Congratulations to our amazing Amie for being nominated for the AGFD Good Funeral Awards – Funeral Director of the Year.
Closing date for nominations is the 31st July 2023. Submit your nomination now!
The AGFD is a non-profit making organisation aiming to bring natural eco-friendly funerals into the mainstream.
They say: “The essence of a green funeral is simplicity. It rejects the idea of the traditional style funeral in favour of something with a more natural feel. Burials are often in an unspoilt landscape rather than a conventional cemetery and it rejects the more artificial elements associated with funerals such as lacquered coffins with brass handles, strict ceremonies and embalming.
It’s the idea of caring for the deceased with a minimal impact on the environment. For people observing certain religious traditions, a green burial may also be a way to meet the requirements of the religious law in a modern world. However not all of these ideas have to be used and certain elements alone can work within a traditional funeral service too – for example choosing a willow coffin. The choice is yours.”

Nomination submissions close on 31st July and more information can be found here.
