. It’s about connection. It’s about giving grief somewhere to go.

Time and again, I meet families where stories are shared, music plays, laughter and tears sit side by side. There’s a sense of meaning. Of honour. Of having done right by that person.

Direct cremation can offer simplicity. But a ceremony offers something different: a chance to tell a story, a moment to gather, a way to say goodbye.

And importantly, it doesn’t have to be formal, traditional, or immediate. A celebration of life can happen weeks or months later, in a place that feels right, in a way that truly reflects the person.
This isn’t about saying one option is better than another. It’s about making sure families know they have a choice.

Because every life deserves to be acknowledged.
And every goodbye deserves the chance to be meaningful.
