@helenniebear @outhwaitegeorge I can still hear them in my 50s...

@EmCeeCu @outhwaitegeorge I can still hear those in my 50s. They're awful.

@MegStEsprit If you were in the UK, especially if both your boys were walking with your daughter, that would be a response to Jamie Bulger's abduction and murder. But in the USA, that's probably not it. What a hard thing for your boys to deal with, when they're just being big brothers.

Did you know that most bodies in Britain used to be cared for at home?

Families or local laying-out women would wash and shroud the corpse. From the 17th c, Undertakers would provide a coffin and neighbours would visit for refreshments and to pay respects

Go and see Glenda @cloud9ceremonies while you're at Glasto to find out about Handfastings at the festival. I witnessed her Stonehenge Handfasting less than 2 weeks ago and it was lovely x

It’s a nice day for a white wedding, or hand-tying KG

@IMRyannFletcher @HSDnarrates Fantastic! That's happened so quickly xx

[Jacqui Harding @Jacquicelebrant]

@IMRyannFletcher If I were closer I'd come over and have cake and cocktails, and ask you lots of questions. But I'm not 😭

@Jennymonster79 4g. But it's on 3 network, which had the most problems

Absolute silence here. Is it an Android thing? #emergencyalert

@WoollyWormhead I'm not arguing with you on this. A neurodiverse, decades long, deep dive into hand knit hats? You are the world expert.

@JuliaLivesey @rbeccabeneworth @BBCTheArchers You can have a wonderfully celebratory funeral, that still allows your friends and family to say goodbye. The act of letting go in a burial or at a crem is often more important than we realise.

@rbeccabeneworth @BBCTheArchers Things that he wouldn't say about himself, but kept all of his words untouched. It's a fine balance. Knowing broadly what the person wanted is incredibly helpful, but it's also important to let your family grieve in a way that is right for them too.

[Jacqui Harding @Jacquicelebrant]

@rbeccabeneworth @BBCTheArchers I've planned funerals with people before. It's a really interesting experience. I also think it's important to remember that the funeral is for the people left behind.

@hayleycampbell What a lovely cover... And one to add to my reading list 😍

@kariebookish @yvonnezlam I love being intimidating 😂. Although it's really never called for now in my current role as a Celebrant. But I like to try it on for size, every now and then, just to keep in practise xx

Did you know that there are lots of options for getting to your funeral in style? This sidecar hearse was the perfect choice for R's final journey, and gave his friends the chance to ride with him one last time.
