What is water cremation?
Published 04/07/2023
We've heard a lot about water cremation in the news recently with reports that Co-op Funeralcare is preparing to offer water cremation as an alternative to cremation or traditional burial. Water cremation, or alkaline hydrolysis, flameless cremation, bio-cremation, resomation, or aquamation, is the process of disposing of a person's body using water, chemicals and heat. Water cremation is considered more environmentally friendly than traditional methods, making it a more sustainable option for the future. The concept is new to the UK and it has lots of people talking about it. To understand more about what water cremation is, we've done a little research. It's never nice talking about what happens after we die, and some of the language used can feel a little distressing. There are lots of choices you have to make in planning a funeral, for yourself or a loved one, so we try and explore new concepts in funeral care to help educate and make talking about death and dying a little easier.

National Bereaved Parents Day 2023
Published 03/07/2023
Realising that there was no special awareness day that honoured bereaved parents, A Child of Mine decided to start up National Bereaved Parents Day in 2020. The aim of the day is to break the silence that surrounds baby and child loss, and open up the conversation so that bereaved parents don’t feel so alone. It is a sad fact that babies and children do die, and so it is time to stop the taboo and be there for bereaved parents and their families.

Your amazing charitable collections paid out in June
Published 29/06/2023
Welcome to the first of our new monthly series focusing on the amazing collections that friends and family have donated to when visiting funeral-notices.co.uk. When a loved one passes away, the majority of families choose to raise money in their memory for a charity that was close to their heart, or that maybe helped them during their final days. Not only is this just a nice thing to do during such a sad time, but it creates a lasting legacy for the deceased, as the money will provide the charity with the means to be there for more people in the future. Here are just a few of the incredible collections that we have paid out in June. Wil James Owen Click here to view notice Tŷ Gobaith Children’s Hospice is a centre of excellence for children’s palliative care ensuring every family facing the death of a child gets the very best care and support when and where they need it.

Celia Cannings Click here to view notice Celia’s family chose two charities to raise money for in her memory.

Published 26/06/2023
Previously I wrote an article suggesting some alternative rock songs that could be played at a funeral, and you can read that here. Since then, as I’ve been listening to music while I work, I’ve found myself mentally compiling another list, this time with a selection of great indie bands. So, here are seven alternative indie songs that you could play at a funeral (or anytime!)

Crohn’s & Colitis UK
Published 22/06/2023
Crohn’s & Colitis UK is a UK charity dedicated to Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and other forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is inflammation and ulceration of the digestive system, which causes various symptoms including abdominal pain, bleeding, anaemia, depression, osteoporosis, weight loss, joint pain, skin rashes, mouth ulcers, fatigue and many more. Severity varies during flare ups and remission, and the role of treatments is to keep patients in remission for as long as possible and symptoms controlled. There is currently no cure. Every 30 minutes someone in the UK is diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis, and around 1 in 4 of those people are under the age of 16. A diagnosis can be daunting and the nature of both conditions makes them hard to deal with in day to day life. Crohn’s & Colitis UK work hard to raise awareness for patients, and their friends and families, to ease the hardships that come with the conditions, and fund research to find a cure. They also work with the UK health sector to improve diagnosis, treatment and management of IBD. As a sufferer myself, I fully understand the importance of a support network and speaking to others who are going through similar experiences. Crohn’s & Colitis UK provide this by organising charity fundraising events and campaigns you can get involved in, and with their local networking groups who with the support of the charity, independently arrange their own meetings and events locally. Their website is also a great source of information, and has up-to-date articles and research.
