In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row

That mark our places, and in the sky

The larks still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amidst the guns below.

 

We are the dead.  Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.

Loved and were loved and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch, be yours to hold it high

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields

 

Lt-Colonel John McRae
Doctor, Soldier, Author, Artist and Poet 1872 - 1918

    Why use an independent funeral director?

    The independent funeral profession has a long and proud history of providing a personal, caring service to local communities.

    Single minded devotion

    With an Independent Funeral Service all of their attention is concentrated on satisfying the needs of the family. They are not distracted or bound by corporate rules handed down from head office. They are flexible and responsive to your needs.

    Devoted to families,
    not profits

    Large concerns answer to shareholders. Independent family businesses answer to you. In a locally owned firm there is no pressure from head office to increase profits. Our business will do well when we serve you well.

We are currently designing some new sites with lots of new ideas. Please keep checking back or sign up to our newsletter for updates.
