What Is Dying

I am standing on the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch her until at length she is a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says, 'There! She's gone!'
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side,
and she is just as able to bear her load of living weight to her destined harbor.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There! She's gone!'
There are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, 'There she comes!'

    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.
