I’ve been told to pass on this memory to my future family generation about what my uncle told me about his grandads great grandad of that grandad’s dad who died in 1710. The best part about this story is that all of my past family were blood related. My uncle told me that my family have passed on this chain of memories and they wanted to keep it up for as long as they could. Ive been told my family member who went in 1710 was one of the most caring richest men at that time who tried to re home and feed as many stray dogs on the streets of London as he could and every begging child who was out on the cold nights of christmas eve, he took to his place to stay and eat on Christmas Day. He also had a job making uniforms for the soldiers at war which was his own company/business and if he saw a war veteran sitting on the street he would get him clothes and some money to start a new in life. I don’t know if your interested but I wanted to share this as it’s quite rare for family’s to be this way

I’m American & I’ve got to say, I admire the way funerals & cremations are handled in the UK. When we get past Covid 19 I would like to see some of my local funeral directors take a trip across the pond and learn some of your techniques. I live in a small New England town and over 70% of the population is atleast part English,I think many people would like a traditional English funeral. I think I will suggest the trip to the director that my family uses. I would like my service to be done this way. I am to be buried in my family cemetery and we come from an old English family so it’s appropriate.

15 mins for a cremation usually 1 hour 30 to 2 hours sometimes longer.. excellent video ❤

Im a Funeral Director for over 20 years, this is exactly how it is

Deal with rod as part of my work, a true gentleman who provides a fantastic service

He is extremely professional, clearly great at what he does. Thank-you for sharing :)

I'm in The States we only have caskets and urns. Here in the States we have to go to college for a little over 2 years to beva Funeral Director and an Embamer. Also, we have to pass a National Board.😊😊😊😊 I would love to be a Funeral Director in The UK.

Maybe you guys can shed some light on something for me.. In the 1950s why would someone in the UK be buried in a lead lined coffin? When my dad died they were to Bury him in his family plot. However they couldn't cz his fathers coffin was lead lined. There was a feeling that they never told the full story about his death. Never ever bonded with my dad's side of the family. Very deep and and told you nothing. There version of his death was Weil's disease.. but my mother always thought there were hiding something.. I was always curious and meant to ask a funeral director.

Are you honest? God is watching he knows.
