Thinking of our families who have lost a loved one.

Next week we are putting up our Christmas Tree of Memories. This year our friend Sami of Just Lovett Design is making beautiful individual bespoke hearts. If you would like one for your loved one please let us know and we will put one on the tree for you, which you are more than welcome to collect and take home for your own tree at any time. This is our first heart ready to go on and it is for my adored grandma.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place.

We had the absolute honour of looking after the funeral arrangements of a very special and so very much loved lady. This day will remain in our hearts for a very long time,

Always a subject close to our hearts. We are thinking of anyone affected, especially those families known to us.

We are very pleased to be working with a local lady called Shona and if you think you may need some help then please get in touch.
"Initially, after the death of a loved one it is natural to experience a period of shock and disbelief. As time goes by, talking about how you feel to family and friends can become more difficult, and bereaved people worry that they may not be ‘moving on’ or ‘coping’ as they should be. If you have experienced this, you may find that counselling t...herapy might help you.
To aid with this, we've partnered with experienced counselling therapist Shona Lowe, and are happy to recommend her services. Here's some information from Shona:
I will support you to explore how your loss has affected you in a way which is at your pace and in an environment which is safe, confidential and in which you will feel ready to begin to find ways to cope with your grief. I am experienced in working with people who have experienced the following after bereavement:
Confusion and fear about how they are feeling in their experience of grief Difficulty doing everyday things like going to work or taking care of themselves or others. Anxiety and panic attacks, forgetfulness, or other stress-related symptoms Feeling angry or guilty Relationship and family difficulties or conflict Whether you have experienced a sudden traumatic death of a loved one, or lost someone after a long illness, thoughts and feelings can be overwhelming. Making sense of how to go forward with your own life can be difficult. Counselling therapy can support and enable you to do so"

We would like to thank Karen and Stephanie for a brilliant, first class service for our Mum Joyce, yesterday. She had the send off she deserved. I would definately recommend Fisher Funerals and they are excellent value for money.

The most caring lady i know. She is there for you from the start untill you no longer need her. You will be very well looked after and i couldn't recommend anybody better in your most difficult time

Thank you to Karen and team for looking after us so well on Wednesday. It was a truly professional yet very caring service throughout. Helped us so much to deal with a difficult day by gauging what we wanted as a family, getting to know about our relative and making helpful suggestions. We felt like we were being helped by a friend.

Thank you karen and family for everything you did for my dad on Wednesday. We couldn't have asked for a betta send off for him. From the beginning to the end you were there and he even gave you the run around in the end not just us lol thank you so much xxxxxx

Our mum passed away suddenly aged only 58. Karen was there for us all from the very start to get everything organised. She was warm, sensetive and wonderful, she made the whole process easy. The funeral itself, that took place on 3rd July, was beautiful, a perfect service. Can't thank everyone at Fisher Funerals enough. Because of you, we were able to give our mum the send off she wanted and deserved.

My family and I would like to thank Karen and Stephanie for all their kindness and help in taking care of our mum. Thank you for treating our mum with care and respect and guiding us through our sad time nothing was too much much trouble for you and we are forever grateful, Jane and Julie x

My brother passed away unexpectedly last month aged 58. I rang and compared around 10 funeral companies. Karen Fisher was the last person I called. I thought being a small company, they would be more expensive so didn't expect too much. Immediately, on speaking to Karen, I knew we had found the right person to look after my brother. The rest of the family quickly agreed and Karen took over the reins. Karen was absolutely fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and her expertise in providing a very personal and exceptionally professional service was outstanding. She also offered much (and continuing) support to my niece who was very young to lose her Dad and take on the responsibility that befell her at such a difficult time. I would recommend Fisher Funerals to everybody.

A huge Thank you to Karen and her team.

Karen and Stephanie have help my family so much. Both of you have made a difficult and hard time a bit easier. A big Thank you from the bottom of are hearts. Julie and lan D'Arcy-Knight xx

In January this year I lost my wife of over 45 years. I chose Fisher Funerals to handle her cremation because they were local and not one of the big organisations. It was the best decision I have made. Karen took care of everything professionally, sympathetically and with great care. Karen helped me through a very difficult time and I have no hesitation in recommending Fisher Funerals to anyone looking for a personal and caring service.
