We are sharing a stand with natural burial ground company, Native Woodland, and Green Willow funeral directors. Hope to see you there. 

Dying Matters Awareness Raising Week 2011 - 16 May 2011

The second Dying Matters Awareness Raising Week is scheduled for the week commencing 16th May 2011. The Dying Matters Coalition is a broad-based and inclusive national coalition of just under 7,000 members, set up in 2009 in response to the Department of Health’s End of Life Care Strategy for England, and so is currently only active in England. Their aim is to change public knowledge, attitudes and behaviours towards death, dying and bereavement. On a positive note, the coalition is keen to forge links with relevant Welsh businesses so if your work is linked to the area of bereavement, and you’d be interested in arranging your own events during the week, you can find out more on their website which can be accessed via our Links page.

Funeral home open day - 18 September 2010

Tovey Bros, Newport’s oldest firm of independent funeral directors – 2010 is their 150^th anniversary – is holding an open day at their stately premises at 9-11 Cardiff Road, Newport NP20 2EH, on Saturday 18^th September 2010. There will be an historic exhibition depicting funeral customs of the past as well as the chance to meet and question Tovey Bros staff and representatives of other professional organisations who work in the area of bereavement. The aim of the day is to remove some of the fear and mystery surrounding death and bereavement that arises mainly as a result of people not knowing what to do and what happens when someone dies. The day is open to both professionals and members of the public. Doors will open at 10.00am and close at 4.00pm. Lovingly Managed will be there so why not pop along and see us. There is parking to the rear of the building and refreshments will be served. For further information contact Tovey Bros on 01633 266848.

Dying Matters Coalition survey - 01 September 2010

Coming to a town near you! Lovingly Managed are going to be taking to the streets in September to complete a survey on behalf of the Dying Matters Coalition. The survey asks questions about people’s attitudes to death, dying and bereavement. It has already been completed in England but we want to find out what the people of Wales think and feel about this highly emotive subject. The results will be passed on to the Welsh Assembly Government and the National Health Service for Wales in the hope that they will use them to inform their decision making regarding future policies that affect these issues. We’ll be in Newport, Cardiff, Bridgend and Carmarthen so, if we stop you in the street, please be nice! Your views are important.

Launch of new web site - 16 August 2010

Hurray, our new web site is up and running. We’re delighted with it and hope it gives visitors to the site a flavour of who we are and what we’re about as well as spelling out in detail how we can help people who wish to plan their own life’s end or need help coping with that of a relative. Many thanks to everyone who’s been involved in its development or helped us by providing pictures and content. However, ultimately, this isn’t a site for us; it’s a site for you – our clients and potential clients – so we’d love to know what you think, positive or otherwise, not just about the web site but about our business in general. Get in touch via our ‘Tell us what you think’ page. Thanks in anticipation.
