Mortons

Independent Funeral Directors

[Mortons @MortonsFunerals]

To all those who have or continue to serve in the armed forces we salute you and thank you for serving. On this Remembrance Day we honour those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

[Mortons @MortonsFunerals]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
God bless all our Armed Forces personnel past & present
Thank you for serving that we may live in peace

This month in @HEMLifeStories Magazine, Derek reflects on the wisdom his late mum passed on, and how the pandemic has deprived us all of some of the valuable elements we have in the past taken for granted, such as hugging each other for comfort.

With families separated by social distancing or through tragic loss of life, #FathersDay 2020 will be painful for many people in many ways. Our thoughts then are with anyone who cannot be with their dad today - and with dads who are unable to hold their children close.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Dame Vera Lynn - a national treasure who brought comfort to people across generations in times of hardship & struggle. Many bereaved families have also found solace in her songs, which remain a popular choice at funerals. https://t.co/FLPXTuWkaW

Independent funeral directors have gone to extraordinary lengths for families during the Covid-19 pandemic. @MortonsFunerals repatriated a gentleman to his final resting place in Ireland, after pausing at his Birmingham home for loved ones to pay respects. #independentgoodbyes

People sometimes choose to hold a wake some weeks or months after a funeral service takes place. It can be a chance to share memories and laughter with families and friends. https://t.co/Hzy81yfH1t

Music is such a big part of our lives – and of remembering, too. Creating a playlist can mean those memories are to hand whenever you want them. https://t.co/Hzy81yfH1t

Objects and keepsakes can hold fond memories of loved ones. We talk about it in our guide to remembering those we’ve lost when the Coronavirus pandemic is over. You can read the guide here: https://t.co/Hzy81xY5CT

People’s kindness during the pandemic has often left us lost for words. We were incredibly moved this week to receive Easter eggs from families, kindly delivered by Rachel from @ROHNHSFT. Rachel (centre) is pictured with James and Vanessa, representing Mortons.

We fully appreciate that, during the Coronavirus pandemic, it may not be possible to hold the funeral service you or your loved ones would have wanted. We have therefore produced a guide to remembering your loved one when the crisis is over: https://t.co/Hzy81yfH1t
