At a coffee shop in Fulham, London ~ I’m drawn to it because of its name (I’m just after a good cuppa, but the sandwich looks tempting!)
~ and while sitting with my tea brewing, I’m pondering the word & name choice of this independent shop: ‘honesty’
I love that ethos for their brand: good products ethically sourced; a transparent company.
Single words convey so much of the intention and ethos of a company.
Here’s some that are embedded within Dandelion Farewells:
* personal *transparent *trustworthy *connected *confidential *ethical *professional * sensitive *qualified *attentive *kind

“Wrap me in… a shroud.”

Another thoughtful wish shared by Luna at our recent My Wishes, My Way event.

This speaks to one of the key messages at the heart of My Wishes, My Way — that funeral choices can be both practical and deeply personal. For some, the idea of being wrapped in a shroud feels simple, natural and comforting.

Our free workshop helps people explore the wide range of options available, offering clear, honest and jargon-free information so they can better understand what is possible and what feels right for them.

By encouraging open conversation, My Wishes, My Way helps individuals and families feel more informed, more reassured and more able to create a farewell that reflects personal values and wishes.

When invited recently by a local nursing home to be available for conversations about funeral options, these are the resources we shared.
The Good Funeral Guide CIC produces excellent information and these leaflets feel the most transparent and clear. In addition, completely independent of any slant or persuasion, so genuinely focused on individual choice.
(No daytime tv advertising; no freebie giveaways; no sign-up to financial plans.)

Westlake House Care Home - Barchester Healthcare asked Dandelion Farewells to join them for the afternoon, having (anonymously) attended our ‘My Wishes, My Way’ community session back in May. We were checked-out for providing good information, presented well, with no sales or bias.

Ask them how they found us; ask us to facilitate meaningful conversations for funeral choices, for all settings.

Here are details of a very special event we are co-hosting with the wonderful team from Heart in their Hand Project, on behalf of British Institute of Funeral Directors.
This is a unique opportunity to visit the hub of such a special company; understand the founding intentions; and deepen awareness of continuing bonds through such beautiful keepsakes.
Please share with local and professional networks. All welcome.
RSVP [email protected]

Providing these keepsakes to Chestnut Tree House and having them available for families we support, we value the significance of these personal gestures and precious items.

The Dandelion Farewells team has spent three days on focused training with external facilitators, as we welcome a new colleague, deepen our own professional skills, and grow together. This dedicated time ensures that the founding ethos of the company is embedded in all we do:
~ to provide comprehensive, individual, connected, trusted, transparent funeral support;
~ to be available for funeral planning conversations, for individuals and professional settings.

Alongside us overseeing emails and phone calls from a different ‘office’, “thank you” to our freelance colleagues for completing roles within our responsibilities this week.
