This may not be about Jed but it is everything that your local funeral directors and celebrants are about. You are our community and we want every farewell to be about the person you love in the best way possible. There are always choices… have a chat.

Local celebrants and funeral directors are always open to conversations about death and dying… whether it is you, someone you love or a loss from many years ago we are always here to help and ease what we know is the hardest of times.

Zoe won last night and she so richly deserves this recognition…..
Working alongside her on a daily basis I know how much thought, time and commitment she puts into each and every funeral she conduct; right from the very first phone call, all through the planning and delivery and for years beyond.
I’m so delighted that our industry recognises what we here in Jed already know.
She is simply the best!

I’m always so touched when families take the time to write to thank me after a funeral. I was so grateful today for not only these lovely words but also for this beautiful lamp will shine above my desk. Thank you all x

Each year Zoe Turnbull Funeral Directors in Jedburgh holds a memorial service. This year we spoke about steadfastness and linked it with our historic Capon Tree.
You may like to take a moment to listen to the words and think about those you love and maybe those you remember especially at this time of year.

With thanks to Inglestone House for their image of the Capon Tree

Sharing this very important information on this day of awareness

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day we want to show support to our community that you are NEVER alone. We want to shine a light on the importance of reaching out and supporting one another, every single life matters, and every person is worth fighting for.
Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by su***de, you are held close in our hearts. Please know that grief is a complex journey, but there are support networks available to help you navigate this painful time.
Remember, reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's use this day to spread awareness, understanding, and kindness. Educate ourselves about mental health, actively listen to those in need, and offer a helping hand to those who may be silently battling their own demons. Remember, a small act of kindness can make a world of difference.
Together, we can help prevent su***de.

Today I helped Penny and Simon celebrate their Golden (50th) wedding anniversary with a bespoke ceremony that included a handfasting.
What a special event full of meaning, individuality and family.
Congratulations to you both.
