First-hand recommendations are so important when planning a funeral as so few of us (thankfully) have prior experience of arranging one - we're so glad this family felt they could ask friends and family to put their trust in us. #FeedbackMatters #FridayFeedback

The second of August's birthflowers (the first being the poppy) is the gladiolus, seen here to great effect in this warming late-summer arrangement. Available in a wide range of colours, these showy blooms are bound to steal the show! #Gladioli #FuneralFlowers

Time's nearly up for finding the last of @KangaroosSussex's decorated roos, dotted all around #WestSussex. How many have you tracked down so far? Get out and about this weekend to enjoy the end of the holidays and see if you can complete the challenge! https://t.co/iFSKo6t3D2

Tributes come in all shapes and sizes. A member of our staff sadly lost their beloved dog last month and the family made this simple tribute to him, using his water bowl. What a beautiful way to keep him in their hearts. #Pets #Tribute

Did you know that cemeteries used to pay a much greater role in society than they do now? In the Middle Ages, they are said to have hosted theatrical performances, trials and elections, among other social events. #FolkloreThursday #FuneralHistory #Cemetery #SocialHistory

The #celosia flower (sometimes better known as the #cockscomb) represents love, affection and resilience. Available in a range of bright colours, it lends welcome texture and interest to a vibrant tribute. #FuneralFlowers #FloralTribute #TheLanguageOfFlowers #FlowerMeanings

Peridot is one of the four standard gem options in the #WithMe jewellery range, shown here in the Polaris ring. As each piece is made to order, you can request any significant choice of stone or metal finish. #AshesOptions #MemorialJewellery #AugustBirthstone

Native to Madagascar, beautifully-scented #Stephanotis represents a lasting bond or cherished relationship - an ideal choice for a funeral arrangement. What's more, they're easy to take cuttings from for a lasting reminder after the funeral has passed. #FlowerMeanings #Funeral
